Oops…

Oops!!! It’s actually Opps, and not Oops, but never mind! In the words of William Shakespeare, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

This place…

…has been around for quite sometime now. It used to be a Thai chicken rice place, selling pretty nice chicken rice though I could not see anything Thai about it. That one did not last too long and eventually closed down and I think it reopened at one place right across the road and that soon disappeared as well. The present people took over the original location and have been there since so probably, it is doing pretty well to sustain their business all this time.

It is a very nice place, pleasant and clean and the decor is something like those franchise kopitiam places…

…but I do not think it is affiliated to any of them in any way.

I think, if my memory serves me right, my friend, Annie-Q, did tell me that this place is owned by her friend or relative but she has never dropped by herself either. I don’t think this is the name of the owner…

– probably something given by a well-wisher when they commenced their enterprise here.

Anyway, I went out for breakfast with my friend, Philip, one morning and I actually wanted to take him here for the classic original authentic Sibu kampua, the kind we had way back in those days when we were growing up but the very thoughtful and considerate guy said that I had blogged about the place before and suggested coming by here instead for the coffee and the half-boiled eggs (2)…

…perfectly done, plus the kaya toast…

– RM4.60 for the complete set. Philip loved the fact that they were very generous with the butter unlike most places where they would just use a bit or worse, replace it with margarine.

I opted for Set B – which entitled me to the same coffee and half-boiled eggs and instead of the toast, I got a packet of nasi lemak…

The rice was quite nice…

– yes, you heard me the first time. I did say “quite” and I did feel they could be a little bit more generous with the peanuts and the ikan bilis (dried anchovies) but generally, I would say I did enjoy it.

There are many other things on their menu so if anybody is keen on dropping by to try, it is located along Keranji Road near the Sibu Public Library…

…opposite this coffee shop on the other side of the street…

…and no, that one isn’t mine, not at all…unfortunately! LOL!!!
