Do it all over again…

Another cousin of mine and her hubby would be arriving from Kuching that next morning when we were in Bintulu and since my cousin would be real busy, that being the day proper of her daughter’s wedding banquet, I told her I would go and meet them upon arrival as well.

I gave my breakfast voucher to my aunties so the two of them could go for breakfast together (they have one voucher of their own too between the two of them) and while the time away on their own while my missus and I were out. The two of us went to this coffee shop…

…opposite the Bintulu bus terminal…

…and the Farley supermarket and departmental store.

I had the beef tripe noodles (RM4.00, or was it RM5.00, can’t really remember now)…

…which was all right, no msg overdose in this one, while my missus had their sambal kway teow (RM6.00)…

…and it was really good.

I tried the steamed paos too…

…to see if they were any good…

…as I thought I could buy some back for my friend, Philip, but no, I did not bring any home to Sibu with me, if you catch the drift.

We spotted them selling those Miri phong peah and tau sar peah…

…that we had when we were there and we liked them a lot so this time around, we did not hesitate in buying some to cart back to Sibu. We also bought two of the made-in-Bintulu pandan phong peah to try and they turned out to be really very nice, maybe even nicer than the ones from Miri, not as sweet.

I went to the washroom first prior to our long drive to the airport and was tickled by the notice…

…that I saw inside. LOL!!!

After that, we proceeded to the airport to pick up my cousin and her hubby…and there we went again – we took them to the hotel to check in but their room was not ready so they left their luggage in our room and off we went! Where to? My cousin wanted to buy some Bintulu belacan (dried prawn paste) so I drove back to the house and she got some from that Ms Sim there…and I also took them on a drive round Bintulu old town.

Then it was time for lunch, so we contacted our two aunties to see what mischief they had been up to and we all agreed on going for lunch together…but I think I will just leave that till my next post. You’ll stick around, won’t ya?
