Day too soon…

Melissa saw the sign…

New chicken rice shop

…the day she got back into town from her jungle school so we went there around noon the very next day to give it a try. I don’t know if this is a franchise or what but it seems there is an outlet in Miri and the reviews that I’ve checked out are all pretty good. Unfortunately, it would only commence business the next day, Sunday, so in the end, we decided to just go next door…

Next to Ah Sian

…for the best beef noodles in town…

Despite having been born and raised in Sibu, Melissa is not really into kampua noodles and this is the only place in town where she would order that…

…and enjoy it very much together with their awesomely flavourful beef soup…

…that is served with the noodles.

After that quick but very satisfying lunch, we dropped by the supermarket round the corner to browse around. This is the popular one in town that stocks up on stuff from all over the world like from Australia…

Australian...

…for instance and Taiwan…

...and Taiwan...

…Japan, Korea, the US of A and the UK, everywhere.

We did not buy a lot – just a few items for my girl to take back and enjoy in her jungle school…

Goodies from around the world

…for a little bit of relief in the not very invigorating nor exciting surroundings. I did get to try the “real cheese chip” and I thought it  was really very nice, made in Korea…and we enjoyed the Belgium-made apple thins too, selling at only RM2.99 a box as it would expire in a  few days’ time on the 10th.

Well, that was it – our brief lunchtime outing that day. Stay tuned for what’s coming up next…
