Blessed Sibu Trip

Thank God for this grace and favor along the "packed trip" we have in Sibu

31 Jan 25
Long time I was not traveling with MAS airline
Quite a good experience for me and my friend, except the "landing part"
Early morning me and my friend waiting at the boarding area for sometimes... Sleepy ++ 

Wake quite early in the morning 4.30am. Just ignore my black circles. 

Mas Airline provided mineral water + peanut during the journey from Pg-Kl

Too bad I am on my aligner still... cannot grab it along the journey. 

Our breakfast in KLIA 1
O'Briens

I like the croissant so much. Crispy and nice!!! That cost me RM21 for the breakfast. 

Due our long transit, about 6 hours stuck in the airport, we went for a coffee. 

 

First trying costa coffee in the café. 

I ordered flat white RM15.7, the taste was good for me. I like it. 
There I shared my lately "dating" experience with my friend until the lunch hour.

Next, before we on board again, we went for a lunch. 

I choose to eat Din Tai Fung, since all the meals price in KLIA quite high, no hard let my friend try some good one.

This whole lunch cost us RM 72.25.
Abit pricy yet, there is no special cheap food can find in KLIA1.

I didn't know our flight will have provided us dinner also. After the flight take off sometime, the food was served.

I choose beef and my friend choose salted egg chicken. Her meal seems nicer. 

After the meal, they will provide us a drink as well. I grab "sugar free" orange juice. 

Thank God, safe landing and we have our friend's bro to pick us up in airport with another Korean couple also same like us attending our friend's wedding.
So bless that we no need to call for grab. I just realize there is quite hard to call for a grab there. My sg friend volunteer to rent us the car in airport the next day when I tell them there is quite hard for them to call for a grab there. 

My friend's house buffet dinner. 

First year angpow from my friend :)

My bff brought her family along and travel all the way from Penang to Sibu. Their flight delay, yet her 4 months old baby was fresh and happy when reach the homestay. I am so happy to meet her in person again.

Joining my friend's Matrimony in her Catholic church 

Good to see my friend's daughter Elyse looking at Jesus. 

I capture this to remind her in future. 

Keep looking at Jesus in every circumstances. 

This is the area we helped our friend to set up for the guess to sign in for the dinner. 

First time joining Sarawak Wedding dinner
Their first dish really impressed me. Quite different from what we have in Penang.

One big wet pot for the first dish!!!

This is their gift for the guest. 

Nice Fish but with alot of "Y" shape bones. 

Fruit platter. My friend keep laugh at the photo shooting of the fruits

Me and My beloved friend who attended  the wedding

After the wedding, we back to our homestay for a second round gathering with our bride and groom.

Feel the headache as I forget to take my "daily dose" 
One of my friend's friend brought me two tins of coffee. I share one with my coffee mate from Melbourne

 Get to have a small talk with my senior Chia Ling. Good to meet er again. 

2 Feb 25
When most of my "roommates" sleeping. I wake up d as my biological clock is still activated.

I grab some snacks left on the tables when everyone is still on the bed. 

While waiting for my "roommates" to prepare themselves, I grab this time to have some selfies with this cuties.

OMG.... Sibu still raining and the flood is quite serious though.

I found a special "long" traffic light here. I can't see it in Penang >> 

<< The café we planned to try before heading to lunch was not opened. End up we went to try this new café.  

The food we order to share among like below... Total cost us RM 18. 

I forget what's this dish called >> 

 <<This is Kam pua 

White Kampua with beef >>  

 <<This is Zhao Cai Fen

This is Hong Jiu Ji Mian>>

Right after a shared portion breakie, we go for our lunch pre-booked by our beloved friend from Sibu~ Ah Paw. She is my best first night shift partner. 

Thank God for her, so that we can tried the local dishes well. 

 

I like the fish so much

My friend tell me that's called Fu Gui You Yu 

The meat very soft, very nice to eat! >>

Another Sibu friend also trying hard to come to meet us there. She overcome the flood area from Sibu and be here for us. So good to meet her

Both of us, Wei Ee, her family and I went to visit another Sibu friend. Finally we get to meet Agnes and her beloved first born daughter. 

Her daughter was so adorable. 

Another group of friend did not follow us to their house, they went to hunt for "kong pia" in the Sibu market. 

 I think we have visited this sibu market before.

They even ordered for us and all the way bring the "kong pia" for us to try. 

I was so touch by the kind act of them. I am bless to have group of loving and kind friends in my life. 

Next, we went to Ah Paw's house. She host us well by filling our tummy with all kinds of "kuih lapis" 

Our favorite flavor of kuih lapis still is "chempedak" one. 

She also bless us with two small box of it to bring home. Thank God for her. She also bless each of us a pack of laksa paste to bring home. 

She also introduce us to eat this big "tong" of fish biscuit with Acar
The combination really is good and yummy. 

Before the dinner, we went to Sibu Farley market to get some local goods to bring home. 
I get some Sarawak pepper and my friend would like to have some local Kampua mee home. 

We asked our friend's daughter Elyse to help us promote to her "good friend" 

The process of packing was fun and my clumsiness make them a good laugh. 

My Sibu friend, Mina also blessed us all the goods we planned to bring home and also some fruits for us to enjoy after the dinner. Thank God for her. 

We also have our dinner in their local café name "cafe cafe". Although there is some misleading happen in between, we still end up in this café. Their service is good and they also allow us to have our own fruits on the table. That's hardly happened in Penang. 

 <<This dishes name Dabai. Very nice! I like it

After end our long day we only get to check in our hotel. 
Thank God for my friend Wei Ee who recommended a really good hotel for us to stay in. The hotel is clean and the facilities is good. Price was affordable too. I like "Starlink Hotel". They provide a bible on the writing table too. I will recommend friend to stay in again if they are going to travel in Sibu. 

3 Feb 25
Early morning at 8am, we went for breakfast again. Initially we plan to go somewhere near Mina's house to try their "wan tan". But too bad, there is slight rain again. She trapped in the bad traffic and we dare not drive in to meet her for breakfast as well. We worried we might be trapped in the bad traffic after the breakfast. 

We are heading to check out hotel and back to airport after the breakfast. 

Before heading back to the hotel, we went to grab some good "kong pia" again. The stall was recommended by our beloved bride of the week, Pricilla. 

I brought two packs to bring home since is cheap. haha.

After checked out from the hotel, we went to the airport. Finally we tried their local fast food ~Sugarbun. 

Mina blessing us the meal again. Thank God for her.

I also thank God for the favor and I am really blessed.

I thank God for the favor I have with the AA crew so that my luggage bag was not checked by them. Mina told me that the person before and after me with the luggage bag was checked by the crew. Thank God, I guess my luggage was overweight also as my friend given me some laksa paste to bring back. Unintentionally I found I bring back extra small mineral water with me. Thank God for a wonderful and fruitful trip.
