It was a reunion of sorts when I met up with some very very old friends of mine from the 60s for lunch that day. There was one from the UK, another from Australia and the rest came over from Kuching – all of whom I had not seen for a very long time. We [...]
It’s been a while since I featured anything from my regular Malay kuih stall at Bandong…but it does not mean that I have not been dropping by. In fact, I do stop by the place quite frequently in the morning on my way to my parents’ house to babysit my bedridden mum. The thing is [...]
You made me do it, smallkucing! You put up a post on egg tarts and I just had to go and have these… Oooo…what lovely Portuguese egg tarts these were! The pastry was so flaky that I just couldn’t help making a mess while eating them. Yum! Yum! LOL!!! Actually, the truth is that my [...]
I dropped by the Guardian outlet (the pharmacy) near my house to pick up some stuff the other day and then I stopped by the stationery store next door to browse around. Imagine my surprise when I saw two packets of these… …on the cashier’s counter, together with the complimentary chili dip. The last thing [...]
This is slowly becoming a major attraction here in Sibu – the burger (RM14.90) at this place with their own-made patties… Why? Because whoever comes to town, I would take them there and they would all agree with me that it is so much better than the ones you would get at the fast food [...]
A friend of mine shared this on Facebook the other day and I thought it was so beautiful – something that I myself would like to share with everyone here… When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. I remember one night in particular when [...]
I had an unexpected visitor the other day. His name is Ilya, a Dutchman residing in Kuala Lumpur. Hmmm…the only person I know (not personally, of course) whose name is closest to his would be Illya Kuryakin (David MaCullum), Napoleon Solo‘s (Robert Vaughn) sidekick on “The Man from U.N.C.L.E“…and the only Dutch people that I [...]
It was 1986 and I was doing a one-year in-service specialist course at the Language Institute at Lembah Pantai, KL, now called IBA (Institut Bahasa Antarabangsa) when my missus took leave from work and flew over to join me and we went on a holiday together at this place… I remember we joined a MAS [...]
Was it better than before? Unfortunately, no… My missus and I were in the vicinity and we decided to stop by this coffee shop where there used to be an old couple serving one of the best Sarawak laksa in town. However, subsequently, they decided to close shop to go and visit their children overseas [...]
I would give this two out of three… – the nasi goreng kampung or literally translated, the village fried rice. A couple of people told me that it was very nice so I just had to go back to this place… …to give it a try. The so-called special (RM4.00) was fried with ikan bilis (dried [...]
