Food Hunt: Foh San Dim Sum (富山茶楼), Ipoh

Good morning folks!

It's time for yet another food hunt and this time we are out there to enjoy the most delicious Dim Sum in the town of Ipoh. I guess everyone would know what is the Dim Sum restaurant as it was very popular among the people who came from all walks of life in Malaysia. Those who come to Ipoh must try out Foh San Dim Sum as it was among the best in Ipoh and in the country. Even as early as 5.00am in the morning, the place was already started to get crowded especially during the weekends or holidays. We arrived in Foh San around 8.30am in the morning and the crowd were already jamming in the restaurant. Luckily for us as we managed to find a place to sit as my parents know a friend who are willing to let us sit on the table. The place is very crowded and unorganize as well because while you are eating, those customer who are waiting to get a seat will stand beside you while waiting for you to finish eating. In my opinion, it was very rude like that as the system is not efficient at all. They should have a waiting list or a number list to control the crowd.

Once we sat down, we immedietely go and look for our Dim Sum. This time around, we have to self service because the food were unable to reach us as the place is too crowded and the trolley were unable to go through to serve the customers. We have taken a lot of Dim Sum such as 'Char Siew Pau', 'Yee Mai', 'Siew Mai', 'Har Kau' and many other Dim Sum (see pictures). Frankly speaking, it had been ages for me since I eat Foh San Dim Sum because normally the place is crowded and I don't like crowded places because it's difficult to find a place. Only today because my relatives would like to try out this Dim Sum place. Overall, the Dim Sum is superbly nice and very recommended to all of you. The Dim Sum is rich in taste and you would love it from the start till the end. A good place to be and if possible, try to go during normal days where you can enjoy longer time consuming your Dim Sum as it was not so crowded compared during holidays. A good Dim Sum place in Ipoh? Think Foh San! :) MY RATING: 5/5
