Since most of you guys complain that the pictures are not showing up, I’ll just do a reposting ok?
Sorry to Lyrical Lemongrass and Meiyen and whoever has tagged me, I’m just too lazy to get my butt off the chair and start doing the meme. I’ll start by completing this favourite food tag first.

My favourite food would be Dim Sum by all means. I’m blessed to grow up at Ipoh, the land of good food, particularly good dim sum. Dim Sum literally translated, means “touch the heart” (order to your heart’s content). It may be derived from yat dim sum yi (????), meaning “a little token”.

Having a meal in a dim sum restaurant is known as yum cha (??), it used to be a favourite activity of my family on Sunday. Now that we have grown up and dad and mum has retired, they would yum cha almost every weekday after their daily routine of jogging. We will still visit Foh San or Ming Court on a crazy bustle Sunday when everyone is home.

The ever famous Foh San and Ming Court dim sum is a famous haunt by tourists for some scrumptious and variety of dim sum. A little advise here, either go there as early as 7 am or as late as 11 am. Its hard to get a table during peak hour, and after you get seated bring your bill to the cart and take your own dim sum as the waitress are too busy to entertain you. I have categorised my collection of dim sum pictures into these:

Filling-Goodies
For those with big appetite, these goodies will fill you up instantly. You have the smooth and soft chee cheong fun with a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil, drizzle with deep fried onions and roasted sesame, the fluffy and soft char siew baos with well seasoned and chunky char siew filling, or would you prefer the sweet lotus paste and red bean paste? Not to forget he glutinous rice with flavourful chicken, waxed meat and mushroom, sometimes hidden underneath a lotus leaf dress.






Deep-Fried-Soft-Crunchy-Sensation

My ultimate comfort food and also the hallmark of “evil-bad-unhealthy food”. The golden brown goodies crunch in your mouth, follows by a the sweetness of meat filling. Heaven!

Hot-Sexy-Steamy-Stuff
The delicate and thin skin is filled with beautiful things that make a man happy. The flavour and the sweetness of the juicy meat or shrimps linger in your mouth bite after bite.

For-Your-Sweet-Tooth
These keep your sweet tooth satisfied. Warm to the touch, these crisp, feathery pastry and bouncy light custard will make you goes “whoaaaaaaa”. Black sesame tong sui that preserves the traditional grinding and roasting procedures and rumoured to prevent grey hair

Now, are you tempted to make a drive down to Ipoh?
Again, each dim sum place in Ipoh has their own specialty. Foh San is famous for their egg tarts, char siu bao, glutinious rice with chicken and Har Gao. Ming Court ‘s specialty would be Yu Mai (fish ball in elongated shape), taro puff and Guai Fei Bao (Bao with lotus paste and egg yolk).So plan your makan schedule now so that you can eat the best stuff of both place, ie 730 am Foh San and head to Ming Court at 8.30 am. Who can get enough of good dim sums???
