Last night, I went to a birthday gathering and the food was from the Sweet Family Restaurant at the Sibu Bus Station commercial area (Jaya Li Hua). I have featured this food outlet twice before – here and here.
It being a birthday, we had fried mee sua (thread/string noodles)…
…but from my personal point of view, I think Ruby Restaurant does it better, and we also had butter fish fillet which was not bad…
…and the house specialty – Philippine pork leg which I had the last time I ate there…
…and here, you can see my friend, Jimmy, from Bintulu, carving the trotter into manageable pieces…
Oops! You forgot to breathe in, Jimmy! LOL!!
We also had some fried baby kai lan, sea cucumber soup and fruits for dessert. I could not stay too long as I had to rush home just in case the flood waters rose again…and thankfully, nothing of the sort happened!

Wow
Happy new year, guess a little bit late.
Do not worry, even though it rains every day, the volume of water is not so much.
Not as heavy as those in December and the water level at Rejang River is way below the danger level
Thank goodness for that! I saw in today’s papers that downriver, Sarikei is also flooded… A Happy New Year to you too!

Passed by this restaurant a lot but I don’t think I’ve eaten there before. Would like to try sometimes.
How’s flood situation in Sibu? Today the water level of the river has gone down, and the sun has come out, finally!
I’m sure you have. Used to be at the corner…the shops in Pedada near your house, right below the bridal salon! Quite sunny here, slight drizzle at times…water only in the roadside drains – my area, Nang Sang area – I dunno!

Went there two Saturdays ago after reading your earlier posts – only to find out that it was the restaurant that we frequent! We only knew the Chinese name,全家福 (literally translated as Whole Family Blessings)!
Hmm…. your blog is now my food guide!

the philippine pork leg looks like german pork knuckle!
As Shakespeare would say, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Pork leg, pork knuckle, pork trotters…all the same. I love the German ones too…..
