Chris and Ying Kang invited me for a breakfast at Yoke Fook Mun, a restaurant that cater food especially for the dimsum lovers! Everyone in Ipoh knows this rule "if you want to eat dimsum,you have to wake up early,or else you have to queue for a long time for your turn to have your meal". 7am is the peak hour on this street especially on weekends like saturday and sunday. This street has a nickname of DIM SUM GAI because there are many dimsum restaurants ( Ming Kok,Foh San and Yoke Fook Moon are the giants in this sector). I woke up a bit early and have my dad sent me there. Of course, #MalaysianTiming is always bad,worse than me,they came late. Anyway,because of the crowd, I still have to wait! Finally I got a seat in the middle of the restaurant where everyone walked around, three of us are getting so hungry and start ordering food when the aunties carrying Dimsum with a trolley approached us.The BEST comes first, the king of Char siew pau (Pau filled with pork meat). I personally think that they have the best char siew pau in town because the dough is not too thick and the filling tastes REALLY good. The pork meat are not too fat nor too dry.The char siew sauce used to cook the filling are still remained in the pau and it's like the essence of the pau. This is a MUST TRY and you'll regret for not eating this. Lo Mai Kai (glutinouous rice) is rich with variety of ingredients such as mushroom,chicken,char siew,dried shrimp,lap cheung(a kind of pork in sausage form). It is exactly the best choice to kick start a brand new day because this Lo Mai Kai is for one serving and this amount is huge enough for an adult. The chicken and char siew are perfect when it mixed with the sticky glutinuous rice. Lap cheung is one of the credits for giving the rice a kind of sweetness. But remember, drink the right amount of chinese tea when eating Lo Mai Kai because excess drinking may cause you bloated. (TRY THIS TOO,MEMANG SEDAP!)When you come to Dimsum restaurant, Siew Mai is also everyone's favourite. Dip it with a little of chilli sauce might make the siew mai taste better because some may think that siew mai is too heavy with the "pork smell". Anyway,eat it when it is served hot.We also ordered Lo Bak Gou (radish cake) because it looks really tempting to me. I guess the chef never put too much flour in making this dish because I can still taste the freshness of the radish in it. Excessive flour might cause you feel like you are eating flour only and the smell will be disgusting. This simple dish can actually measure how professional the chef is. The dried shrimp makes the Lo Bak Gou tastes better by giving it adequate saltiness.Lau Sa Pau is a pau with very think "skin" and the filling is made of salty egg and egg yolk. Of course the filing was added with sugar. This is really delicious because there are mixture of sweet and salty in your mouth and both eventually stimulate your taste bud. I find this a really unique dish because if you eat the whole pau in one time, you may think that the filling burst and spill all over your mouth. I bet you can't get the same kind of satisfaction in other food!Mua Chi is a kind of dessert in chinese restaurant where the dough of glutinous rice will be mix with peanut powder on the outer side of the Mua Chi. However,the chef choose to use black sesame as the filling which is not too sweet,too sweet may cause diebetes!!! And this makes the whole meal end with nice full stop.

The price may be a bit exhorbitant but it really worth a try ( or even more). It's an once in a life time experience with mountain people mountain sea. so,do DROP BY this restaurant to have a meal in the future. p/sIf you never try Ipoh dimsum,means you never visited to Ipoh before)
