Leaving tomorrow…

Gerard, my ex-student who incidentally is also my godson, was back in Sibu for the mid-year holidays but for some reason, we did not manage to get to meet until last Friday for lunch and he would be leaving the very next day for Melbourne, Australia where he is currently pursuing his tertiary education.

I had difficulty looking for a parking space around town and eventually, we ended up at this place where we went to the last time he was back in Sibu…with Philip‘s son, Michael, from the US.

I ordered their special blended kopi-o-peng (iced black coffee) which would be served looking something like this…

Anybody would think that this was iced coffee with milk, don’t you think?

Slowly, the bubbles would rise… and the coffee would get darker…

…and at the end of it all, it would look something like Guiness stout…

I like the coffee here but I do not get to drink it often as normally, I would come here for dinner and I would not want to drink coffee in case I could not get to sleep the whole night through after that.

Now, what did we have for lunch? We had the sweet and sour fish fillet…

…and the sizzling venison on a hot plate…

…and this plate of fried cangkuk manis with egg…

Personally, I feel that nobody does it better than this restaurant. We also had the Foochow-style tofu soup…but I forgot to snap a picture of that. All in all, the bill came up to RM33.00 for the food alone, four dishes altogether.

Well, I certainly hope you had a pleasant flight back to Oz the following day, Gerard…and I guess I’ll be seeing you again at the end of this year when  you come back for the summer holidays. Take care there, God bless.
