"Ipoh Day Trip Part 1: Dim Sum at Foh San!"

Always wanted to go to Ipoh for food hunt and to visit my Padawan PeiSee since she left Modo few years ago. Yesterday, I finally fulfilled that promise! Woke up at 5.30AM and drove down... got lost in Ipoh city but thankfully PS asked her BF to rescue us while she booked a table at Ipoh's largest dim sum outlet, Foh San. I'm always wary of going to tourist traps, and Foh San plainly screams "tourists here!" So lets see what's our verdict:

Massive castle

Spread of food. There were just 4 of us (and her BF had to leave halfway through), so we couldn't take too many dishes:

Siu mai... this is decent, but a bit hard

Har kaw... wow....just awesome! The skin wrapping is too thick and best of all, the filling is flavourful! Even Wife who seldom eats these complimented on it.

Fluffy char siew pau... The meat is not too fat and the sauce is not too sweet... brilliant!

The egg tarts look nice...

..just like these pink cakes. Too bad no space left in the stomach! :P

The bill came up to about RM60, which is slightly expensive, but we were very satisfied customers indeed :D
