Yup...I went to Sibu to meet Uncle Arthur a.k.a Suituapui. Uncle Arthur have been saying nobody visit him in Sibu. All bloggers go Ipoh go Penang go Malacca but tarak go Sibu.
Well, the plan germinate during our visit to Auntie Claire's home in Ipoh. When Quay Po Cooks heard of it, she was very sporting. Straight away says she is game to go. Mommy Ling was also very quick to book her flight to Sibu too.
Can you guess who met us at the airport? Yup! Uncle Arthur and his wife.
Not only that! He also brought along TWO TUBS of Kompia and a Tub of Masak Hitam for us to enjoy! Can't help myself. Gotta sink my teeth into one of the Kompia.
Not only that! Uncle Arthur also armed us with our survivor kit....Tentative Programme of the trip, google map of the town and map of all the good place to makan nearby our hotel!
Anxiously waiting for the next programme.
Jeng! Jeng! Nice or not?
Uncle Arthur was real punctual and in no time we arrived at Ruby Restaurant.
Uncle Arthur had his special "Guiness Stout". It's actually Ice blended Kopi O. At the beginning the color was chocolate then like magic show when all the "bubbles" gone, it turns black into Kopi O Kao Kao. The word "Kao kao" means thick.
When they said "Char Mi Suah noodle", I misheard and said it's "shua (Joshua) noodle". Wahhhh so much all for me ah?
Well, it was really good! It was so good that I had THREE heaping.
Seafood Tauhu. I know if there is a chance, Papa would snap the whole plate of this up.
Butter Scotch Prawns. Nice nice. Crunchy.
The famous Cakur Manis. Mamarazzi love it as the leaves were really young.
Mmm...this soup reminds me of the soup that Ah Mah made during Chinese New Year. Mushroom with Sea cucumber Soup.
Anyway there was another dish..Pandan Chicken which Uncle Arthur ordered but never come. It's a blessing in disguise as Mamarazzi thinks that she would be unable to eat another mouthful of any thing else at that time.
The portion of the food were very big and can you guess how much was the bill? You'll be surprised. Thank you very much to Uncle Arthur for the dinner.
Here is the address for Ruby Restaurant if you ever go to Sibu:
No 71, Ground Floor & 1st Floor
Jalan Kampung Nyabor
96000 Sibu
Sarawak
I was very naughty after my tum tum full full. I kept making noise wanna go walk around the place. Uncle Arthur brought me outside and walked around. We came back in and Auntie Lucy's turn pulak.
After that, I followed Auntie Peng pulak. We returned to the restaurant with a packet of Dutch Lady Milk and Seasons Ice Lemon Tea. Auntie Peng told Mamarazzi that when we passby a Bank, I asked her have she gone to the Bank. When she replied yes, I further asked her if she got money or not. Then she replied yes again. And that was when I bodek-ed her to buy me milk. Naughty me. Thank you to Auntie Peng for getting me the milk.
Looks like a very nice trip for your son during the school hols.
ReplyDeleteI like the caked manis....can eat in yong Peng, Johor too, if you miss it...lol
ReplyDeleteHehehehehehe!!! Poor Peng got conned! Usually nice ladies are very vulnerable - stingy old man like me, not so easy to trick. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThat night, the bill only RM140...for 8 persons including drinks and rice. The fruit juices (including lime) can be quite expensive - RM3 at least, I think.
Thank goodness you managed to get to eat the pandan chicken when you went again - their signature dish. Very nice, right?
