Description

The ever famous Foh San is really for the early risers. This is a favourite haunt for the older folks - after their morning exercises and in for a cup of tea and an array of no frills, scrumptious dim sum to start the day. It's no surprise therefore, that getting a seat is difficult. After getting yourself a table, you may have to fight to get noticed as the waitresses are often too busy to entertain.

Apparently, the Foh San also makes very good mooncakes for the Mooncake festival. If you're in Ipoh sometime August/September, perhaps a box or two for the folks back home will make a great gift.

Foh San has its namesake plastered all over the frozen food sections in supermarkets across the nation.

Great Business
This is a great restaurant. The food is excellent. They have a wide variety of selections and all are above par. Service is as good as can be (considering it is jam packed and about a 5 people per / sq foot!) - but all that adds to its ambience. The owners are very nice people as well and very much part of the charm of the restaurant. 10% of why I return every weekend is to see the owners manually tallying the bills. I don't believe I have seen anyone else do arithmetic as fast or accurate!    [16 Nov 2008 23:53:07]
