Cheap Dim Sum In Kum Loong Taiping

It was only around 10am when we reached Kum Loong Food Shop (direct translation) from the photo here.....
It is actually a double shop lot selling dim sum only... when we were seated, we were told that most of the dim sum were sold out already, the waitress told us that not many choices were left....  I was really astonished...
no wonder the lady was sweeping the floor already...
(Can you see the customer putting up her legs?)
hahahaa.....
 I notice that the shop is more for "elderly people" like me...  lol...
Anyway, we sat there.... and see what they had to offer...
my friend and I didnt take much...
Just ordered a "Tai Pau" (Big dumpling)
some steamed dumplings and fish balls...
2 plates of steamed pork ribs
plus one plate of chicken with vegetables (not shown here)
We were recommended to eat this... 
Oh, I forgot the name but it seems they only do this once a week..
It was very large actually...
something like "sang yuk" pau..
with minced meat and a piece of egg as fillings..
 since I never seen this in Ipoh before, we ordered one and try...
It was not bad... neither it was very good...  hahahaa...
Well, nothing much to shout about in this shop...
but I do notice that many people came by to take away 
rather than sitting here to eat....
maybe because there is no air-con.....
Morning breakfast was a so-so...
I do not know their individual prices...
and the price including the above came to 
only RM17...something... 
So Cheap!!

  3. You must have gone there yesterday cos the kai woh pau (the one which you can't tell its name) is only available on Sundays. Coincidentally, I bought the same pau yesterday but I went there much earlier, around 7 a.m. The kai woh pau is sold at RM6 to RM7 in Sri Petaling so this one is really cheap. Kum Loong sells the usual stuff every day namely loh mai kai, paus, morsels etc. At 5 p.m. daily, chicken pie (kai soh), siew pau and kaya kok will be delivered fresh from the kitchen. Egg tart, chin tui and nam yue sou (fermented beancurd puff) are sold on Sunday morning only (usually sold out by 7.30 a.m.)

  6. Claire, Kum Loong dim sum is very famous during the olden days...My grandfather like to go there yum char. For me, their dim sum is so so only. We usually da pao their famous "Tai Pao". Kum Loong have great tea time snack like kaya puff and also kai sou = bbq pork pie with crumble on top. If you come here next time, I can reserved for you in advance first.
