Gosh!!! Time does seem to fly. Just last week, we had the Easter weekend and before that, there was Good Friday, a day of fasting and abstinence though I’m exempted now – I am over 60. Nonetheless, I still tried to observe that as far as I could…and for the breaking of fast that night, Melissa cooked this baked smoked salmon pasta dish…
…using the organic spaghetti that I got from my cousin in Brisbane…
…with bottled Ragu sauce, lots of cheese and everything else. It was really very nice…
…and all of us enjoyed it a lot.
On Easter morning, Sunday, after the morning service at a church here, we stopped by at this coffee shop in the town centre…
…for brunch.
Melissa had the fried pek koi or white rice cakes (RM3.50)…
…which was not very nice as it was a bit too salty and kind of extra oily.
I had the highly-acclaimed Sarawak laksa special (RM7.00)…
…of which many have sung its praises. I thought it was good, very good but I would not say it got me jumping with delight and I wouldn’t be rushing back there for more, that’s for sure – not at that price…which is, in fact, enough for two bowls of kampua mee or fried noodles, Foochow-style and there will still be some change left over.
My missus had the old favourite, the Ah Tor fried kway teow (RM3.70, with extra egg)…

…which is actually kway teow (flat rice noodles) fried with egg and with taugeh (bean sprouts) added, wrapped with egg a la Pattaya style. Like the dianpianngu, many would come from afar and head to this place just to eat this to appease their craving…but no, I am not really a fan and would much prefer my kway teow in other ways.
Well, though what we had was not really all that great, that was enough to tide us over till dinner which would be in the next post. Do come back for that, ok? See ya!!!!
