Best Dim Sum in Ipoh

Written by Updated ago

Born of Taiwanese origin but emerged in Southern China, dim sum is served in small bite-sized portions and is synonymous to 'yum cha' in Hong Kong. Although dim sum is meant to accompany tea, many cultures began to serve dim sum as early as five in the A.M and even till dinner time. Eventually, dim sum became an all-time favourite, literally. If you stay in or plan to visit Ipoh, check out these hot spots for the best dim sum in town.

    Chooi Yue Dim SumNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Highly hyped, Chooi Yue is specialized in dim sum and has circled around social media since the beginning of the trend. The Liu Sha Bao is said to be especially delicious with signature fillings such as pandan lotus besides the traditional Salted Egg Yolk. On top of that, the pao here are also very loved among goers. Prices are affordable too. Just like any other renowned restaurants, the waiting line and incoming crowds at Chooi Yue can be unforgiving.

    Tips

    Easy parking!

    Things to expect

    'A little touch of the Heart', as the restaurant claims.

    Best with

    Har Gaw, Siew Mai, and Liu Sha Bao.

    Restoran Foh SanNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Only opened till mid-noon, Restoran Foh San is one of the extremely well-known dim sum houses in town. The place is rather grand looking compared to the other regular dim sum shops but prices are still competitive. Foh San stands firm against its competitors on the same street and is usually packed in the morning till noon. While the crowd dies down towards closing, expect to be potentially disappointed with some of the all-time favourite dim sum dishes to have already run out by then. Despite mixed reviews since its relocation in 2009, Foh San is still running fast and strong. The company also makes their own signature Mooncakes that sell like hotcakes especially during the Mid Autumn Festival!

    Tips

    Prices are per plate.

    Things to expect

    Air-conditioned.

    Best with

    Siew Mai, Har Gaw, and Egg tart.

    Price

    RM5.50 to RM9.50

    Ming Court Hong Kong Tim SumNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Another famous dim sum restaurant, Ming Court is extremely packed especially during weekends and holidays. Either come really early or really late to avoid competing for tables. The dim sum here is not served in steam wooden baskets unlike other dim sum restaurants. While many recommend Ming Court, the restaurant is located on the same street as two other big dim sum shots. Therefore, expect to hear mixed reviews as different people will throw their never ending opinions and comparisons between the 'big 3'.

    Tips

    No queue system.

    Things to expect

    Strangers eyeing you till you leave.

    Best with

    Siew Mai and Chee Cheong Fun.

    Restoran Yoke Fook Moon Non halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Another one of the 'Big Three' dim sum makers in Ipoh, Yoke Fook Moon pretty much takes all the night crowds simply because it is one of the very few restaurants that open for dim sum at night. However, that's not the reason why the eatery became a food hub. The real reason lies in the dim sum itself. Claimed by many to be their favourite, it is not a breeze to win that title especially in Ipoh whereby there are many famous dim sums around within a smaller radius. Although service has been criticized, Yoke Fook Moon is still fully grounded and maintaining its reputation (in dim sum, that is).
    Tips

    A variety of dim sum fun available including noodle dishes.

    Things to expect

    Perhaps some bad service...

    Best with

    Egg tart and Char Siew Bao.

    Price

    RM6.00 to RM12.00
