Not quite there…

I thought their kampua mee paled in comparison to the old lady’s when they took over her stall…

Stall

…and I did not like their Sarawak laksa at all when I tried it once and I do recall having their mee sua as well before and I was not impressed either.

My brother, however, enjoyed their kampua mee very much and everytime he came back to Sibu, he would walk over to the shop…

Delta Seafood & Cafe

…most every morning to eat it – my parents’ house was just round the corner.

Well, an ex-colleague, also retired like me, who seemed to be quite a regular here, shared a photograph of the lor mee that he had on Facebook, praising it to the skies and since the very nice one that I quite liked had called it quits or moved elsewhere, I thought it would be good to have an alternative.

That was why I went to the coffee shop and ordered a bowl (RM6.00)…

Lor mee 1

…to try and yes, it was very nice. Their own-made chili dip was really good and spicy too.

I did not quite care for those frozen fish balls – wouldn’t mind if they had used their own instead and I was not crazy about the tofu puffs…

Lor mee 2

…so maybe the next time when I come here for this, I would ask them to leave them all out and give me one whole egg instead of half or a bit more meat.

But wait a minute! Now, where’s the kangkong (water spinach)? They were very generous with the vegetable but how can it be lor mee without the kangkong? Tsk! Tsk! I would agree with my ex-colleague that it was nice but, no, it’s not quite there – there’s still some room for improvement, I’m afraid.

DELTA SEAFOOD & CAFE (2.307832, 111.825125) is located along Lorong Delta 10, in the blocks of shops somewhere right behind the public swimming pool there.
