Not too long ago, I went east to Sandakan/KK…and then I headed west to Kuching/Lundu. A few weeks ago, I flew west again to Penang/Sungai Petani…and today I am going east to KK. I will be giving a talk to students the whole day Saturday and in the evening, I will be attending Kpenyu’s grand birthday bash! Drool!!! While I am there, I do hope to get the opportunity to meet some of the bloggers there – Melbie, Man-D and Archie (who, for some reason, seems to be avoiding me! Don’t worry! I’m a gentle giant! LOL!!), for instance.
Sabah! The sun and the clear blue sea! Perhaps some of you are already imagining me walking on the beach (at Kuala Penyu?) with just a towel wrapped around me going for a swim…

and getting excited, full of suspense and great expectations…

Don’t worry…just be patient! All will be revealed soon enough!…

…There! Do you think that rubber duckie float will be able to keep me from drowning?…Huh? What did you all expect that was? What were you thinking? ROTFLMAO!!!!
Well, jokes aside…there will not be any post for the next few days until I come back on Sunday and hopefully, I will not be too tired to update you all on the highlights of the trip. But before I leave, this is in response to auntielucia‘s question as to what kampua is…
I went to this Mei Le coffee shop (at the Delta Commercial Centre near my house) that I have featured before, for the kampua which Andrew said I should try…and Clare said that they use fried garlic oil or something. This is the stall…
…and do you notice how clean the place is? I am very proud to say that most of the coffee shops in Sibu are very clean, unlike those in some of the towns that I have visited recently. Well, kampua is just a kind of local-made noodles tossed in oil (that they used to fry the onions, and at some places, they use lard) light soy sauce and msg, garnished with the fried onions (and in this shop, garlic) and chopped spring onions…and this is what the kampua (with pian sip aka kiaw or wantan) in this particular outlet looks like…
What did I think of it?…I didn’t think it was that great compared to a few other places but it should be fine if you’re too lazy to hunt around for alternatives. Well, Mak Cik, that is kampua…and in fact, I’ve posted photographs of the noodles at various places in the town (maybe with slight variations here and there) in my previous posts. You can browse through them in my archives over the next few days while I am away! LOL!!!
Wish me bon voyage and a supertanker fabulous time in KK, everybody! Take care!

Have a safe journey to KK and enjoy the clear blue sea. Huahuahua, will u be exactly like the cartoon images? I will be missing your humorous blog for days lol.
Thanks, anita. Will be back day after tomorrow. Not going to be a long trip.
No the man doesn’t use fried garlic oil, he puts a little bit of raw garlic into the kampua. It is ok if you are lazy to drive far. Eh, how about the coffee shop behind Sibu Kidney Foundation there? Close down boi?
Didn’t see any raw garlic. The kidney one is still going strong and still very nice!!! I still go quite regularly!
kk? again? going to gimmie a call o not?
U stay in uni never come out one…but anyway my programme is quite tight. Not really a pleasure trip…WORK!!!
Ha Ha, nice cartoons. Have a nice trip!

Well, two out of three ain’t bad! I had lots and lots of food! Watch out for the coming posts!!!
Ah so! Kampau looks very simple and untasty but guess the trick depends on who makes it and what’s used to toss the noodle with.. mayb could try chopped chilli, raw garlic and olive and use the oil from canned anchovy?
Meanwhile, have a good trip. I’m sure u r a good orator or else u won’t have so many assignments!!
It is simple…and has its unique taste. It’s nice…but I prefer Kuching kolo mee…and I’d rather have it than those wanton mee with the black sauce. Only like the char siew and the wanton! Thanks…will post on the seminar one of these days!

I’m from Sibu, not Kuching…but I prefer kolo mee! Guess I’m the odd one out over here! LOL!!
