In the evening…

After our mid-afternoon tea here, Ivan and I went around town and among the places that we went to, we stopped by this riverfront…

Imagine this! I actually live right here in Sibu and I have never set foot on this place before. I drove past a few times though – bringing visitors on car rides, sight-seeing and it did not seem like much. I was pleasantly surprised that it is really very nicely done with these nice craft works and stuff…

It certainly is a very nice place for evening walks or to go jogging, if you like. Unfortunately, it started raining soon after we got there so we had to leave before I was able to take more photographs.

We went to the pasar malam (night market) too but I did not take any photographs there. Here, we have it every night and at the same place and everyone who came seemed intrigued by what they could get to see there and enjoyed browsing around and buying a thing or two.

Then, we came here for dinner…

We were early so we were able to take a few photographs of the place…

Ivan was amazed by how nice the place looked – I guess he never expected anything like this in this small town…and that was not all! His eyes almost popped out when he saw the prices of the things on the menu.

This grilled Norwegian salmon with lemon butter sauce…

…that he had was only RM28.00. He said he could get nothing at that price anywhere in KL, not with such a very pleasant ambiance and classy surroundings.

I ordered the grilled tenderloin beef with red wine sauce (RM35.00)…

…and both of them were pretty good.

I felt the banana pancake (RM8.00) I had for dessert…

…was not to my satisfaction though as the pancake was kind of tough or hard. Ivan liked it so he took over and finished it all off.

He did not quite care for the jelly pisang (RM8.00)…

…that I ordered for him as I wanted him to try this original Sibu-creation and when I tried it, I was not surprised. Generally, it tasted good, better than what I had here,  but they used agar-agar jelly. They should use the jelly – the ones you can make using the powder available at most supermarkets, cherry flavour no less and other than that, they had ice cubes inside! No! No! No! They should use crushed ice instead…or just do without it like the ones here.

It certainly was a sumptuous dinner, I would say and I’m glad that Ivan enjoyed himself. You would too…if you care to drop by our little town!
