volcano in Ipoh

Papa zoomed into Ipoh on Monday and in between things, decided to have lunch. Chicken rice in Ipoh, an old-timer shop, how to go wrong? Well Papa was wrong! Papa had to order an extra glass of chinese tea upon the second bite. So, we won't mention the name of the shop

Too much, much too much MSG. Three hours later Papa still couldn't shake off the effects of the MSG, Papa had to pull off the road on the way back. Papa got crossed-eyed, watching the wipers flicking across the screen instead of watching the road. Rain was heavy heavy, Papa couldn't see anything. MSG overload on a cold rainy evening.

So. On Wednesday morning, Papa was in Ipoh again. Not being the type of person who learns from his mistakes , Papa decided to try another old establishment. And Papa decided to have dim-sum, which comes with a risk of MSG. No less than at the volcano of Ipoh, Fohsan ....

Now in a spanking new building (which opened just last month).

Short verdict: Actually, pretty good. New dim sum recipes (new to Papa at least). and surprise! Very little MSG.
