The first day Melissa was home in Sibu, she had roti canai and murtabak for breakfast…
*Recycled pic*
…from that stall at Bandong that I frequent quite regularly. By the way, the guy said that he would be going back to Penang with his family for the school holidays and would resume business in January, so don’t bother dropping by till then – he would not be around.
For lunch that day, we went to Chopsticks for the chicken rice that she used to love a lot. I asked for some roast pork to be added…
…and for myself, I also had the lor nui (braised hardboiled egg)…
Melissa loved it so much and she commented that it was so much nicer than what she had in New Zealand. They gave plain rice and fried kailan (Chinese broccoli) with her plate of roast chicken and roast pork…
…and she said that the pork was not as nice either – plus she paid NZ$11.00 for that and that would come up to around RM27.00. Good grief! I paid for what the two of us had that day and it did not come up to that amount – RM11.00 for the rice, RM14.90 altogether, inclusive of the extra egg and the drinks.
We bought these for afternoon tea that day – some cucur udang (4 for RM1.00)…
…and some cucur sambal (also 4 for RM1.00)…
from my regular Malay kuih stall at Bandong…and needless to say, she enjoyed them a great deal.
Well, this was just the first day… Do stick around for more! LOL!!!
