Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Déjà vu…

It was certainly like some kind of a déjà vu considering that we had lunch here in December last year before my daughter left for New Zealand and I took a photo of her then… *recycled pic* …and the other day, we went there again and like on our previous visit, this time around, I [...]

Different from the rest…

Most Sibuians, coming home from abroad or even from the peninsula, would head straight to the nearest kampua stall to have their fix…but not my daughter. She has never been a fan of the noodles but she does have a soft spot for the kolo mee in Kuching and also the Sarawak laksa. She already [...]

Keep on trying…

My daughter first tried the Uncle Miki’s Japanese baked cheesecake a number of years ago when we were on holiday in Singapore. They had a stall at the entrance of Cold Storage (Centrepoint) and I bought one back to the hotel. She loved it and after that time, I bought it again once at their [...]

What’s cooking…

Gosh! It’s Saturday again…and it has been two Saturdays already since the Saturday when Melissa flew back to Malaysia from Wellington via Auckland. How time flies! Well, before she and I flew back to Sibu the following day – Sunday, the mother had cooked some chicken curry for her to enjoy when she got home, [...]

Three days in a row…

On her third day back in Sibu, Melissa wanted to go for the sambal char kway teow (RM3.80) at Kopitiam Fantasy. While in New Zealand, she had seen it in one of my posts and had been dying to give it a try… Well, she was not disappointed and found it to be very nice [...]

The second day…

My daughter and I did not go out for breakfast on her second day home as I had to attend the farewell assembly in honour of my ex-principal but we did go out for lunch. We went to that bak kut teh place at Kampung Datu here and she had the bak kut teh noodles [...]

The first day…

The first day Melissa was home in Sibu, she had roti canai and murtabak for breakfast… *Recycled pic* …from that stall at Bandong that I frequent quite regularly. By the way, the guy said that he would be going back to Penang with his family for the school holidays and would resume business in January, [...]

Fit for a king…

The night my daughter was to arrive from New Zealand – Saturday, 13th November, 2010, Mandy, my very dear friend from our years on national radio, picked me up at the hotel in KL and drove me all the way to check in at the Concorde Inn KLIA. Zee, another dear friend from the “radio [...]

Seeing double…

I spent one night in KL proper before my daughter arrived from New Zealand…and I stayed at the same hotel where I had always stayed on my last few trips. For one thing, it is the cheapest among the better hotels in the vicinity of Bukit Bintang in KL…and is much better than some of [...]

What you gave me…

When I met up with my blogger-friends for dinner in KL, it was like there was some kind of barter trade going on. I brought along some kompia, terbaloi (sago biscuits) and keropok (prawn crackers) from Mukah, terung dayak (Iban/sour brinjal), Sarawak laksa and masak hitam paste and souvenir t-shirts for the kids. Cynthia gave [...]
