It would not be that convenient to drop by here for lunch on school days when my girl comes home on weekends as parking in that area can be quite a pain on any day and especially on Saturdays and we would have to go earlier to grab a table as soon as they…
…open their doors at 11.00 a.m. or the whole place…
…on the ground floor would be packed…and going on Sundays would be out of the question as well as we would be on our way to Selangau and beyond around lunch hour to send my girl back to her school.
My girl loves the chicken rice here and now that the schools here are having their end-of-year holidays, I certainly would not want to miss the chance to take her there to enjoy one of their signature dishes that they have been so famous for ever since way back during my childhood days. Luck was on our side as we managed to get a parking space a stone’s throw away! Behold! A miracle!!!
We had the half-chicken platter (RM20.00)…
…an increase of RM1.00 from the last time I went not too long ago or was it because this chicken was a bit bigger?
My girl would always ask for the roast chicken everywhere else and would never want to go for this steamed version, only here and obviously, they can do it so very well. I did hear somewhere that if they can cook the meat completely and yet the bone marrow is still red in colour…
…that’s the perfect steamed chicken.
Needless to say, the rice was good too (RM1.50 a bowl)…
…and we sure enjoyed everything with the chili and ginger dips…
…that came with our order.
I just had to ask for a few of their Sibu Foochow-style sio bee or meat dumplings (RM1.50 each)…
…to enjoy as well. After all, we do not get to come here all that often.
After having had our fill, we walked to the Sibu Central Market as my missus wanted to buy a few things and I managed to snap a photograph of yet another one of the wall murals/street art works in town…
…and for the uninitiated, you can click this link here to find out why the chickens and the duck are in that kind of predicament. Now perhaps you can suggest something for the speech bubbles, what they are saying to each other, something like this, for instance:
Chicken: Hello, it’s me! I was wondering if, after all these years, you’d like to meet.
Duck: Hello from the other side! I must have called a thousand times…but when I call, you never seem to be home…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
