Picture…

Now, before I get to the main focus of this post, please let me run through some bits and pieces of interest first…like this adaptation of the nyonya kuih serimuka, for instance…

Available at the 3Q-Takeaway, they use black glutinous/sticky rice (high in antioxidants) instead of the usual white ones. Rich enough and not too sweet, it’s only RM1 for one huge chunk of it (that I have cut into five pieces…so it’s 20 sen for a piece like that). The usual kuih serimuka in Sibu would be rubbery and not lemak at all…and the ones I got from the old lady along Green Road in Kuching (that used to be super delicious) were a disappointment too. Then at the coffee shop at the back in the same Sibu Medical Centre vicinity, you can get some pre-packed homemade nice kuihs too like this kuih wajid/wajik…

I had bought some from the Malay stalls at the Central Market and also those by the roadside in the kampungs, but so far I had never come across one that I would say was as nice as what I used to have when I was young…until I came across this one. Very nice and fragrant, not too sweet…and sold at RM1.20 per packet of three. I would feel that’s a bit expensive – 40 sen per piece, so I guess I won’t be having that too often.

But we did not have those for breakfast on Saturday – Cooking4stp and I. Since she saw my last week’s post, she had made up her mind to go for dim sum at the Mitsu Tea House while she was in town…

We had all that my friend and I had during my previous visit…except the chicken claws, and we had these nice looking buns instead…

I did not think they were very nice though as I did not like the strong ginger taste (For this same reason, I do not like their siaw long pau!)…but Cooking4stp said they were very nice…and the best part was that she picked up the tab! Well, since she insisted, I did not resist! LOL!!!

OK! Now to get on with what I was going to share with everyone in this post, Cooking4stp and I went to Delta Mall to drop by Popular Bookstore as she wanted to get a magazine for her in-flight reading pleasure. And when we went browsing through one of the shops there, I spotted this…

If not for the picture on the box, I would never have guessed what was inside…

I wonder who the artist was…Lee Na Dor…or Tai Bing Chi? ROTFLMAO!!!…Have a nice Sunday, everybody!
