The corner…

In my post the other day, I mentioned that I was looking for a place that was featured in some Chinese newspaper. It being Greek to me, I could only look at the pictures and the only information I could get was the name – Mr. Bean…and the address, Lorong Indah Timur.

I know two places named Mr. Bean – one in Sungai Antu, behind Courts Mammoth called “Mr Bean Special Cafe” and the other one in the vicinity of the Sibu Bus Terminal…and since I was going to that particular area for a haircut, I decided to check the latter out. However, there was no sign of that stall that I saw in the newspaper feature.

As I was driving home after my haircut, it suddenly dawned on me that the road would be somewhere in what is called the Teku area. My cousin stays a stone’s throw away from the shops…and Gundot’s hubby who is working in Sibu, is also staying around there. Anyway, after I had published that post on this, some kind soul commented and shared a link to a blog post that showed the coffee shop where I would be able to find that elusive Mr. Bean. The shop’s name is My Corner…

…and this man has a stall there (the one with the red lanterns) where he sells his own handmade flat noodles in a variety of ways. This is the pan mee-style, dry (RM3.00)…

I remember Annie telling me when she was back in Sibu that her mum told her that the best pan-mee in Sibu can be found in Teku, so I guess this must be the one that she was talking about.

This is the curry handmade flat noodles (RM4.50)…

…which is actually the noodles served in chicken curry, potatoes and all.

Both are quite nice…but a bit too substantial. I would prefer a smaller serving at a lower price as unless one’s a big eater, when one has to struggle to finish, the law of diminishing returns would come into force. Towards the end, it just would not seem so nice anymore…
