There you are…

Well, some of you may remember this stall…

Asian Flavours revisited

…that used to be here but they moved to some place near the Sibu Bowling Centre. I never went there as they only opened at night unlike at the old place where they used to operate in the morning till after lunchtime…and good people like me seldom venture out once the sky gets dark. LOL!!!

Well, they’ve moved again…and now they are at the food court at the back portion of the Sibu Exhibition Centre. Here, they are open for business from  around 7.00 a.m. till 10.00 or 11.00 p.m. at night.

Out of those that they used to sell, there are only two items left on the menu – the Singapore fried Hokkien mee and the very nice Spanish chicken croquettas. But they do have a few new ones on the list and I decided to try the Thai-style pineapple fried rice (RM4.00)…

It was very nice with a pleasant fragrance and flavour…but I do wish that they would not use those pre-fried shallots that one can buy packed in plastic at the supermarket. I’ve noticed a lot of people using that these days  and perhaps, most people do not mind. On my part, however, I would very much prefer it if they would slice their own shallots and fry them for use instead as they would smell and taste a lot nicer…and they can save the oil to cook other things which, I’m very positive, would surely serve to enhance the taste.

There were a lot of ingredients in the fried rice – a bit of this and a bit of that. I saw some pieces of chicken, some egg and ikan bilis (anchovies) and I think I even tasted a bit of hay bee (dried prawns) too, if I’m not mistaken.  Perhaps it would be nice if they add a few prawns/shrimps and charge RM5.00 a plate…or perhaps, they can make it optional – RM4.00 a plate but RM5.00 with prawns and extra ingredients added.

The sambal that came with the rice was very very nice…

…but I do wish they would give more – maybe twice that amount. It went really well with the rice…but for me, it was not pedas (spicy hot) enough. It would have been a lot nicer but considering the general population in Sibu, I guess they cannot make it too hot just to please the selected few. In fact, I’m pretty sure there are people around here who would eat everything but leave the sambal untouched. Right or not, Annie-Q? LOL!!!

Well, stick around, folks, for I will go back there again sometime to try what else that’s new on their menu…and I’ll keep everyone posted on what’s worth having, should you decide to drop by the stall sometime…
