Lotus Root with Fish Paste Grand Imperial is one of my favourite dim sum place in KL; you'll see us stuffing ourselves silly with dim sum when the pay cheque's out. During days when moolah runs low, we'll resort to our favourite neighbourhood dim sum restaurant Jin Xuan. My colleagues have raved about the food, and one of them chose to have his wedding reception here! We took their words … [Read more...]
With my bed hair and early morning sleepy eyes, I wrote my name on the perpetual waiting list at Jing Xuan and stand by the road side with a bunch of hungry people who loves their morning fix. “What’s with these DJ people? I can easily make money by opening a decent dim sum place around Atria!” I can’t help but to keep complaining. Glad that we manage to secure a table after a mere 20 … [Read more...]
I blame it on food bloggers, with reviews like this, this ,this and this, Hong Kee Dim Sum is now pack to the brim every weekends. Like an annoying pest, we stood beside tables that look rather promising with rules of thumb like least food left on the table, the man is digging out $$, the woman is packing and kids were asked to finish the last sip of tea. The legendary items like sang chao lor … [Read more...]
“Hi guys, can do me a favor? I need a Mandarin-English translator as I’m doing an interview with a China chinese chef from Oriental Spoon.” “Sure! We would love to!” In fact, Chef Yu, who was hailed all the way from Guangzhou, China, speaks his mother tongue so accurately and succinctly that will put our “mangonese” (Malaysian Cantonese) into shame. Jason Ipoh Mali has no problem … [Read more...]
I admit, I was skeptical towards halal dim sum, why would anyone want to pay so much for halal dim sum when the real thing is easily available? However, everyone, including our Muslim acquaintances deserves a fair opportunity to enjoy these tantalizing and dainty little goods that “touch your heart”, literally. I was so glad that I tagged along for lunch at Restaurant MinMax, a halal Chinese … [Read more...]
I traveled down south to the City of Merlion last month. There is no time to go any other places in the city other than the working place but the place that I’m staying in is awesome! In addition to the magnificent view and relaxing atmosphere, the beachside café serves very delicious buffet spread too. I managed to ask the BOSS and Xiu Long Bao out on my last night stay. CARAMEL … [Read more...]
Old Town is always a pride of Ipoh people with the origination of White Coffee, curry noodles who made their name to foreign land, hor hee that attracts patrons from other states and other scrumptious variety of food. For me, it is a place that stir up nostalgia because it is a place where my parents brought me for afternoon tea since young before Starbucks, Coffee Bean or the air … [Read more...]
We were still hungry after the three course meal at Sandias, on the way back, we drove around SS2 looking for Fei Lou Lok Lok. Somehow we ended up at A Little Dim Sum Place because I need a cool and airy place after a couple of drinks. This is a cafe style dim sum place without the aunties pushing dim sum carts shouting "Har Gao! Siew Mai! Char Siew Bao!".Spurred by the banner, we were tempted to … [Read more...]
Ipoh is famous for Hong Kong style Dim Sum and usually tourists will opt for the famous Foh San. But personally i think that Ming Court Dim Sum is the best Dim Sum in Ipoh. Maybe its because of my childhood memory. Every Sunday, Dad would take us to Yum Cha and we went to Ming Court quite frequently.Please dun get me wrong, as there's no Ming Court Hotel in Ipoh, it's simply MING COURT HK DIM SUM. … [Read more...]

The ever famous Foh San dim sum is a famous haunt by tourists for some scrumptious and variety of dim sum. It is so famous that it had become a landmark for outstation people, like Lou Wong Taugeh Chicken is behind Foh San, Funny Mountain taufufah is opposite Foh San. But if you ask any Ipoh people, they will recommend Ming Court or Yoke Fook Moon instead of Foh San. A little advise here, either … [Read more...]
