Cuisine
Sibu is known for its delicious and affordable local cuisine. The more famous ones include:
- “Kam Buan” noodles (干盘面) – available at almost all coffee shops and food stalls. The best kampua can be found at Sarawak Laksa – Mouth-watering Sarawak laksa at Aloha
- “Diang Miang Ngu”(鼎边糊, similar to Taiwan’s 鼎边銼)- a savoury soup is available at many stalls as a late night supper. A popular joint is in an alleyway by Jalan Blacksmith.
- “Bien Niuk”(扁肉, also called wanton, 雲吞. It is known as 餛囤 on the Chinese mainland，while Taiwanese call it 炒手) – a meat dumpling soup.
- “Kom Biang” (光饼)- a Foochow delicacy made with flour, baked in an oven and eaten either with or without meat and a special gravy. It is somewhat similar to a bagel. However, it can be either in a crisp or soft version. Nice soft kompia dipped in pork sauce can be sought from Chung Hua road and the Sunday Market at Pedada road.

Hong Fu Seafood Restaurant located adjacent to Sibu Bus Terminal. They are occupying 3+1 shoplots for their business. Suprise not, even these with numbers of shoplots, they perpetually fully occupied everyday. The tables and chairs are line up along the pavillion of the neighbour shops on weekends when these shops are off for business.
Mi din - Local Fern
Despite, the huge number of patrons & orders of food, a simple dish such as veggies, you will expect less than a few minutes waiting time for it to reach you table. And that’s something I admire this outlet for. I hate to wait. 
Fried Tofu with minced pork
You could have thought that, their speedy cook might neglect the quality of the food presented to you. That’s not the case here.
Fried "Ham" Clams
You won’t regret dining at here. The food are great & the prices are reasonable too.
Fried Pig Trotter
One of their signature dish is fried pig’s trotter.
Fried Crab
Nonetheless, Hong Fu’s fried crabs. Some says the cheapest & the best in town. You will notice that every table at Hong Fu will be served with crabs.

They have astounding interior, great food served friendly worker while enjoying comfortable dining experience.
I assured my uni mates that Cafe Cafe is one of the outlet that they must visit before leaving Sibu.

Just the menu had some new add-ons on it.
