It rained all night…

…that night when my friend, Lim, and his family took us and our friend, Jimmy, from Kuching out for dinner…

…at this very beautiful place at the Permai Lake Garden in the outskirts of Sibu town but of course, that did not stop us from making our way there…

It has been around for sometime now…

…but I had not been there before so when they suggested the venue of their choice…

…I jumped at the chance right away. It probably would be better to go on a moonlit night though so one would be able to walk around to enjoy the night view and the cool fresh air there…

I loved the honey chicken with the generous sprinkling of sesame seeds…

…and the jelly fish was good too…

– not too sour like what I had had at some other places and none/not so much of those thin strips of ginger which I would promptly remove before eating as I do not fancy biting into them and eating them like that.

Melissa loved the lamb curry…

…which was not like curry as we would know it, more towards the Japanese kind of curry, but it was very nice and worth trying should one happen to drop by there for a meal.

The kids loved the fried stuff, of course – the calamari rings…

…and the tofu fish balls…

…and I would say that we all enjoyed those as well.

The salted fish brinjal served in a hot plate…

…was nice but it would be better had it had a stronger salted fish taste.

Everybody loved the midin (wild jungle fern)…

…and the spinach…

…both fried plain (chin-chow) with garlic. I particularly enjoyed the sweetness of the vegetable and the fern without that being drowned out by all the usual ingredients used.

That certainly was a scrumptious dinner treat, thank you so much to you, Lim, and your missus and family. What could be better than time spent in the company of good friends…
