Wordless Wednesday – Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum @ Ipoh

Lau Sar Bao

Revealing the flowing golden elixir from within; the “Lau Sar Bao” of Yoke Fook Moon may not be the absolute best in town, but at least their trademark fluffy ‘pau’ dough that does not stick in between teeth is a winner

I hope you’re not reeling from the revelation that was before today’s post. So I will spare you the melodrama and pepper today’s story with marginally-minimal rants and grandfather’s tales; and instead delight you with shots of morning dim sum at Yoke Fook Moon Restaurant in Ipoh; one of the top 3 most popular dim sum establishments in my hometown.

Well, okay. So this is arguable given the rising stars threatening the usual suspects (Foh San and Ming Court) perched confidently atop the ranks of the legends for years, but Yoke Fook Moon being along the same road and standing their ground for decades now has to mean something.

Happy Wednesday dear readers, and here are shots of what I had in Ipoh a few weeks back. 

Yoke Fook Moon Morning Crowd

No kidding, try come after 10 am on a Sunday and you risk tearing your hair out or biting into someone’s Siew Mai while eyeing desperately for a seat. 

Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum

“Sang Chow Lor Mai Fan” (fried glutinous rice with BBQ pork, green peas and mushrooms), Sweet and Sour Rolls, Cheese Fish Balls and Baked BBQ Pork Buns are some of the newer creations at Yoke Fook Moon; yet familiar enough for one who’s been eating and breathing dim sum in the Klang Valley.

Serving Up Dim Sum

Collage Ipoh Dim Sum

How to resist over-ordering dim sum when you’re spoilt for choice? These are only a fraction of what Yoke Fook Moon offers, thus opening up opportunities for more dim sum binge sessions. 

Waiting Eagerly

Many restaurants have done away with dim sum trolleys/push carts; owing to the limited space and routinely packed crowd in the mornings. However, all is not lost when the ladies would carry over tray loads of dim sum for your choosing pleasure. And most of these are fresh from the kitchen; and rarely left overs.

Char Siew Bao

And never ever forget to order their Char Siew Bao (steamed BBQ pork bun) here. Simply one of the best in Ipoh. At least, that’s what I was told. Anyone else begs to differ?

Peanut Soup

 

“Fah Sang Woo” aka creamy sweet peanut gruel; a beautifully nutty, decadent and warm finish to the meal. Unusual to see Tong Sui for breakfast? Welcome to Ipoh.

*For more information, hop over to the previous review on Yoke Fook Moon. And this is one of the very few dim sum restaurants that operate after dark. Try coming for dinner if you want to avoid the breakfast crowd.

    The dim sum over yoke fok mun is not nice and quite over price. It is too salty and quite flat taste too. The service is also not good.
