Ipoh Dim Sum Fight - FuShan versus MingCourt

It had been days since I updated my blog. Well, actually, these few days, I wanted to update; yet, my lazy behaviour seemed to be in control! Until today, I had the urge to update my blog^^. Again, may I remind you all that I am having a super long holiday! What can I do?! Hmmmm, eating all the way in Ipoh loh(^o^). This time, the battle was on for FuShan and MingCourt(富山和明阁)! Two of the most famous Dim Sum Restaurants in Ipoh!

food and wine
Yup, I even have time to make this!><


food and wine
Okay, let's talk about FuShan first. Why? Because FuShan reopened its restaurant just a while ago! Yes, just opposite MingCourt! That is totally a direct fight ~~~Anyway, the new FuShan draws a lot of customers! A lot!!!!!!!!!! It was spacious inside; but, still abundant with customers. Sunday morning, my whole family had to wait so long for a small table(more than 30 mins!)! Haiz, however, I have to say that the decor was quite nice.

food and wine
Then, finally, we "fought" ourselves a table. As you can see, FuShan has its own custome-made chopsticks, teapot, plates and etc! The first orders were 猪肠粉 a.k.a pork-??? mee(haha, direct imperfect translation) and 糯米鸡 a.k.a glutinous rice chicken (this sounds better^^). They were just okay only!

food and wine
Of course, we did not just stopped there. Then, came along some dim sums. Due to the overwhelming of crowd there, there was not a lot of delicacies available. My bro even went out there and tried to find some. But, his attempts started to fail on the 3rd round! Haha!!! Above were what we tried that day. (The bill wasn't cheap too~~~~)

For FuShan, here are some of the nicer dishes!
food and wine

First, my favourite egg tart. (It was really tasty!) Then, the dough cake, 1st time taste it! Finally, my 烧卖 a.k.a steam....(I also don't have to translate, google the word if you don't understand!)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Then, after a week or so, my family had another visit to another Dim Sum Restaurant - MingCourt. Personally, I prefer MingCourt; but, some say that FuShan's food tastes better~~~Well, it depends, right! Go try yourself(^o^)!
food and wine
When we got there, it was rather obvious that its business was affected by FuShan reopen. (FuShan really attract a lot of people lah!). But, it was an ease to eat there! Haha, less people stare at you when you eat^^! Its glutinous rice chicken a.k.a 糯米鸡 simply was the best !!!! Yes, better than FuShan ;p....The fishballs were also better than FuShan^^.haha!!!

As for MingCourt, the unique dishes are....
food and wine
Mochi!!!Haha, I can't even see them in FuShan~~~~~~~

Yes, the battle has ended! Who wins? To me, it was MingCourt! However, it depends on you! Go try them and you decide^^!

Tenji Japanese Buffet !!!! おいしです!!!![Oishi]

After not feeling well for a few days, I think it is time to update!!! Haiz, currently, my biological clock totally hay-wires. Anyway, this time again, I am gonna share an old story with you all! Yes, with me having holidays right now, i can really tantalize my taste buds^^ Right after my Cambodia trip, I went to Tenji along with my sis and 2 housemates for Peichek's early birthday celebration.


food and wine
Around 10 am, we drove to Solaris Mont Kiara. Anyway, despite several "road obstacles", we managed to make it there quite fast! I have to say that the area there is really high-class!!! With luxurious condominiums, extravagant restaurants,... in that area, I am pretty sure that it is not easy to maintain my life there unless I am rich rich rich...haha, anyway, we parked our car under the basement...Well, the parking fee was rather cheap, about RM 2.00 for the 1st 3 hours .....In order to save, we decided to go there during weekdays and had lunch there under the promotion period for Parents Day. It was around RM 48.00 per head [inclusive of tax] - normal price was RM 77 ++ [exclusive of tax] for lunch while the dinner there costs around RM 88 ++ [exclusive of tax]


Here comes The Menu of The Day

food and wine
Actually, Japanese Buffet usually offers a wide range of food from Western Cuisine to Chinese Tradition dishes apart from the normal Japanese food like sushi. Not kidding, you can really taste a huge range of food till you drop! Plus, you can even order certain dishes ^^.

food and wine
Of course, after having all the dishes there, it was time for us to taste some desserts. Greedy me took all the cakes there. This did not end good for us...haha, lesson: don't be greedy><. Then, Tenji also serves Haagen-Dazs Ice-cream; yet, there were only 8 flavours. However, the chocolate foundation really did create some buzzs for us^^ After 3 hours of lunch, we were really fullllllllllllllllll!!!!!! I would describe this lunch as:

Delicious !!!! おいしです !!!!
[haha, currently, learning basic Japanese]

By comparing with Jogoya[link for my previous post],
  • Jogoya has more alcohols while Tenji has more tea [flower tea to green tea]
  • Jogoya has more flavours of ice-cream while Tenji has only 8 flavours.
  • Jogoya's internal service not that good because last time, my friend called to book a table, there was no place left according to the staffs there. After 1 min, when I called, the staff said that as many people also can@@
  • Both also have the same buffet price.
However, I have to say that Tenji's oyster was lot more bigger! It took me 4 bites to finish it^^
