Dad said leaving house around 630.. To get myself ready so that I won’t get myself in a rush, I woke up around 5.45.. Took bath and had my sweet time drying my hair and styling it. Dad told me to drive. Coolness!! If I sleep, surely it will mess up my hair.. Went off around 6.40.. I didn’t cause the late.. Someone else… It took us about 1 hour 10 minutes to reach Bidor.. Dropped grandma there to visit her sister-in-law.. We chit-chatted a while and we said goodbye and left for another 40 minutes drive to Ipoh..
We went to the wet market in Bidor town to get the famous Apom.. It was 70 cents per piece and I think it was something different.. I enjoyed eating that .. The indian auntie was friendly too .. Finding your way to the market, just spot PUN CHUN restaurant, it’s opposite the restaurant.. Or try using the GPS coordinates below :

This time!! I used my GPS.. And listen attentively so that I don’t miss the turn going into Ipoh to have Dim Sum breakfast at Foh San.. they gonna kill me had I missed it.. We reached there around 10 and it was such a nice building.. The interior design was a blend of contemporary and culture of the olden days .. They now utilized POS terminals at ground floor and first floor both with 2 terminals.. The husband and wife boss were now just walking around helping out and talking with the customers. Very good PR though..
They are now running on self-service style.. Foh San is closed on Tuesdays except public holidays. If you are going on a public holiday like I do today (Malaysia’s Independence Day), you would need to wait patiently.. I would suggest them to have numbering system for customers or any sort of queue.. first come first serve basis. Here’s the address and GPS coordinates in case anyone of you needs it

Had the famous red bean / green bean blended and the yong tau fu.. After that went to Tambun to get biscuits then buy the salted chicken from the town..
Around 3pm, we went back to Bidor to pick up grandma then went back home. Reached home around 6pm and it was quite jammed up at Kepong area after a heavy downpour earlier.. For dinner, mom was too tired to cook and I was too lazy to help out.. So we went out for dinner nearby.. Went home and started unpacking our mooncakes.. Tada !!!!
Happy 53rd Merdeka, Malaysia!!
LOL, lucky your ears were working. Foh San nice or not?
To be honest.. nothing special compared to my last visit.. better environment of course love it.. But food wise the standard I would say is maintained.. Nothing like too great xD
