Foh San Restaurant 富山茶樓

Hubby has been wanted to try Foh San Dim Sum in Ipoh for a long long time, and the last time we went we saw a long queue of people lining up for seat.

So, this time, guess what he told me, let’s be there at 6am. Goodness me, how can I get up then? With his enthusiastic character, he honestly waits no more but to drag me down from the bed. I wonder what kind of loving marriage is this be?

Anyway, we were there at about 6.30am, plenty of tables available. People only starts to flood in at about 7am. So, to conclude the long queue query, I believe its fall on public holiday, Foh San can never be the place for breakfast; otherwise, you gotta be there as early as 5am.

I have not been to the old Foh San before, so, can’t compare much, but this new building honestly it gives people a pleasant feeling. It’s a 2 storey place for dim sum, absolutely specious, still plenty of people lining up for tables & seats. And, they have a counter where you could place your order for other dim sum like Carrot Cake Sauté

Nothing will go wrong if you have something like Siu Mai (燒賣), Har Kau (蝦餃), etc.

And that’s what exactly what we’d for the morning. Of course, compared to Penang, Foh San Dim Sum is some how better rating than Penang, but having an one and half hour drive to Ipoh just for good dim sum, honestly isn’t it a bit sumptuous?

Char Siew Pow (叉燒包) is filling and the stuff is piping hot.

Shrimp Roll; always go well with mayonnaise cream.

(

Deep fried items like Fried Spring Roll (春卷), Fried Siu Kau, and Fried Meat Ball; that honestly for fried food lovers.

Carrot Cake Sauté (炒蘿蔔糕) is their famous, which I was told. But we find it a bit dry, it wasn’t that oily.

Steam Pork Ribs (豉汁排骨). Most important it’s the flavour, thus marinate time is important for this.

Last what I always wanted to try is the Ginger Milk Curd (薑汁撞奶). This is typical Chinese dessert, most of the Hong Kong people will make this at home. I was told it’s not difficult to make.
