There is a dim sum restaurant in Ipoh and I would say that the taste of the dim sum from the restaurant is not bad and can really match the famous dim sum from Foh San and Ming Court. It is the Li Yuan Dim Sum Restaurant and the restaurant is located at the Ipoh Garden East area; opposite the Festive Walk and although the shop is small, it was full most of the time and at the time of my visit to the restaurant.

In my opinion, the owner decorated the shop like most of the coffee shop or small dim sum shop in Hong Kong. In fact, it doesn't looks much like dim sum restaurant except because of the arrangement of the bench and tables. One of the difference between Li Yuan Dim Sum Restaurant and Foh San Restaurant is that in Foh San Restaurant, you can actually ordered the dim sum whenever you see the trolley with the dim sum passes by, whereas here you need to pre-order the dim sum.
I liked the prawn dumpling or more commonly known as "har gow" in Cantonese, and to be honest it taste almost as good as the one I had at the Foh San Restaurant or Ming Court. It was way smaller compare to Foh San, but the size of the prawn dumpling is about the same as the one that I had from Ming Court. Other dim sum taste nice; but this post was originally intended to introduce the new boy of dim sum in the city of Ipoh.

Overall, the Li Yuan Dim Sum Restaurant gives an alternative choice to the people of Ipoh to have dim sum breakfast. For those outstation who happens to drop by Ipoh, they can also have dim sum at the Li Yuan Dim Sum Restaurant before proceeding their journey elsewhere since the shop is located just about ten minutes drive from highway.
