Situated in Greentown business square, in the newer complex of building opposite David's diner and opposite MP restaurant is this new halal dimsum joint. Just beside the road, in the same row as Berlitz and Chatime, this place is packed during lunch hour.
The main attraction of the restaurant is dimsum. Expect the normal siumai and hagao (meat dumpling and prawn dumpling) to be there in the menu. However, do not expect the slightly more complicated ones such siulongbao (soup dumpling). The main question is how does it taste since now one ingredient is less and probably substituted with chicken (my assumption) instead? Actually the siumai and hagao is not bad. One would not miss the non-halal version here. However, since there are so many good dimsum place around, and Ipoh is basically famous for good dimsum as well, the dimsum here is rather OK. Not to say the dimsum is below average, in fact it is quite good. Just that there are many execellent dimsum shop around. Beside the staple dimsum which seems to be on all the tables, expect the normal dish fare such as fried noodle or fried rice. The claypot rice was a bit bland, and probably not their forte. The tomyam fried rice which I ordered was average since I prefer my tomyam fried rice to be spicy hot which this version is on the milder side.
The lunch is courtesy of one of my officer so I am not sure how much do it cost. Expect the normal price of RM3-5 per dimsum and RM5-10 for the usual rice/ noodle dish. The service is fair in view of the packed restaurant. Do not expect the fine dining decoration or environment here as this place is not trying to be pretentious. It rather mimic the simple dimsum restaurant, no deco, come eat, chat and leave concept. Overall, the fact that this is a halal dimsum restaurant is a plus point. Dimsum to dimsum comparison, there are definitely better choice, but this is the place to enjoy simple dimsum with Muslim friends.ratings: 3 poink!
