It’s that time of the year again - the Zhang (rice dumpling) Festival also known as the Dragon Boat Festival or DuanWu Jie (the Double 5 Festival as it falls in the 5th Day of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar). If anyone is interested in knowing more about the festival, just click [...]
Now who should I blame it on? Well, if there’s anyone to blame, it has got to be *points accusing finger…Pete! LOL!!! He put up a post on how he was going to cook ching-ching (plain) kway teow (flat rice noodles) soup over the weekend…and that made me miss the kway teow th’ng that I [...]
There is a little shop just round the corner from my house, probably just a couple of hundred metres away, that sells fresh meat, fish and vegetables in the morning and fruits and all kinds of other stuff the rest of the day. In a way, it is a sort of mini-market and I do [...]
When I was young, I always had kampua noodles that were white and I really do not know when or how it came about that we now have the black version where they use dark soy sauce instead of the lighter-coloured chio-cheng (light soy sauce). Perhaps you can put it down as a case of [...]
I’ve loved these cupcakes for a long time… They’re from the bakery across the road from the school where I was teaching before I retired and I used to buy them quite regularly whenever I happened to be passing by the shop. They’ve always been sold in packs of two and one pair cost RM1.50 [...]
I came a number of times to this restaurant… …in the morning for the dim sum but I had never been here at night. I knew they were running some kind of restaurant business in the evenings and lately, they are also having shabu-shabu (steamboat) if that is your preference. Well, I was invited to [...]
There’s this new place in town… …the Thai Chicken Rice, located in the block of shophouses somewhere across the road from the Sibu Public Library (where the Bank Pertanian office formerly was). My missus and I dropped by for lunch on Sunday and the place was crowded – business was very good, to say the [...]
I’ve long wanted to try the ayam penyet (crushed/smashed chicken) at this place in Bandong here where I buy my nasi lemak and all the Malay kuihs in the morning but I never had the chance to do so. Finally, last Saturday evening, I decided to drive past the area to see what they had…and to [...]
This restaurant has moved. It used to be around the commercial centre in the vicinity of the Sibu Bus Terminal and people used to crowd there to eat the crabs, among many other dishes. Everyone seemed to like it so much, praising it to the skies but I did not think the food was great [...]
I always qualify my food reviews saying that I may like something but somebody may think otherwise. On the other hand, you may praise something to the skies but I may not be that impressed by it. Well, I am sure all of you would remember my post a couple of days ago on the [...]
