When you say about Ipoh, some recommend Ipoh hor fun, Ipoh chicken rice, Ipoh white coffee and also, Ipoh dim sum. I tried Ipoh dim sum at Foh San Dim Sum place for several times and frankly, I did not like it. I don't understand why people still flock to that place even though I feel that dim sum at other places like Klang tastes way better than that.
This time, I tried to google for the best and recommended dim sum place in Ipoh. Quite a number of people recommended Zui Le Xuan Dim Sum so, I told myself to give it a try. We reached there about 11.30am, thanks to the heavy traffic jam which got me stuck for like 3.5 hours on the road. The place was not busy at all and I was a bit hesitated whether should I try the dim sum or not.
Nevertheless, we still proceed to try out some of their dim sums. I ordered a few of their signatures dishes - some were good but some were not.
Lui Sar Pao
It is good in fact but I find that the charcoal bread is a bit too dry on that day, causing it to be hard instead of soft. It could be better if they use a fresh bread to make this. Nonetheless, it is worth to try at your first visit there.
Stuffed Chee Cheong Fun
This caught my attention actually. Usually, we have either char siew chee cheong fun or prawn chee cheong fun. But in Zui Le Xuan, they offer this dish in a different manner. Personally, I like it even though the serving is really, really small. As for the skin, I am not sure whether it is related to the freshness of it or not. It tears before we can even take it up.

Fried Raddish Cake
Pardon the blur-ness here. This dish would be delicious if it is being served hot. Nevertheless, it is still edible in a way, thanks to the crunchy bean sprouts.
Fried Sesame Ball with Lotus
Aww..This is my favorite! Will always order this regardless which dim sum place I go to. Usually, you will only get lotus inside of this sesame ball but for this place, it comes with lotus plus peanut, giving the whole feeling of soft for the outside and crunchy in the inside.
Steamed Fish Ball
I will have to give some credits to this; even my sister agreed with me that the fishballs taste good. It gives the springy and the bouncy feel when you chew it in your mouth.
Doink, doink and Doinkkk
Other dim sum that we ordered on that day are siew mai, pork roll, vege siew mai, har kau and etc - I didn't highlight them at all because they are just so-so only as compared to the other well-deserved dim sum place.
Our bill came up to RM 57.15 for a total of 14 kinds of dim sum plus a teapot for 5 pax.
Verdict: I would recommend you all to try at least their Lau Sar Pao, Steamed Fish Ball, Stuffed Chee Cheong Fun, Fried Raddish Cake and Fried Sesame Ball with Lotus for the first time. Other dishes, you may give it a try if you want to otherwise, you can just continue filling your stomach elsewhere then.
