My daughter is on her 2-week Easter break right now but unfortunately, it’s coming to an end and she and her friends will have to go back to class next week. She did not go anywhere even though I kept telling her to but she did do a lot of things with her friends and [...]
Not too long ago, I had a post on Kate’s pulut panggang and everyone started talking about the ones with sambal filling inside. I’m not really into those, as from my point of view, whether it is nice or not would depend on the filling and not whether the pulut (glutinous rice) is lemak (rich [...]
This post would certainly get Annie-Q drooling and craving and longing to come back to Sibu. LOL!!! Well, actually, I stumbled by this place quite unintentionally. You see, I had gone to that part of town as I heard that they are selling kampua noodles here – I had dinner there on more than one [...]
You’ve got yours, I’ve got mine…and if you’re wondering what I’m talking about, you may remember that on my recent trip to Penang, there was all this hoo-haa especially among my cousins from Kuching over the beh teh sor or heong peah and tambun biscuits but one cousin in Melbourne, Australia said that she would [...]
Somebody told me once that the Kuching kolo mee around this area was nice so I went to this cafe at the Delta Commercial Centre here… …with my daughter but it was so bad that both of us could not finish it. Later, I found out that it was the coffee shop next door, not this [...]
I wouldn’t say that I hate cempedak – let’s just say that I do not like eating the fruit. I find it so hard to chew and when I try to swallow, it is kind of choking. I love boiling the seeds though and eating them even though at times, I don’t like the feeling [...]
This is the bigger version of the mihun (rice vermicilli) or what we call tua tiaw bee hoon… …and what I wanna know is whether this is what people call laksa and you can find it in a bowl of Penang assam laksa. *recycled pic* The Foochows call it hung ngang and it is usually [...]
It is actually white but after cooking, because of the soy sauce, it becomes black… I don’t know if you can get it elsewhere and I don’t even know whether this is quintessentially Foochow or not. All I know is that, you can buy it uncooked in packets and you will have to soak it [...]
In a recent post, I mentioned that the kampua noodle stall, the one that I grew up eating, had moved to the coffee shop behind the Sibu Polyclinic…and in my younger days, in that coffee shop named Kiaw Siong, there was a beef noodle stall as well. We called the kampua guy Ah Kow…and then when [...]
I mentioned in an earlier post that my godson/ex-student, Andrew and his wife, Michelle, came home from Christchurch, New Zealand for a few days and they were so nice as to invite me out and treat me to lunch while they were in town. We went to this newly-opened cafe at the Delta Mall which [...]
