This restaurant has moved. It used to be around the commercial centre in the vicinity of the Sibu Bus Terminal and people used to crowd there to eat the crabs, among many other dishes. Everyone seemed to like it so much, praising it to the skies but I did not think the food was great plus I would not fancy the idea of standing by a table where some other people were still eating and grabbing it as soon as they finished.
Well, they have moved to the new blocks of shophouses to the left of the Medan Mall along Wong King Huo Road here…and I heard that they have dim sum in the morning…
I wanted to give it a try so when a friend of mind was in town on Saturday, I grabbed the chance and took him there. The char siew pao (steam barbecue meat buns) was very nice…
…and I liked the siew mai (meat dumplings) too…
They also have the shui jiao or the sui kow dumplings, whatever you may call these…
…and I thought they were very good as well.
My friend had the chicken claws/feet and he did not like them – I did not touch those, of course…but he loved these dumplings with lap chiang (Chinese sausages)…
As for me, I was not really impressed – I thought they were all right but should I happen to drop by again, I don’t think I would ask for those. These dumplings with century eggs were much nicer, if you ask me…
…and you can also give these wrapped in seaweed a pass…
I did not like these as well – owing to the colour, I had expected some salted egg in them but when I ate them, I could not taste anything of the sort at all…
We were there a bit late so they had run out of lor mai kai (glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf) and chee cheong fun so we did not get the chance to try those.
For one thing, it was very cheap – for RM10 only, you get any 3 laus (storeys) – the name they use to refer to those steamer baskets…and as a whole, it was quite nice. I wouldn’t mind going there again and the next time around, I would know exactly what to order…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
