Long long time…

This place has been around for a long long time. As a matter of fact, the young and good-looking guy was running a coffee shop right across the road from Sacred Heart School where I was teaching before I retired – the place where Thomson Corner is right now. Then the coffee shop closed down…and eventually, I saw him at this one – Yum Yum, in the vicinity of the Sibu bus terminal here. I can’t remember the last time I was there but looking at the blogpost that I had on the place, that was way back in October, 2008 but the last few times I was there, I did not see the guy anymore. I wonder if he had gone some place else and somebody took over the running of the coffee shop  in the end.

The main attraction at the time was the mee sua in chicken soup cooked with lots of ginger and Foochow red wine and I also quite liked the beef noodles there. When I dropped by the other morning, the beef noodles stall is still there and is still enjoying brisk business. I’m not too sure if the mee sua stall is run by the same people as at one time, it was closed so I do not really know if the lady came back or it is now operated by some other person. The kampua noodle stall certainly seemed to be very popular but I did not have that. Perhaps I should go and give a try one of these days.

I went to a stall selling pan mien or handmade noodles…

…and I did not even realise that it was already there when I last went there in 2008. It did not appear to be as popular as the other stalls but I was not about to write it off just yet.

As a matter of fact, my friend had the dry version then and he said it was nice…

and when I had the same that morning (RM3.50), I must say that I would agree with him – it wasn’t too bad and I would not mind having it again sometime for something different for a change.

Well, if it has survived all these years, you can be quite sure that it really isn’t too bad, not at all…
