I went on a short trip to Sibu with my dear this past weekend. It was really an unplanned trip, well long story short ... what started out as a bo kang tao trip (yes, i really felt so at the beginning), turned out into something of mini fun and worthwhile adventure for the both of us. Although the weather had been unfavorable about 55% of our entire duration here, the first day walking around the Sibu town had basically swayed my opinion on this very rich town (huge houses everywhere!). The one way road inside the town is great, some older architecture shop lots have been preserved and fused side by side with modern buildings without compromising it's old school feel.
The town itself is very concentrated which is good for street walkers like us, although places like Medan Jaya, Sin Kwong and Delta Mall are quite far for walking. The Central Market should be Sarawak's largest and the food stalls upstairs basically serve variety of cheap and deliciously scrumptious food, but not so excellent in the cleanliness department.

The Wisma is San Yan is synonymous with Sibu, sadly it only took us 15 minute tops to finish "Chang Kuang" the shopping mall. We walked very slowly already (honest!). Delta Mall about 10 minute, but I actually enjoyed the environment there better than San Yan.
Hmm ... maybe I should just use the 11-16mm as my regular walk around lens and forgo my wish list on the Sigma 30mm F1.4 or Canon 35mm F2 or Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (I'm pretty greedy with these kind of things ... )
The place is call Manna Cafe. Not many customer but we've haven't had our lunch yet. So Bon Appetit lo.. I think I had a Manna Rendang Beef Rice which was tasted nice but the glutinous rice had some adverse effect on my stomach a few hours afterward. We actually wanted to try the famous food at Sibu such as the Kam Pua, Dian Bian Hu and Laksa nearby the shop vicinity of Orkid Hotel but a combination of bad weather and poor timing meant we just had to settle on the foreign food. Lastly, I was afraid of putting on more weight that I'm already on now. Time to increase my hiking regime as soon as possible.
I was as surprised as her, my first time seeing a red banana. I got to online less and get out more.
The weather is hot, when are they going to invent a t-shirt with a built in aircond ?
That Methodist Church is huge ... the photo doesn't actually do it any justice on it's sheer size. Probably the biggest Methodist Church I've seen in Sarawak thus far.
Fried Rice with Egg, my favorite food. If I'm on my death bed, and I was given a last request food, this would be it.
I'm pretty satisfied with Paramount Hotel. Terence told me the breakfast here is great, I think yes, I have to agree with him.

Eric was on his way back to Sibu and although we only spend some short time together, me and my dear were very grateful because of his generosity of showing us some of the places around Sibu. Delta Mall and Payung Cafe to be exact.
Nicely decorated cafe, I was skeptical of the darkness a bit at first (kia bang kah ..) but the ambiance of the place quickly helps me settle with the place. A blend of western and eastern cuisine for a fair price, I enjoyed my spaghetti with the rest. Payung Cafe is just situated beside King Wood Inn Hotel, so pay a visit if your in Sibu. Business hour starts from night time (i think 7pm).
Eric, Me and My Dear. Eric also operate a blog @ Be YourSelf.
And that concludes our trip to Sibu.
