Fulin Dim Sum 富臨閣点心

 Fulin Dim Sum is just a stone throw away from my residence during my stay in Ipoh. Even though it was located in a quiet and non touristy place, I will consider them as a hidden gem. There is a steamer placed in front of the restaurant and it facilitates the customers who want to do take away.

It caught me by surprise that a standard Dim Sum place has such quality Steamed Prawn Dumplings. The prawns were plump, fresh and succulent topped with roes, black fungus as well as a slice of beautifully cut carrot.

Unlike the prawn Siew Mai, the original Siew Mai comes in a serving of 4. I can confidently said that these Siew Mai were better than most of the coffeeshops Dim Sum Siew Mai we had back in Singapore. The meat was springy with the right portions of lean and fatty meat. Best of all, it was not on an oily side too.
