Cafe Cafe

One of the well known cafe and restaurant in Sibu town is Cafe Cafe, located at Chew Geok Lin Road, just next to the Tua Pek Kong Temple. This is one of the old building structures still standing in Sibu town.

Cafe Cafe has been around for years since its first outlet at Kampung Nyabor Road. Recently, I manage to visit Cafe Cafe for the very first time since they moved to this location.

Don't let its outside appearance fool you. I was rather surprised how many tables it can accommodate inside the 3 storey building. The lighting is a bit dim here but this kind of create a romantic atmosphere. Frankly, it is rather dark here that I find it hard to see (and even identify) my food properly.

On the 3rd level, what seems like a private space for those who want more privacy.

Green salad (RM 4.50) with Thousand Island dressing. Surprisingly, it tastes really good.

The best food of the night got to be Mamak Noodle (RM 8.50). It's hard for me to describe the taste but it has a distinguished flavour that set it aparts from other noodles I tried before. It still maintain the flavour which I crave for when eating at the mamak stalls in Peninsular Malaysia. Thumbs up for this dish.

Sweet Vinegar Chicken (RM 28). Basically has sweet and sour taste to it. Nice and neat presentation.

Nyonya Set (RM14.90). This dish portion is quite huge and can basically feed 2 person. 2 big drumsticks cooked in Nyonya style is the highlight of this set. Served with side dishes such as acar, fried brinjal, chips and fruits. Overall, a satisfying experience.

Chicken Chop (RM 18). Another neat presentation with grilled chicken and topped up with what I assume to be mushroom sauce. Served with potato wedges and stir fried vegetables.

Lamb Chop (RM 22). No dressing on the lamb noted (which is how it is suppose to be). The lamb is tender and cooked with perfection. Served with potato wedges and stir fried vegetables.

Chocolate Smoothies (RM 7.50). A mixture of banana and chocolate. Taste pretty good.

I am surprised with their dishes. I never realize the food served have improved by leaps and bounds since they moved to this new location. However some of their dishes such as Penang Kueh Tiau (Rm 8.50) and Szechuan Soup (RM 8.50) failed to impress me.

Generally, the food here is satisfactory. The only issue is the price is a bit steep.

ML Comics

ML Comics is one of a few shops in Sibu which sell genuine collectibles and toys. It is located at Tuanku Osman Road, Lane 1, near the MAS office.

Here are some of the toys been displayed at its window. There are Gundam, Transformers and other figurines been showcase here. Most of the people who visit the shop tend to buy Gundam toys.

Inside, there are a handful of Gundam models available here, mostly from the Seed and 00 series. All are original from Bandai and not those imitation from TT Hongli.

Gundam posters are also available here. I did fancy to own some Gundam figures for sometime now but had yet to materialize.

Limited choice of Transformers toys been sold here. Mostly revolve around the one in the movie.

For those who is familiar with the latest Gundam series; Gundam 00, these Gundams should be recognizable easily. Exia, 00 Raiser, Cherudim and Seravee are the Gundams piloted by the Celestial Being's Gundam Meisters in the series.

Most of the Gundam anime series have a strong message to the world, especially the world leaders to stop the ongoing wars and put away our differences for the peace of this world.

Another core business for ML Comics is renting Chinese comic books and novel.

Fujian Garden @ Kuching

I stumbled upon Fujian Garden while venturing the nearby Jubilee Recreation Ground. In fact I never thought this garden actually exist as it is not shown in most Kuching map I came across.

The arch at the main entrance that welcome visitors to the garden

These statues which are located at the main entrance seems to be "guarding" this garden

There is another cat statue inside it. This statue kind of compliment the existing cat statues along Pandungan Road.

There is a Chinese Zodiac Garden here which features all the 12 Zodiac animals.

A number of shelters been erected around the garden to beautify the surrounding area as well as a place for visitors to rest and enjoy the soothing environment.

Some of the shelters have a beautiful painting at the ceiling. I almost missed these paintings if I didn't look up while sitting inside one of the shelters.

I believe the garden is a good place to take a nap too as this guard was in his deep slumber without realizing my presence.
