Me and my uncle…

Well, actually it wasn’t MY uncle but Uncle Teh or Uncle Teh’s Corner, to be exact – the place that we went to for lunch last Saturday. If you’re too lazy to click the link to check its location, this coffee shop is located in the vicinity of the Sibu Bus Terminal among the shops opposite Everwin Supermarket right next to the Nissan showroom there.

I was there once and when my girl was home for the weekend, she said that she felt like having some pek koi (white cake)…

…and I remember having that there. She quite liked it and said it was pretty good but what she had in mind was the black version with soy sauce and egg, something like char kway teow (fried flat rice noodles). I guess that would have to wait till the next time she comes home or some other time then.

My missus had the Foochow-style fried noodles…

…and she said it was good. The total for the two came up to RM7.50 but I did not ask how much each one was specifically.

I could recognise the kampua lady there but no, we did not order anything from her stall – she was at this place opposite Sacred Heart School a long time ago and then, she was here. Gee! She does move around a lot, it seems.

The chicken and barbecued/roast meat rice stall sure seemed mighty popular so I decided to order from there to give it a try.  The siew yoke (roast pork)…

…was good – my girl sure had her fair share of that but the barbecued pork ribs and Chinese sausages (香腸 – xiāng cháng)…

…were, at best, quite all right…in our honest opinion. I would very much prefer what I can get at the stall at Mei Le – round the corner from Delta Mall into Jalan Gambir, on the left…except that they have not made those Chinese sausages for a long while now.

They certainly were very generous with the rice…

– that was such a huge scoop, really…and the complimentary soup with a hint of salted vegetables was nicer than the bland, almost tasteless ones that I had had elsewhere. One thing I must say is that the chili dip was really good, nicer than any anywhere…and that certainly was the saving grace. Everything sure tasted good…with the chili dip. In total, I paid RM15.00 for all that meat for 3 persons and the rice.

All things considered, we might drop by again should we happen to be in that part of town…and even then, maybe we would choose to go to the many other places all around that area instead but I would not think we would not make our way back there on purpose for any of the things that we have tried.
