Keep going…

That morning, when I was out and about, roaming around the vicinity of the place that I was going to and waiting for it to open, I stopped by this shop to pick up a few things for our morning or afternoon tea.

There is this girl here in Sibu who will make her delightful nyonya kuihs and Chinese teatime delights and leave them there, as well as a lot of other places all over town for sale. If I am not mistaken, she is related to Rose‘s hubby – his cousin or his niece, I’m not too sure. You can click this link here to go and have a look at her home business Facebook page.

I first stumbled upon her at a fund-raising event in 2019. She had a stall there and I got to buy some of her kuihs…

…and yes, I thought they were all very good. I guess to succeed in anything, one must have the passion and the drive to keep going and it sure looks that she has no problem with that. Other than buying her kuihs at certain designated places all over town, one can also order them from her for parties and gatherings at home or other public events – she will cut them nicely and arrange the pieces beautifully in plates, ready to be served.

That morning, I bought her chai kueh (RM2.40 for a pack of 2)…

I am quite sure I have bought hers before but I did hear that on certain days, some other lady will be making hers and leaving them at this shop for sale.

You can tell from how translucent the skin was…

…that these that I bought that morning were really good. My girl loved the crunchiness of the turnip (mangkuang/sengkuang) filling too, not overcooked till mushy and soggy.

The ladies in the house loved the serimuka (also RM2.40 a pack)…

…but I was not that impressed. At best, I would say they were nicer than any that we can buy here in Sibu but no, they did not come up to that same level as the really good, so-very-lemak (rich in santan/coconut milk) ones that I’ve bought and enjoyed in Kuching.

I would say, however, that the bingka ubi/tapioca cake (RM2.40 a pack)…

…was very much to my liking, almost like the ones my late mum used to make in my growing up years. You can tell from the tapioca fibre in the cake (and maybe the desiccated coconut too) that she does not scrimp on the ingredients unlike others where most of the time, it is all flour. This was the first time I came across it and one thing’s for sure – I will surely buy it again if I see it next time.

Yes, her kuihs may be more expensive than most around here, though very much cheaper than these very nice ones that I would always buy to enjoy when in KL, but at least, one gets to enjoy decently good kuihs, value for money unlike most of the rest that I would consider a waste of one’s calories.

Well, if anybody is keen on placing a big order, you can PM her via her Facebook home business page or call her…

…at 014-6846866 or drop by the house at No. 35B, Jalan Berjaya, Sibu. Otherwise, you can drop by this shop that I went to and buy whatever that is available. As far as I know, she also leaves some at this coffee shop at Rejang Park on weekends and somewhere in the vicinity of the Dewan Suarah market and also the Sunday market, among other places that I don’t quite remember.

HONG KONG PUFF is located along Ramin Way (2.291180, 111.826634), beside Sin Kiaw Coffee Shop, right behind the Petronas station at Kpg Nyabor Road (formerly Esso) across the road from the HSBC Building, Sibu branch.
