Chillout, Soulout & Freakout

This blog will be talking about the Sibu's oldest and finest delicacies of all times which is known as the Kong Piah. Original from Sibu and authentically enough hardly able to bring out of Sibu. Even those who did made it but the taste already far from the original one. Because after I tried this one, I find that the Rihga at Kuching is not really authentic at all. This is a dry Kong Piah and not the wet type like Chong Hua Road Kong Piah. This is the Kong Piah stall where we got to wait for more than 20 minutes for the Kong Piah to be ready. The Kong Piah is purchased in bulk like this from the local wholesaler. One of the famous local Kong Piah wholesaler is Ta Fatt Trading which I will be talking about them in the next post. What they do here  is to take the Kong Piah that they purchased from the wholesaler and put in the minced pork in it. The minced pork has already cook with their own home made black sauce. Once it is all filled in, they will deep fried the Kon...

We move on and continue my food journey to this place called Sin Yung Kiaw Cafe 98. It is a cafe with 5 stalls inside selling great food. Loh Mee @RM4.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Not much vinegar taste and they do not provide vinegar for you to add on the taste. Furthermore, it is a little salty but I think maybe is because I never really enjoy a Loh Mee myself. Kampua @RM2.50 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is the Kampua with white sauce. To compare this Kampua with Soon Hock Restaurant & Cafe, I will have to say both are equally good. It is hard for to determine who got the upper hand. My taste bud is very simple which is as long as I don't eat the noodle like eating raw flour, it is a decent noodle for me. Sup Campur @RM5.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - This mixed soup with pork liver, pork intestine, fish ball...

Bukit Aup Jubilee is one of Sibu's attraction which really not attractive to me to purposely flyover to Sibu to visit. However, since I am there for 5 days and got nothing better to do, so I will just make my point there.  The map of Bukit Aup Jubilee. I hardly see the wordings on the wood. The picture is after edited and enhance the brightness of the wordings. Very badly done. Anyway, just view it for your reference. Here is the man made lake with thousands of Koi fishes. The walking pavement is well built for you to walk over the lake. The fishes follow wherever you are when you walk on the pavement like this. You can buy the fish food for RM2.00 to feed them. Swimming above each other to fight for the food. I wonder if the person in charge here does feed them or not because I feel that if they depend on us to buy the fish food to feed these thousand fishes will definitely not enough. There are not a lot of visitors to be there and purposely buy fish food to fe...

Kampua is the most famous local delicacies in Sibu. It is as famous as Kolok Mee at Kuching. For your information, both Kampua and Kolok Mee are almost the same. It is just different dialect to translate the word of "dry noodle". Kampua is from Foochow and Kolok Mee is from Hokkien.  Another difference is the way they prepare them. Kampua has 3 type of sauces to accompany to dry noodle which are soy sauce, white sauce and spicy sauce. While Kolok Mee has only 2 type of sauces which are red sauce and white sauce. Red sauce is nothing to do with spicy sauce. It is just coloring.  So today, I have been brought to one of the famous Kampua in Sibu which is at Soon Hock Cafe & Restaurant. Wait no more and let's see. Sarawak Laksa @RM4.50 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Not much difference in taste if to compare with the one that I had at Golden Arch Cafe, Kuching. Both are equally good. However, the prawns here are sligh...

After the Night Market post, I think this time you really have to question me whether do I have to visit a Pasar Pagi??? Hahaha...seriously, I also do not understand why I willingly to wake up at 6.00am just to come over here. I can't remember when is the last time I walk a market. However, just enjoy the following pictures in a Pasar Pagi. Apam Balik is a hot item in Sibu as one of their favorite snacks.  Look at those pans are full and working hard to supply the demand. We had to wait for 40 Apam Balik s to reach our turn. It is approximately 30 minutes wait. We did not wait because it was way too long. There are other local snacks beside Apam Balik so we are free to choose whatever we see that please us to cover up our earlier disappointment. This looks interesting but I did not buy any because I still prefer Apam Balik . There are deep fried food too! In my opinion, when you are travelling try to avoid heaty food like this. You can try a little to taste t...
