A Traveller's Tale: A Windfall

on
One Sunday, Mau Wei wanted to treat us to some dim sum in Ipoh. Ipoh, the capital of Perak,by the way is a city less than an hour drive away from Taiping.Mau Wei had a windfall of one thousand Ringgit and had also wanted to treat Yen Yen and her hubby who were just back from Ireland to breakfast. But I was going to Penang on an assignment that day and I would have to report before six. Since dim sum would be in the morning, Mau Wei said there would be ample time. But I thought that would be rather inconvenient since Taiping is located between Ipoh in the South and Penang in the North and that would mean moving in opposite directions. Would you mind driving me to Penang then? I asked Mau Wei. She was and that was it. Soon, the four of us were in her car travelling along the North-South Expressway to Foh Sun, the Chinese coffee shop that offers mind-boggling dim sum. You'd have windfall even if you don't know it!

So many persons in this shop! Probably the cook is very good. You just know the good places or you discover them on the way?

It's a popular shop. You'd be lucky if you can get a seat. Most of the time, people have to wait. If you notice, there is a lady pushing a cart with all the goodies in it. There are many such carts and I think it is like some of the traditional dim sum shops in Hong Kong.The people here like to eat and some people know all the good eating places and drive miles just to try some food out. In this case, my friend knows the good places; I just tag along.
