Early morning of Chinese New Year eve, I followed my sister and family to Penang for their usual Chinese New Year visitation as my brother in law is from Penang.

After picking up their 2 daughters from Kampar, we continued our journey to Ipoh to have breakfast. We went to Foh San. The restaurant is big with 2 floors of dining area.

The system here is not so great as customers have to line up to pick their dim sum. The line can be long at times.

It is typical for restaurants here to provide customers with a bowl of hot water for the customers to rinse the tea cups and cutlery.

Here are some of the dim sum that we had.

Some steam dim sum.

Deep fried dim sum.

Some steam buns.

Baked BBQ pork pastry.

“Loh Mei Gai”.

Overall the dim sum here is not as good as the those at Ming Court, just across the street which is closed that day.

A huge abacus decorated the counter on the second floor of this restaurant.
