————————————————————

Foh San is probably the most well-known dim sum eatery in Ipoh.

This is the new Foh San building, located in the middle of Ipoh town. They recently moved to this place to accommodate more customers, as the previous one was lacking space.

It opens very early in the morning and it’s usually packed throughout the business hours, especially on weekends. Some customers might need to share table with others.

The building consists of 2 floors. This is the view at the top floor.

And this is the ground floor.

As you can see, most of the tables are occupied. It’s very spacious but due to the high number of customers, it seems packed.

The waiter and waitresses will be pushing their trolleys from table to table and you pick the ones that you want. Alternatively, you can go to the food counter too.

Foh San is quite famous – people out of Perak would wake up early in morning and drive all the way to Ipoh to have dim sum. Thankfully I’m living in Ipoh – it’s just about 15 minutes drive from home.

One of my favourite drinks is the chrysanthemum tea.

Besides the usual dim sums, you’ll have other type of food served.

There are many types of paos (buns), char siew (barbecued pork) pao, kaya pao, kai yuk (chicken meat) pao and lots more of other paos.

They also have chee cheong fun, with prawn or char siew.

And fried LIUs and yam, with mayonnaise.

If you’ve been following my blog long enough, you’ll know that I love “LIU”s so much! Crunchy and yummy! The one I had in Foh San is simply delicious, together with mayonnaise of course!

So if you’re visiting Ipoh, don’t miss out Foh San! =)
