unclogging mind...: Food : My favourites...

Sibu is well known for food only... or maybe timber tycoons???

Anyway, I am no timber tycoon son... :-S

Here are my favourite Sibu food...they are not well-known amongst West Malaysians

Siput...I don't know what's the specific name. LOL...but in Foochow it's called 'ahm mo loi'. Not ammo but i think can be used to lastik birdies..hehe..

Cooked with Chinese wine and ginger...yummy!!! 'Ahm mo loi' breeds in fresh water ponds and rivers. Costs RM 4-6 for one can (condensed milk can).

My grandma's version is the best...

How to obtain the flesh?
Use toothpicks..

That red piece of protective keratin cover is not edible. The downside of eating this is some of the snails contains a little sand/mud inside...must wash properly with salt water.

Next is kupang...darn cheap. RM 2 for 1kg. Often sold by Orang Asli ladies at wet markets. They are absurdly huge. Huge pieces need to be halved to ensure no one chokes to death. :-). It is cooked with onions, ginger, chilli padi and Chinese wine. Very chewy and addictive!!!

Sarawak Laksa...I had this at a random restaurant before flying back to KLIA. The belacan chilli plus limau kasturi sauce need to be well mixed before pouring it into the bowl. I kept finding for juicy prawns but to no avail. They substituted the prawns with small slices of pork!!!

FAIL!!!!

Taste wise, the broth is not so strong, not much santan added...i finished the soup also.

The best Sarawak Laksa in Sibu is the stall on first floor of Sibu Market.

This is something to shout about!!! I love this! Chao Chu Mien (stir fried and then cooked in soup). Blogged about this ages ago...Back to Sibu...

Lastly...

ALL TIME FAVOURITE!!!

HAVE BEEN EATING THIS SINCE OUT FROM WOMB....
