No. 63 in the world · November 2026
Foh San
No. 63The one to order
Har gow, char siu bao and the egg tarts
Ipoh is Malaysia's dim sum town, and Foh San, there since the 1950s, is where it starts.
Make it at home
Har gow (crystal shrimp dumplings)
1 hr 15 min · About 20 dumplings, 4 people. The dim sum test: a translucent, chewy wheat-starch wrapper around a snappy whole-shrimp filling. Hot water is the trick that makes the dough work.
