Kinda sleepy after waking up early for the swim. Expecting a crowd at Fof San but surprisingly can still find table. It was around 8am
Something changed since the last time we have been here . Now self service already. Aiks ...self service dim sum???
Don't really like it coz eat Dim sum must be a relaxing experience mah. People come serve baru syok mah. *hmmm wondering if they charge service charge. Forgotten to look at the receipt*
nice nice fried brinjal.
Mamarazzi went and took some of this Prawns Siew Mai.
Some mushroom fishballs
Century eggs fishballs
Some Har kow
Got some of these funny looking pau....said it's "Kum something something " pau.
Peeled open...ooooo it's lau sar pau ya.
Mamarazzi was feeling rather weak and tummy was still not fully well....so ordered some porridge. Uiks...they don't have porridge in a bowl like most Dim Sum restuarant. Instead it came in big pot. Minimum order is for two persons.
Taste wise was nice enough.
Papa had two Char Siew Pau.
And some Chee Cheong Fun. Guess that day ate too much oily food so Papa did not feel well pulak in the afternoon.
Come out from the restaurant , retrieved a "Beef jerky" from the car windscreen. Adoi....#$%@ parking boy... Papa asked him whether have to put coupon or not he insisted no need....*grrrrrr*...now kena saman curse him lausai till bum bum cannot sit down!
I also love this "Kum something something " pau.
ReplyDeletehahahahahaha
DeleteI would prefer to be served instead of self service in a Dim Sum restaurant. Something must have happened that all their waiters fled!!
ReplyDeletetoo many people gua
DeleteOriginally all Siew mai had no prawns inside but now everywhere has prawns added inside except for Penang which still kept to its original recipe.
ReplyDeleteooo ya ka...like that it's like the sibu siao bee la...big big with meat
DeleteI love to eat dim sum!!! =]
ReplyDeleteya same here but occassionally la
DeletePapa did not feel well? Foh San dim sum no good lah like that! Too oily? Too much msg? Hmmm...better don't go next time.
ReplyDeletenot that la....been eating too much oily things lately
DeleteWah, I haven't had dim sum for a long time. Must go for some one of these days.
ReplyDeleteonce in awhile okay la dim sum
DeleteI loves dim sum, hehe..

DeleteHmm, their har kau, siew mai, char siew pau and the rest not bad lar... Should try some of their signature dishes like fried raddish cake, vege with cuttlefish, woo kok and dessert go for egg tarts.
ReplyDeleteTheir porridge taste wise is so so only. sometimes very watery.
DeleteSelf service pula tu, tsk tsk tsk. Then they shoudl reduce their dim sum price.
Deletethat morening not feeling well so tarak eat that much lo
DeleteAlot of nice food...

ReplyDeletei have never been to the old shop...only know about it when ppl blog about the new shop
Deletethough a much bigger place, still crowded and have to wait for tables.. best is to come with more people so that you can distribute the people and mark at every table, hahaha~~ :D
ReplyDeletecoz famous mah...many people come to eat here...holiday some more leh
Deletei am quite okay with that self-service thing lah, afterall with so many people, i'd rather quickly go take what i want at the counter, than have to wait for the waiters or waitresses - surely shortage of people one..
ReplyDeletenot that quickily leh coz at the counter have to q some more and how to carry for many baskets of dim sum....
Deletehahaha, siew mai, har kow, cha siew pao and cheong fun.. i had that also during my last visit.. guess these are the popular ones and also must-order?? :p
