Nur Islamic Cafe – Nyoya Cafe Sibu

March 22nd, 2010 kelvinsse 1 comment

He-ya, I’m back to kelvinsse.com again. Pardon me for my absence in blogosphere for these few actively engaged weeks.

A portion of my time was devoted to club meetings, events commitment and dealing with the new syllabus that for the new semesters.

I had missed some of the lectures during my first week here and since then I’m still coping with the lightning pace of the syllabus progress.

Since the semester begin, time was a kinda luxury for me. It bought me, instead. Thankfully, I’ve found myself some free time today.

So where can I start? Food?

Yah, I got some photos that I’ve not uploaded.

Looking throught the archives I digged up some shot of food I’ve capture in food outlets in Sibu.

I went to one of the bizzare concepted cafe. The food was like simply and the menu was kinda confused fusion of ingredients.

The egg salad – Nyonya cafe. Tasted so-so.

The rice which came with the curry lamb was in large quantity tho.

The lamb curry.

Taste : Confusion of the Fusion – The food was very weird…they didn’t blent well for me.

Excapade Sushi, Gadong, Brunei

November 22nd, 2009 kelvinsse No comments

Yet another trip to Brunei, this time to the heart of it – Bandar Seri Begawan.

Yesterday, some associates of mine and I drove all the way to the capital from Miri to suffice our lust for quality Japanese food.

Approximately, one and a half hour later, we reached the HQ of the Excapade Sushi, Gadong Branch. 

Welcomed with smiles and respect by the staffs over there really pleased us. They were friendly too!

The party set – B$ 50. Worth the price, looks nice, big portion, fresh but we almost can’t finish this. Haha.

I can’t really remember what is this but this Sandwich is delicious.

entrance of the sibu temple

 I just dig out these photo from my archives. They were snapped two weeks ago, on my way back to Sibu from Miri. I have been looking forward for the opening of these temple since last year but it has not open its gate until then.

 With the Rm60 Mil price tag on it, you can expect The Yu Lung San Tien En Si  (Jade Dragon Temple) at Km26 Sibu-Bintulu Road to be some huge gigantic and it was claimed that this temple is the biggest  of its kind in Asia. Thus, indireclty the largest in Malaysia. Here’s link of the news.

 I was fortunate enough that a day earlier this temple had just been officially opened. Which if not, I won’t be able to enter its compound and capture these photos.

 The architecture are almost as authentic as the ones we would see in China.

In fact, you will feel like you’re in China without having to travel there.. To get a picture like these:
