Stay awhile…

I had lunch with Bongkersz yesterday. He managed to crawl through that section of the Bintulu-Sibu road around Tatau that had collapsed owing to a landslide. I understand that they have prepared a temporary bypass for light vehicles to use but at a snail’s pace. Needless to say, the queue was extremely long and those concerned would need the patience of saints.

We went to Rasa Sayang Cafe for the kampua noodles that Bongkersz enjoyed a lot that last time we went there together. I think people in Miri, like Goolooloo for instance, have been feeding him very well as it seems that he has put on a bit of weight…

Here’s a photo of him with his Lin Dai pose! ROTFLMAO!!! Blogger Alexallied , an ex-student of mine, joined us for lunch too…

He certainly looks better than the last time I saw him around Chinese New Year 2008 with his very Ah Beng Sepilok-escapee hairdo (It was dyed in a colour that reminds me of those primates at the rehabilitation centre, you see! LOL!!!).

We had the kampua noodles, of course but as it was almost 1.00 p.m. then, they had run out of pian sip (or kiaw in Kuching and wantan in West Malaysia), so we could not have the soup. Instead, I ordered this mixed meat platter from the chicken rice stall there…

and this plate of “lor” (braised) hardboiled eggs…

I must say that you can get better fare at the barbecue/roast meat stall at Mei Le Cafe or the Chopsticks chicken rice shop at Pedada Commercial Centre.

By 2.00 p.m. Bongkersz had to take his leave to proceed with his journey home to Sarikei to spend Chinese New Year with his parents. Gee! We have to stop meeting like this, Bong – like some hit-and-run kind of thing! Perhaps next time, you will stop and stay awhile…?
