More and more…

Oh me oh my!!! When my daughter and I went over to Kuching that day, I brought along a few packets of my newly-discovered instant Sibu kampua noodles each for my cousins and my friend, Jimmy, for them to try…

…and the next thing I knew everyone was placing orders for more and more of the same…

…so I had to go back to the place to get it for them.

I met my paternal cousin there – he had read the post in my blog and had dropped by to try their fish head noodles that I said were good and he quite agreed with my opinion…and he promptly picked up the tab for what we had, thank you so much, coz!

This time around, I had their mee sua in the traditional Foochow red wine chicken soup…

…and I would say it was very good though I thought the serving was a little small, a bit smaller than those at the regular stalls in the coffee shops.

My missus had the tom yam hung ngang (the big mihun)…

…and she loved it. She said that it was very nice…

…but not as nice as the ones here or here – theirs, according to her, are very much nicer…

…and they had prawns, not fish…but of course, their price is about 2-3 times more so the choice is yours – cheap and nice but not as nice…or a lot nicer but very much more expensive.

Gosh!!! I saw on their Facebook page that they had an order for 200 packs to go to New Zealand…and over 300 packs  bound for Kuching, out of which 25 were my order and I heard that 5, plus 10 more on a separate order, would be going to somebody in China…and somebody in KL has managed to get hold of some and would be getting some more, a lot more as everybody there wants it too! Good grief! It certainly looks like our celebrated Sibu kampua noodles have gone global, believe it or not!!!

STOP PRESS:
A cousin of mine in Kuching sent 5 packets of the Sibu kampua noodles to her son in Liverpool in the UK and he received it in 4 days, the same as when I sent something to my friend in Seremban via our “POSLAMBAT” (Tsk! Tsk!)…and of course, he has starting feasting on his most coveted treasure.
