Sibu Authentic Foochow Food

~I AM BACK~

In case you don't know, yours truly went back to Sibu for the Raya holidays to visit his grandma. One of the perks of being a Malaysian is that there are lots of holidays due to the multicultural nature of Malaysia.
(There are 3 major celebrations and a few smaller ones according to the different states. To know more about the coming public holidays, go to Malaysia 2008 Holidays.)

So, what to do in Sibu? Aside from eating, there is not much to do. Sibu is quite famous for its cheap and mouth-watering foods.

It is a quite laid back town where life flows at its own slow pace. Good place to relax and unwind although at times life there seems monotonous with all the routine activities.

Lets move on with the photos.

Next up is the most delicious authentic Foochow food by my grandmother.
(She is a pure Foochow and any food cooked by my grandmother is considered authentic Foochow food in my dictionary. Even if it is spaghetti, as long as it is cooked by my grandmother, it is Foochow food. =p)

My grandmother is a very good cook. So far, I haven't tasted any food that taste better than the ones she prepared.
