Not over…

I really have my cousin’s wife to thank for all that she did during our stay in Miri. I guess we could have called a cab whenever we needed one but I heard that the fares would be astronomical – just like in Georgetown, Penang where they would simply refuse to go by meter and charge RM15.00 (this was a few years ago, dunno now) to go anywhere within the city centre. I had to fork out that amount of money just to go from one end of Penang Road (Komtar) to the other end (Cititel Penang) – I know!

On our final day in Miri, when my girl was done with the course she was attending, I contacted my cousin’s wife to get her help to pick her from the course venue and send her over to our hotel. Later, she came again to send us to the airport but no, she did not take us straight there. Instead, she insisted that we stopped by here…

…for a late lunch…

I thought the drink she had looked very special and nice – the teh see with cincao (tea with evaporated milk plus grass jelly)…

…Melissa liked the tomato kway teow that she ordered…

…while my cousin’s wife had rice with this Japanese tofu by the side…

My missus was full of praises of the Thai chicken and rice that she had…

…and Melissa did sample a bit and agreed with her.

Oops!!! I don’t know what got into me but I simply forgot to take a photograph of what I had – their Singapore-style fried bihun…which turned out to be rice vermicelli fried with curry powder. It was nice, not bad at all…but of course, my own versions of fried bihun would be just as nice, if not nicer. Wink! Wink!

Well, that was not all! We also had this chocolate cheese cake…

…as well as this mango cheese one…

…and both were nice though between the two, I think the mango one had an edge over the other.

While we were there, I sneaked next door to a place called Dave’s Deli…and to my surprise, this place belonged to some very old friends of mine. I’m not sure why it was named Dave though for as far as I can recall, none of the brothers was named David or Dave. Anyway, I did not want the chicken pie nor the shepherd pie and they only had one steak and mushroom pie (RM7.50) left…

…so I bought that for Melissa, knowing that she loves such things… a lot!

As soon as we got home, I heated it up in the oven and let her eat…

It was very good – a whole lot nicer than what we had here or here…and Melissa enjoyed it to the max.

Soon it was time to make our way to the airport for our flight home to Sibu…
