Dian Sam House

I took Nancy and Sarah for breakfast at Dian Sam House at Taman Bukit Pasir. Although there are a number of dim sum restaurants in Batu Pahat, the newest being Ming Castle at Jalan Abu Bakar, this establishment is reputed to serve better dim sum. We went at about 8.30 am, which is a good time to go as it has limited tables.

The owner seems to have a passion for collecting curios and knick-knacks which he proudly displays on one wall.

The menu

It is definitely more comfortable eating there than in the more traditional 'Fu Kui Siang' restaurant at Jalan Mohd Akil.
