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.

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. :)

I had some uni. friends that are from Sabah & Penang that travelled from Miri to visit my hometown, Sibu.

I guess the main reason there were here is because they were intimidated by my words of persuasion. LoL. I have been telling that Sibu is a food haven.

Food here are cheaper & better compared to Miri.

Where else can you in Miri get a meal that cost you Rm3.00 inclusive of food & drinks?

Below are some photos of food & drink we had at Taman Muhibah Selera, Sibu. There are around 40 food & beverage stalls operating from 6pm onwards. Most of the stalls here are operated by Chinese. However, there are some Malay stalls too.

At Taman Selera Muhibah, you have wide range of food to choose from hawker food to western food, from nasi lemak & satay to fried kueh teuy to rice con gee. You name it.

This is one of the famous signature beverage that are available here.

Lutong Cafe.

Burning midnight oil and last minute study are nothing new for university students. The past 24 hours(Nov 3rd), I just had a short nap from from 5.30 p.m to 7.00p.m and stayed awake until 6a.m.

7.30p.m, I woke up and headed to Lutong Cafe for breakfast which we had planned earlier last night, just only for the legendary Lutong Cafe’s porridge.


Lutong Cafe’s Pork Porridge. Rm 3.50

Rumours had spread around from the mouths of those whom had been here for the famed porridge that this place is usually packed in the morning and infamous waiting time for the porridge to be served. And yes, its indeed true. Lutong Cafe was fully packed when we arrived here but with a little bit of luck, we get to reserve a table for ourselves. Lutong Cafe’s legendary porridge is deliciously served with your choice of either chicken egg or preserved duck egg. The different with the porridge sell here is that it is cook with charcoal fire which is a traditional way to produce thick porridge.

For those who are not a porridge lover, there are also vast variety of choices ranging from “char kueh teuy” to hand-made “Ban Mee” to fill your stomach without having to dig deeper into your pocket.

I went there last few weeks for dinner. However, only its main restaurant is open for business. Lutong Cafe’s restaurant offers ample choices of Chinese delicacies at a reasonable price.

Some take education and to excel in studies as their sole target in their university life, some consider university life as a joyful moment. But for some people like me,both studying and enjoying are equally important. So for the those who can, study bloodily smart and play as hard as you can. So to the fellas out there, take your every opportunity to enjoy your University Life!

There will be more interesting stuff posted up soon. Wait up for the next post.
