Working Trip to Alor Setar...

Mmmm.. the usual me, even I am out for a working trip, I will still find some good food. Especially the local food over there. This time around, I guess I missed the real local food in Alor Setar, but then I had some other nice but slightly different from what I have in KL.

1. Claypot Chicken Rice: Well they actually put an egg on to the rice. I've never seen it in KL (maybe there are, but never seen it before). So when I mix the egg and the rice together, it taste a little different. Taste better. hehehe...

2. Karipap : It cost RM0.50 per piece. The karipap is very small and the filling is just nice to let u have a taste of it only. Nevertheless, these karipap are wonderful. I bought 4 on the first day, worried that I would not be able to finish it after my dinner. When I got back to my hotel, I finish it in less than an hour. It taste really GOOD!!!

3. Chee Cheong Fun : My colleague told me its nice. So I tried. It is indeed nice. COuld not feel any different but then this chee cheong fun really taste good. I had this after my claypot chicken rice (yes again) on the second day. Wahahaha....

Yum yum yum... food is everywhere. Next stop would be Tawau....

Ciaoz .........

Ex-Sibu Trip ...

Sibu town... View from TanahMas hotel room number 516. It was a slow and quiet town. Nevertheless, it is still a nice place to go. Nice place to go for when you don't expect too many things and just want to have a slow and peaceful life style (at least for few days - out from hussle of city).

To me, I would put it as a nice place, nice food and nice people. Well besides working for three (3) days straight and throwing my voice around, I had my fair share of food after work everyday. Thanks to all the colleagues in Sibu. What I had?? mmmm...... these are those that I had.....

From Top to Bottom....

Kampua Mee: The first local food I had when I reached there on the first day. It's like the Kolo Mee in Kuching or Wantan Mee in KL. But it taste good. Had another one 2 days later with what they call Fried Kampua Mee. It taste great...

Another local food (forgotten the name) : Well its like a bread with minced pork meat inside. Well I would said it something like the CharSiew Pau we had it here, just that the bread portion is slightly different. Nice ......Yum Yum....

Tom Yum Mee in Cafe Cafe, Sibu: Well just another tomyum mee we could have in anywhere. But then again, look at the size of the bowl again.... Its huge..... Three of us went and we got ourselves one bowl each. When we finish everything (one didn't manage to finish it), we saw three (3) guys ordered one bowl of this tomyum mee and shared among them. Mmmmm..... they are either smart or we are big eater... hehehehhe

Fried Mushroom & Chicken Butt: Its my dinner with colleagues and another agent. Well, this is only a quarter of the food we had that night. When it all come, I was eating all the way and full to the maximum at the end.

Working else where in Malaysia is suppose to be much more tiring and eating lesser. However, this trip has made me gain a few kg I guess (I hope it didn't). I almost could not sleep because my stomach is so full with food!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sibu......... that's where I have been for this month (October 2008). Next will be Alor Setar......

Sibu ...

Its 6.35pm now and I have yet to pack my luggage as usual before I leave for somewhere tomorrow. The walking up and down of packing will be done an hour or two before I leave my house normally. Well a whole week long working trip would enable me to leave certain things behind at least for five days.

Good or Bad.... I have yet to know. Things are being settled down in a way I guess. However, how effective as of now, I really have no idea. I wish I know...... I wish I know.

Been checking out what's there in Sibu so that I could take this working trip of mine somehow a little holiday for me. A small retreat after a big tsunami that hit me few weeks back. Would I be able to use the time to relax off my mind, or I would be busy preparing for the day after..... I have yet to know too.

Anyway Sibu as I know is a small town with nice people over there. Found out a few must try local food there. I will for sure that those pictures of those local food there back and get it posted up here soon.

Sibu here I come with a MAS plane................
