Dimsum and Ipoh goes hand in hand. Many foodies claim that Ipoh's dimsum is the best in Malaysia. So if you are on a gastronomical trip to the capital of silver state - Perak, get dimsum for breakfast to kick start your day!


And where about for the so-claimed best dimsum restaurants in town? It is none other than the popular dimsum street in the heart of city - Jalan Leong Sin Nam. Within walking distance from Ipoh Parade and the Syuen Hotel, it houses 3 main players of giant dimsum operators in Ipoh namely Yoke Fook Moon, Ming Court the oldest of all - Foh San. Foh San had just moved over to join the crowd, previously was located on another street nearby. I still remembered my previous dining experience at the old restaurant. People, people and people. Rubbing shoulders, very little personal space, getting an unoccupied table was a mission as one walked into the cramped restaurant. Hard to believe, but everyone still wanted to wait while holding a starving tummy. Oh boy! Thanks to the present Foh San that stands a few doors away from the yellow facade of Yoke Fook Moon. Now it provides 2 levels of dining area and the patrons do not have to suffer anymore. Larger, clean, spacious, airy and sophisticated.
