One (2)…

My daughter arrived home safely yesterday morning and on the way home from the airport, we stopped at this place for lunch…

I have no idea why it is called One o One Cafe, maybe that’s the number of the shoplot – 101. Located at the Jaya Li Hua Commercial Centre in the vicinity of the Sibu bus station, this recently-opened eatery is in fact somewhere behind the Everwin Kopitiam that I posted on a few days ago.

The place is quite pleasant with its simple but pleasant decor…

It’s comfortable and though not airconditioned, the swirling ceiling fans ensure that the place is very airy. The service was fast and efficient but you will have to be able to speak Mandarin as they do not seem to be able to speak English at all.

I had the nasi lemak…

…for RM3.00 which is pretty reasonable considering that it is no ordinary kopitiam/coffee shop, and for an extra RM1.50, you get the special i.e. they’ll give you one fried chicken wing. That’s cheap ‘cos chicken wings these days cost RM2.00 – fried or barbecued even at the roadside stalls. Tastewise, the rice was so-so – nothing to shout about,  and the sambal as well. There weren’t any ikan bilis (anchovies) but I got one whole hard-boiled egg. I think normally elsewhere, they’ll just give half.

My daughter had the salad fish rice…

…and got a piece of fish fillet, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried, together with chicken rice. She enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I can’t remember how much that was.

Well, it was Friday so we had to abstain from the meat dishes and it seems that most of the items on the menu are available only at night. We were there just before lunch hour and the place was somewhat empty. Perhaps the crowd had not come in yet for when I drove past a couple of times on Sundays, the business looked very good and there were a lot of customers.

So to sum up, I think that it is a nice place and the food is ok, so I don’t see why I would not be dropping by there again in future…

P.S.:
Victorkiu had a post on this place sometime ago and he went there at night. You can click this link and hop over to his blog to have a look. Of course, he’s got much nicer photos – expensive high tech DSLR mah! LOL!!!
