That night, when Cibol and his missus, Lily, were in town, we went out for dinner together and since Lily wanted rice and dishes, I had to bring them to where else but here. We did not have the specialty of the house though – their braised pork with mantao (steamed buns)…but we did see [...]
It certainly was a pleasant surprise when I received an sms from my long-time blogger friend, Cibol, last Saturday morning telling me that he and his missus would be driving to town for the weekend. He was the one who got me started in this blogging thing way back in 2008…and I had not met [...]
I had something slippery for dinner that night – ikan keli (catfish)… …when Huai Bin and I went to the Payung Cafe here in Sibu (See previous post). They call it the Payung Fish Rice in their menu… …and it is actually ikan keli cooked with lots of ginger and black beans and everything else, [...]
I went here… …for dinner one night with Huai Bin when he was in town. They’ve extended the sitting area out a little bit and they have put up some new decor – the umbrellas all the way from Myamar… …and you can see that they use all kinds of things such as fish traps, [...]

This is new at this place in Sibu – their double chocolate mille crepe (RM8.80 a slice)… They launched the sale of this new item on the menu last Friday and it sold like hot cakes and by the time I dropped by with Huai Bin at around 1.30 p.m. or so, it was already [...]
It certainly was a pleasant surprise when I received a text message from Huai Bin telling me that he was back in town (considering that he was home not too long ago for Chinese New Year) and he suggested that we met for lunch. Everything was agreed upon and there we were on the stipulated [...]
Sometime last week, I whipped up a plate of cincaluk (fermented shrimps) fried rice for breakfast and posted a photograph of it on Facebook. That triggered a wave of cravings for fried rice and everyone made up their minds to cook that during the coming weekend…or in the case of Shereen in Auckland, New Zealand, [...]
I went out for tea one afternoon with Lawrence, one of the debaters in the school team under my charge and guidance during those years when I was still teaching and actively involved in such activities. He had not tried the burger at this place so we made our way there. Of course, he had THE [...]
