Some will swear by this guy’s kampua mee…
…and declare that his is the best in town. He was here a long time ago…and then he moved here.
Well, it so happened that the other day, my good friend/ex-classmate, Robert, called me and he mentioned in passing that he has moved again and this…
…is his current location.
I loved his pian sip…
…when I tried his that first time at where he originally was but I was somewhat disappointed with both the noodles and the dumplings the last time I had them at his previous station.
That, however, did not deter me from driving over to his sparkling new shop to give what he dished out another chance. The kampua mee (RM3.50, regular) was very nice and the serving was huge!…
It had the authentic old school kampua mee taste with its lard and shallot oil fragrance that many true-blue lovers of the noodles would insist upon.
Yes, I did hear people saying that noodles in general have gone up in price here in Sibu, RM3.50 now but personally, I do not mind it one bit if they jack up the prices. After all, what has not gone up in price? More importantly, they should maintain the quantity and quality and ensure value for money and not shortchange their customers. Besides, RM3.50 is still very cheap compared to the other towns and cities in Sarawak and even more so if we look at how much they charge a plate in West Malaysia and Singapore and countries overseas.
The complimentary soup wasn’t too bad…
…a bit on the mild side but it was good enough for me to wash everything down especially now that I do not order any drinks at the coffee shops since I am on a low-sugar diet.
Yes, the pian sip (RM3.50, regular)…
…were indeed really great, very generous with the meat and there was clearly a lot more lean, unlike a lot of places where the dumplings are somewhat mushy because of the excessive fat in the filling.
It seems that there is an option if you drop by here to eat – you can choose the smaller servings at only RM2.50. I did not order that so I would not know how small the small is. Maybe I’ll try that next time…
