Well, if anyone is going to do a feature on the culinary delights in Sibu, this place would definitely be among the top few around and personally, I would rank it as my number one.
Why, even if I do not state it clearly in black and white or provide the link, I am sure everyone can tell where this is…just from looking at the food. Hmmm…it seems that it has been given special mention on this website…
…not once but a few times as they have a number of these stickers on the wall.
Among the dishes sharing the limelight would be their rojak…
…which is different from the usual and all the rest – even the sauce is not exactly the same.
Another one would be their very popular mushroom roll…
…which one would not be able to find anywhere else, only here…and their otak otak fish…
…which is exclusively their own original recipe…
– totally different from others in the other parts of the country, north, south, east or west.
This is ikan keli (catfish)…
…cooked along the same lines as how the Foochows would do it – with lots of ginger, garlic, soy sauce and brandy or their traditional red wine and here, it seems that they’ve gone a bit further and added a little bit more…and though this is more a Kuching original recipe – the kacang ma chicken…
I would recommend that it be included as it is not commonly found elsewhere, not even in Sibu. If I am not mistaken, the place where I used to be able to get it has stopped serving it and likewise in Kuching, it is not all over the place like kolo mee or laksa for the simple reason that there, everyone would cook their own at home and claim that theirs is the best! LOL!!!
While we were there, they cooked this paku (jungle fern) in santan (coconut milk) dish…
…specially for us even though it is not on their regular menu…but they did say that if anyone is interested, they can let them know before hand and they would see what they can do about it.
Ok, so that was lunch….and next will be dinner! Stick around, folks!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
