Recently, somebody sent me an sms telling me that he would be coming to Sibu later this month and asking me what he could do here. Well, I replied, “Eat, eat, eat…and eat!” Indeed, there are so many things here for gourmets/gluttons (*Delete as applicable) to enjoy.
Upon arrival in the morning, you can go for the typical Foochow specialties such as kampua, tian mian ngu, Foochow fried noodles-wet (with gravy, that is!) or mee sua in chicken (You can opt for the black variety!) soup cooked with ang chiew (red wine) and so on and so forth. For lunch, you can head to Ruby where they have all kinds of delicious choices to offer. A number have been featured in other blogs, for instance bongkersz or cibol’s, but other than those, you may want to try the Honey Pork Ribs…
…or you may prefer the calamari with mayonnaise…
Gosh! My daughter’s going to kill me when she sees this post; these are two of her favourites. And don’t forget the special Blended Iced Kopi-O!! That’s something not to be missed!
Later, for tea, perhaps you would like a Bak Chang (meat dumpling) with salted duck egg (I wish they had double egg yolks as in those mooncakes!)…
or maybe you would prefer some Foochow delicacies such as kompia or mang-nging (what Gundot calls “lampah kueh” because of its shape)…
Dinnertime, you can have some western cuisine for a change. There is a hotel here where the coffee house serves both local (including umai, the Melanau raw-fish) and western dishes such as this plate of Fish & Chips for only RM11…
or perhaps you would rather go for Grilled Lamb Chops instead for only RM14…
Oops!!! Wrong pic! I got this one from Gundot…and I guess she got it from some fella in Kuala Penyu;actual source unknown! Now, let’s try again!…..
Yup! That’s the one! After having gorged yourself on all that, anyone care for supper…??? Hahahahaha!!!
And that is just the first day! If you are staying for a few days, rest assured that you will eventually become a worthy successor to yours truly…SUITUAPUI!!! LOL!!! Welcome to Sibu!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
