3 Simple & effective steps to grab a table @ any Ipoh Dim Sum shop

Ipoh is a food heaven! Almost everyone will agree with me, don't you? Every weekends or public holiday, you will see people flock into this little town. The sudden of tourist influx brings really good business to those who runs food & beverages business. When the demand is higher than supply, it  brings another problem "we got to queue to for food" !!


At around 7am, we reached Ipoh. We were all very hungry! Desperate for Dim Sum, we quickly head to Ming Court where it serve my favourite "Har Gao and Siew Mai"

Nightmare !! There is lots of people !!

Everyone is rushing to get inside. The worst part is there is no queuing system OMG! how can it be!


So ladies & gentlemen please pay attention carefully to my tips.

1. Eagle eye view 

 Do an eagle eye scouting view to look out for your potential prey! 

In this context prey meant (a) people who had just about to finish their meal 

or 

(b) A table that had not been targeted.

2. Team positioning 

Send out your accomplices to those targeted prey! 

Before that, split your accomplices into groups, each targeting at different prey. 

Team leader must make sure they keep an watchful against trespasser! 

Trust me, they can be super sneaky at time. 

3. Kicking out your competitor !

You cannot afford to be soft hearted at any moment. 

Watch for any person who try to approach near to your table. 

They always try their luck to pretend that is it their table.  

You got to tell them "This is mine ar...waited very long liao"

"If you no say and they no hear, your tummy gg liao" 

4. Staring like you are projecting an optic blast ! 

By staring you signal them to eat faster, to move faster literally telling them to get lost xD
