So good…

That day, I took my cousins from Kuching out for lunch at the Sweet Family Restaurant in the vicinity of the Sibu Bus Terminal and we observed with interest how the fish would line up by the glass in front of the tank…

…even though the tank was big and there was ample space for them to swim around. It was almost as if they were all watching us on the outside – the same way we were looking at them on the inside.

We had to decide between their Philippine pork leg and this…

– their braised pork belly with mantao (steamed buns) and eventually, settled for the latter. No regrets though as it was really great! Yum! Yum!

I also ordered the fried venison with ginger…

…and managed to get what we wanted despite a little problem with the Mandarin when we were placing our order. It was all right, pretty nice…but was unfortunately overshadowed by the pork.

We had their fried cangkuk manis for our veg dish…

…and sea cucumber soup…

…to wash everything down.

I ordered this plate of Foochow fried noodles, of course…

How can anybody come to Sibu and not eat this? The waitress suggested RM5.00 of it to be shared by everybody and good grief! Just look at the amount we got!

When it was served, I could smell the wok hei fragrance and I told everyone that I was sure it would be really good. By the time, everybody had finished everything else, the noodles were still left untouched. Oh dear, I thought. It looked like I had to tapao the whole lot and take it home. Nevertheless, I urged everyone to eat a bit as it is in the Melanau tradition that if people offer you something to eat and you do not want, you should eat a little or at least touch it to prevent any untoward incident from happening.

So they all took a bit and as they were helping themselves, the whiff of the wok hei fragrance swept everybody off their feet…and when they tried it, they were stunned! It was sooooooooo….good and they had seconds and thirds and before we knew it, it was all gone…

Now, you can imagine how good it was! Yum! Yum!

The bill for 5 persons plus a kid came up to over RM70 only, inclusive of drinks and rice. Cheap, eh? Well,that was lunch! Next stop…dinner! LOL!!!
