Well, in the earlier post, you saw what Sam, together with Gundot and Lindy, had for breakfast the first morning they were in town. We had lunch at home that day as my missus had cooked some phak lor too kha (braised pork knuckles) which was absolutely yummy with sambal belacan and Sam had at least two of the lor nui (braised hardboiled eggs). Sorry, no photos of all that as we got home late and everyone was too hungry to bother about anything else at that point in time. LOL!!!
By the way, Gundot brought me these yam puffs/balls all the way from Kuching…
I gave two to stanleycarter across the road and some to my in-laws. Personally, I prefer the char siew filling in those from Kai Joo Lane but the skin of these is better than anything we can get anywhere in Sibu.
Rain or shine, there was no stopping us and for dinner, we braved the heavy downpour to go to this place…
…where we feasted on the crabs…
…and the butter prawns which did not taste like what they said it was. I thought it was more like kiam sor hay (salted and crispy prawns)…
…and Sam wanted the midin (wild fern) fried with belacan…
…and believe it or not, she ate most of that!!! We also had the tau hu leer, the Foochow tofu soup and in my opinion, this restaurant has the best and the most authentic in town…
…and how can anybody come to Sibu and NOT eat the Foochow fried noodles, so we had that too…
Inclusive of rice and drinks, all that came to around RM160 for six persons which came as no surprise considering that the going rate for the crabs was RM35.00 a kilo. Pretty expensive, but they were HUGE ones and the flesh was firm and sweet. I do wish, however, that they have other options when it comes to the way they cook the crustaceans…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! 
Finally can post eh? Those looked delicious! Luckily I just ate and is still full. Hahahah!
Looks like it’s back to normal…so pray that it stays this way! LOL!!!

Eh, STP, the other day I stumbled upon the buttered prawn recipe when flipping through recipe books at Popular. It was pretty easy to cook. Should try one of these days.
Only need a few ingredients and I think you can figure out how to cook it. They are butter (80g), condensed milk (100g), curry leaves (cut into stripes) and some flour (for deep frying the prawns). That’s about it. Go try cooking it and blog about your verdict lah 😀
The dry type? My missus knows how to cook but we’re not really into that. Too common, can get everywhere.
I tot stp sms you first then only sms me .. ha ha ha. you so free ah?
I text stp :
“i’m number two. u must’ve text clare first. huh”
the reply was :
“no leh.dunno tis ppl,just sit there and wait or wat?”
His guess is right, you were waiting there .. ha ha ha
People love my blog so much, so many days no post, like setengah mati already…so just sit there and wait lor! Hahahahahaha!!! *nose in the air!!!
It seems easy. you know last time i watch the guy cook it – it does looks easy. can try, but i never la .. the only thing is sedap or not sedap, that is the question. ha ha ha
Belum cuba, belum tahu…tak cuba, then you’ll never know! So when? When I go to KL? No…no…I wanna go Jogoya, u belanja! Hahahahahaha!!!
Not waiting la. My streamyx using 1Mb so maybe that’s why lor 😛
Yalor…chipmunk in cyber line, no problem one! Everyday watch hor sua ho ho, hor sua ho ho…oso can! Hahahahaha!!!
fuyoo .. 1MB wor .. STP, go and curi her connection la .. but then now ur connection ok liao! Good Good
Let’s hope it will stay this way. So many days already…no post!!!

Gee! Where have you been? They’ve got very nice ones at the dim sum outlets, very nice fibrous skin with char siew filling…even the halal dim sums, they would have – I think!!!
My fever got worse. Got MC again for today. The midin looked nice though, and the prawn, and the soup..heheh…
Next week going to Sibu to buy the cameras. U’ll be around?

No problem…so you’re coming home end of year, eh? My homemade kampua oso vege oil one…plus Bovril! LOL!!!…Lights off, more romantic mah!!! Hahahaha!!!
I can’t seem to recall how that soup is supposed to taste like, unless it goes by another name… Is it sour?
Nope…it’s gooey with “mashed” tofu and egg like in shark’s fins soup plus lots of canned oysters and bits of minced meat! Normally, tofu soup is clear…and the tofu in cubes
Very encouraging to see so many comments talking Batang Ai… NNNgggyyyaaakYa.
Where? Where? Batang Rajang, Batang Igan…batang kayu???
“Too common..can get anywhere”. ok ok point taken…can still cancel the prawns I ordered tomorrow.
