Sibu, Bintangor, Sarikei and Betong Trips

Arrived at Sibu Airport on the first day.

The airport really looked like Kuching Airport a few years back.
Someday, this airport will develop into one of the busiest in the state. :)

I stayed at the RH Hotel, just adjacent to the Wisma Sanyan (Shopping Complex).
The room was clean and newly renovated.
Quite a strategic location for traveler.

First destination.
Went to Jade Dragon Temple.
Located somewhere along the Sibu-Bintulu road.

Kampua and Kompia near Sibu town area.

Went to Jason Bakery.
Located in Sibu town.
Small shop, not easily noticeable.
They are still using the traditional way of making Kompia.
I'm lucky to witness the making process.

In Bintagor, we went to Wong Hong Ping stall for the infamous rojak.
The rojak is served with plenty of homemade peanuts with its own secret recipe of rojak sauce.
Bought the sauce and peanuts back too.

Christmas Dinner

It's Christmas season again.

A time to show our gratitude and appreciation to loved ones.
A time to celebrate birthday of Jesus.

We went to Four Point by Sheraton in Kuching for Christmas buffet dinner.
Kinda crowded in the restaurant.
People were all wearing nice clothes.

The restaurant has several sections.
Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Indian cuisine, Italian cuisine, and many more.
We ate till the fullest.

Here are some snapshots of the gingerbread cake and some desserts.

Ling Loong Cafe

On 6th December, we went to Ling Loong Cafe for birthday dinner.

It's situated at Jln Tun Jugah, easily spotted when you cross the flyover.
This cafe serves seafood and Chinese cuisine.
These are some the food that we've ordered.
~Belacan midin~
~oyster omelette / Or Chien~

~Bean curd cooked with pork~
~sea cucumber soup~
~Pork rib~

~Butter prawn~
~Fried Garoupa~

All in all, dining here is quite okay if you don't mind not having air-conditioning.
The price is quite affordable.
It costs around RM100 for 7 foods plus drinks.
