KIT's first time in Sibu!

The other day, Kit from Penang flew to Sibu for a one-night business trip. I decided to drive him to one of the most established restaurants (New Capitol Restaurant) in town for lunch. Well, mind you, finding a vacant car park there was a real pain!

Here we were!

 Of course, we did not miss out the pride of Sibu, Kampua (dry noodle originated from the local foochow community).

The noodle served here was somewhat garlicky, which was a nice twist from the usual taste you would find in any traditional coffee shops elsewhere. 

I ordered a plate of stir-fried Cangkuk Manis (you can only find this in Sarawak!) with eggs as well.

They added ginger shreds in the dish which I found it unique because as far as I was concerned, no place else would do it the same way. 

And the last dish...

 

Hainanese Chicken and roasted pork belly platter! I heard it through the grapevine that this particular restaurant serves the best Hainanese Chicken in town but soon after the acid test, I would say that I did not really like it; It was rather bland. On the other hand, the roasted pork belly was not too bad.

The bill came up for RM 30.20 plus a glass of drinking water all together, and Kit insisted on picking up the tab for me. Thanks for the treat Kit! 

Cheers to more free lunch with you, Kit!
