Arrivederci Roma…

We do not have Starbucks or Coffee Bean or Dome in Sibu but we do have Italian Coffee which is something along those same lines. Yup, that’s the name of the outlet located in the block of shophouses right next to the Rejang Medical Centre. It’s a nice and comfy place…

My apologies for the blurry photo. Probably my hand was not steady enough at the time…

…and you may notice that there’s this gap in the tables in which they put all the coffee beans…

Italian Coffee 2

…but I don’t think it does anything to complement the appearance or the ambience of the place. This is the bar/counter…

…and there’s a wine cellar…

Italian Coffee 4

What I noticed was that all the wines came from New Zealand (priced up to over RM200.00 a bottle), none from Italy – in spite of the name of the place.

Well, like at all the other places along these same lines, you can enjoy a cup of coffee here…

…and like at all the other places, the prices here aren’t exactly cheap either. I had this Vanilla Latte…

Italian Coffee 6

…and it cost over RM9.00, almost RM10.00. I guess it would definitely go beyond that if there is this 5% and/or 10% tax that they usually charge at places like these.

If you’re hungry, there are cakes and pies…

…and quiches…

Italian Coffee 8

…priced at around RM8.00, I think. I don’t know how true it is but they claimed that they were homemade.

One thing that I do know for certain, however, is that it is not a cheap place to go to but if you want to idle the afternoon away, it would be ideal as the place is nice and quiet, or at least, it was when I went there, and you are free to sit and chat as long as you like.

To all Christian readers, a Happy and Blessed Easter…
