Ahahahaha sorry for the title, I'm feeling very sarky now since I'm off on Friday.
You see, sometime back, my SIL in Ipoh got us some dai bao (big bao) and one bagfull of yue tarn (fishballs). I'm not sure where the heck she got them in Ipoh but both the dai bao and yue tarn tasted darn good and they're huge (check them out next to a Chinese soup spoon)! The yue tarn taste and smell fresh even after a few days sitting in the fridge. Best of all it really contained fish meat instead of flour fillers and yet maintain its bounciness.
Those were how dai bao and yue tarn supposed to taste and look like originally. It's so hard to find dai bao that have proper filling of sliced pork, one piece of chicken, quartered hard boiled egg, reasonably sized chunks of turnips and a slice of char siu (BBQ pork) in one especially in Kuala Lumpur. Most of the time the dai bao would just have a lump of fatty minced meat inside with the egg and nothing else. This is not a dai bao!!!!
Can someone please tell me where to find a real dai bao in Kuala Lumpur or perhaps Klang Valley??? Thanks in advance.
As to where to find this in Ipoh, Jason or Paprika, any idea???

Tai pau and yue tarn are integral to dim sum offerings of any famous dim sum restaurant in Ipoh. The most famous being: Foh san, Ming Court, Yoke Fuk Mun(forgot spelling ;P).

But the best tai pau I've had has got to be the stall in Menglembu pasar. Very juicy. Alamak, my saliva coming out!

Penang Dai Pau and Ipoh Dai Pau is so much different. Just can't tell what's the different, but I guess Ipoh one is better... cuz, some how Ipoh Dim Sum is better than Penang one... or am being bias?
ReplyDeletethe fishballs can easily get from most dimsum outlets. its BIG, yummy, juicy and bouncy cz they charge at RM1.40 per pc (at FohSan, i think). hehe... as for BIG pau, there are a few in Ipoh, namely Langkap Pau (various branches in Bercham, Menglembu etc), and few others from smaller shops/stalls that i know of.
ReplyDeletenormally whn i 'met' this kind of bao skin and i choose not to eat it.. cos it look ugly!! hahax! aww love bao wif egggggggggggggg
ReplyDeleteI believe there are some really HUGE tai pau in Cheras. I know a few places who sells them. But tai pau isn't really that good, considering the pau skin is soooo thick !
ReplyDeleteThe fishballs can easily get from any dim sum restaurants in Ipoh (that's the reason I only like fishballs from dim sum place!)
ReplyDeleteAs for Tai Pau, I think dim sum places also serves similar version but I remembered I saw they are also being sold in pasar malam.
NKOTB, seriously i wont know cos never eaten Penang baos before
