Coming back to the point, the four of us, known as "wai sik si lai" had our breakfast in Foh San in peace that Friday morning. NO need to queue up or "fighting" to get seats, (I heard lately there were some fights over some tables and seats during the long weekend)...
Upon reaching the entrance, the down portion was quite full, so we proceeded to the upper floor. Surprisingly, it was quite empty, we chose a nice table at a corner overlooking the whole floor... after comfortably seated, we ordered the following....
talk of the town Foh San...
it was quite empty on the upper floor..
Tai Pau
"dissected" for my camera..
i find this Big Pau very tasty...
glutinious rice with chicken stuffings..
i like it too..
some assorted "liews"
not bad though not warm enough..
the fresh fishballs...
vegetables shrimp dumplings...
what this called.. i dont know...
just eat la.. hahhaa...
the siew mai-s
A-Must-Eat dumplings, my frens said...
shrimp dumplings
har kau (i didnt touch these)
char siew pau A Must too..
dessert...ahh..let me think...
oh..chestnut something....
all these food must be followed by
cups and cups of chinese tea
(to wash away the oil and the fats in our bodies)
All these came to RM51/-
and we walked away happily,
patting our stomachs,
burping & feeling satisfied...
lol...

hello Claire,
ReplyDeletewow the food looks very delicious and nutritious. We also have Dim Sum resturant in Philipines. I like their foods. Some of thier foods are similar of what you've shown here. I like going to that restaurant but in Phils. its pricy to go this kind of restaurant.
Tai Pau? is that what you called? we call that Sio Pao in my country hehe I like both chicken and pork flavour.. hmmm yummy..hehehe
I am craving this now your fault ;)
But anyway Happy Sunday.
wow, you managed to eat there? *clap clap clap* The last time i was back, we went there to take a look and was amazed to see this magnificent building. What a big difference from its previous building. I was wondering when we could eat there because it was so full of people and the whole road was jammed.
ReplyDeleteWeng, tai pau means BIG dumpling, siou pau is small. :) yes, we have big and small ones here too, with chicken and pork fillings as well.
ReplyDeleteBarb: Maybe we were early last friday, around 8.30am.. when we shot off around 9 or so, it was crowded.. the foh san boss will find it very difficult to become poor, i tell u!

ReplyDeletei just wanna say, there's alotta nice and cheap food in ipoh, huh! been to ipoh quite a few times but nvr get to eat all those that you posted here... one day.. one fine day... ask goolymama to drive! hehe...

I was in Ipoh during the Raya break to attend my sister's wedding. Stayed in Tower Regency Hotel
ReplyDeleteRainbow Angeles: yes, i know u, u r "faymus" in gooly's blog.. lol.. i love to read the comments both of u gave to each other. But i havent been to your blog as yet.. thanks for coming by and comment, "silent" or not, i appreciate your invisible presence.. lol.. yes, all good and bad come and go, it is a matter of how we take it initially then later on, time will heal our feelings..
ReplyDeleteOK, i look forward to seeing u and gooly driving all the way from we-know-where and hope we can really meet up one day!
Borneo Falcon: u flew all the way and didnt give me a call? how can!!! hahahaha... just joking.. so.. did u enjoy ipoh? hope u did and had brought home some sweet memories of ipoh town..
looks like now Foh San is a "hit" place in Ipoh huh??
ReplyDeleteNext time when i go to Ipoh, i will refer to your blog on where to eat!
I like the "pau pau", especially the char siew pau, when i go for dim sum, i never missed char siew pau.
yeah, the portions are bigger than the others. though not necessarily tastier. but i still like the breakfast experience at Foh San.
