Puzzled…

There’s this new place in town…

Thai Chicken Rice

…the Thai Chicken Rice, located in the block of shophouses somewhere across the road from the Sibu Public Library (where the Bank Pertanian office formerly was).

My missus and I dropped by for lunch on Sunday and the place was crowded – business was very good, to say the least. It did not matter much though for the service was very  efficient and we were attended to in a jiffy.

They had run out of fried chicken so my missus had the steamed ones, RM4.00 inclusive of a big plate of chicken rice….

We were also given this complimentary bowl of soup and ultra-diluted curry gravy…

I ordered the pork leg combo (RM6.50)…

…which also came with a plate of chicken rice and we shared one stewed egg (RM1.00) between the two of us…

Iced black coffee (kopi-o-peng) was RM1.40 which is more or less what they charge at some coffee shops around here.

The food was all right, servings a bit small but substantial enough for a light lunch and anyway, one can always order more things from the menu but what puzzled me greatly then and until now, I am still unable to figure out is – what is Thai about the place? Can anybody enlighten me?
