It was her first morning home for the school mid-year holidays when Melissa made these delightful sushis…
…with smoked salmon and also chili tuna.
Later, at around noon, we ventured into town in search of a good place for ayam penyet as she said she felt like having that. Unfortunately, all the stalls in the coffee shops around the vicinity of Wisma Sanyan, the tallest building in Sibu, either did not have it or it did not look so good or they were closed, like the ones here, for instance…
– a coffee shop along Ramin Way at the other end of the immediate block of shops to the left of the Star Cineplex here. In the end, we decided just to have the chicken rice with all the roast and stewed stuff…
…at the stall in front.
The rice was very good – a lot nicer than what we had at the other place. Formerly, the one at the latter was nicer but not any more, it seems. The roast meat there was all right, never the best…and everyone was in agreement over the fact that what we had here…
…was very much nicer. The stewed duck was very good but I super-duper loved the stewed pork (buried under the duck) – the skin plus a thin layer of fat was absolutely heavenly. Slurpssss!!!!!
I ordered some of their stewed eggs…but it seemed that they missed the order so I had to ask them again and despite the fact that it was still early – lunch hour had just started – they only had ONE left so we all had to share that solitary egg…
…among the three of us. It was good too, nicer than the other place, not so over-stewed till a bit hard on the outside.
Their complimentary chicken soup was also tastier and very much better…
…than the other place where at best, the soup would usually have a hint of salted vegetables and all this while, I found theirs to be rather bland and I was always put off by the chicken claw that they would put in each bowl. Eyewwwww!!!!!!
All in all, excluding the drinks, the bill that day came up to RM22.50 for three persons. Reasonable, you reckon?
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
