Today is first day of HariRayaAidilfitri holiday. While Muslims are celebrating their greatest festival, others are enjoying the weekend holiday. Ipoh, as one of the most population outflowing city, having many of those working outstation back in hometown. It also welcomes a lot of tourists that come for the Ipoh's tasty foods. Foh San Dim Sum Restaurant, the famous one in town is packed with crowd. Together with another few neighbouring dim sum restaurants, Leong Sin Nam Street is basically a large scale car park in this morning, vehicles are so difficult to move along the street that is full of cars & pedestrians.
Hi Ipohgal. Yes, old Foh San is so nostalgic that make us feel like still having dim sum in 1960's. :)

Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
Honestly, I still prefered the old Foh San - the ambience and the food then, compared to this new place.
