Foh San Dim Sum [富山茶樓] (Ipoh)

If you are in Ipoh and wish to have some famous Dim Sum , Foh San Dim Sum (富山茶樓) is one of the place you can go. It was located HERE.





Foh San Dim Sum is always full of crowd and the building include 3 floors. Ground floor and 1st floor is for the normal customer and 2nd floor is for VIP function. This place normally packed with people no matter weekdays or weekends. There are hardly any available seats. If you want to dine here, you will need to stand next to the table to "book" it.



How about the food there?To be honest , i personally feel that the food there is normal.Not the best Dim Sum that i tried before. The good things about here is the environment and the building. The service here is another thing not my liking.
Lets look at the food here

One thing special about this shop is you can actually enjoy the Tau Fu Fah in your car.What you need to do is just stop your car infront of the shop , open the car window and order.They will send it for you to enjoy in your car.

Tau Fu Fah








Look at the Tau Fu Fah and Soya Bean Drink , how can i avoid myself to try this.?Its impossible.I believe that you will never regret once you try this.
I am luckily to be there on time as i am able to view how they move the Tau Fu Fah into the shop.They are still using the traditional way to move the Tau Fu Fah.

Rasa Timur Restaurant

Wan't to try some East Malaysian food..??Here is 1 of the place that you can pay a visit to try the Food.Rasa Timur Restaurant . This restaurant is located at Chulan Square , Kuala Lumpur . Near Pavilion.
Somewhere here





The environment is quite nice here.Quite a relax place for havinng meals. Lets have a look on the food provided there.

Nasi Lemak


I think this is quite common all around Malaysia.

Nasi Minyak


Nasi minyak is quite common too. Not really a original East Malaysia food.

Nasi Kari Ayam


This is also quite common. Buts this really taste nice here.

Nasi Dagang


According to 1 of my friends , this Nasi Dagang is the 1 come from Terengganu. Those i use to eat in Kelantan since i am small is a little bit different. The rice of Nasi Dagang from Kelantan is something red in colours and serve with some "inti". And for Nasi Dagang , it is best serve with fish curry.

Nasi Kerabu


This is something different. An original Kelantan's food. The rice was in blue colour and serve with some uncook vegetable , fish , dried coconut , budu (fish sause) , salted egg and Keropok. Those in Kelantan normally serve with "solok" too.
The Blue colour rise is made from a kind of flower, can't recall whats the name of the flower here. And there is actually 2 type of Nasi Kerabu in Kelantan, Malay Nasi Kerabu and Siam/Chinese Nasi Kerabu. The photo above is the Malay Nasi Kerabu and for Siam/Chinese Nasi Kerabu, we used to call it "Cow Jump" (sound like this from thai name, not really know the actual name) which the rice is green in colour.

Mee Jawa Asli


Asam Laksa


This is also different from Laksa from Kelantan. In Kelantan , we got Laksa and Laksam. And the soup is white in colour which made from fish.


Overall , i would say it's quite nice to have meals here. The price range is somewhere around RM 10 to RM 13 .

Assassin Bugs

Saw assassin bugs in Hutan Lipur Lentang, Port Dickson before. Assassin bugs (Castolus sp.) are killer insects that eat other bugs. They use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. Sometimes, when other food isn't available, assassin bugs even eat each other. The legs of some of these bugs are covered in tiny hairs that serve to make them sticky to hold onto their prey while they feed. The saliva is commonly effective at killing substantially larger prey than the bug itself. As nymphs, some species will cover and camouflage themselves with debris, or the remains of dead prey insects. Some species have been known to feed on cockroaches or bedbugs (in the case of the masked hunter) and are regarded in many locations as beneficial. Some people breed them as pets and for insect control.

Kingdom : Animalia

Phylum : Arthropoda

Class : Insecta

Order : Hemiptera

Suborder : Heteroptera

Superfamily : Cimicomorpha

Segari Turtle Hatchery

This is one of the place i visit when i am on my trip to Lumut.Its a nice place to visit and know more about turtle here.Its was actually located at Pasir Panjang beach.






The Pasir Panjang beach here used to be the favorite place for sea turtles to come and lay their eggs before going back to the sea. However, due to human intervention and pollution, there are not many occasion where one can see this happening.

In the effort to ensure the survival of these turtles, the government has taken the initiative to breed the green sea turtle here and released them to the sea. According to some source , turtles that visit this beach are the Green Turtle (Chelania mydas) and Olive Ridley (Epidochelys olivaecea). They land at any time during the year, but are said to be seen more during January to July. From the statistic , we actually can see the turtle which come visit here is decreasing from year to year.




The Segari Turtle Hatchery is actually devide onto two part.One of it is the visiting area where we can walk around to visit the turtle. Another area is the hatching area where we are not allowed to go in.
