: : Granma’s Handmade Noodles : :

This took place last Saturday after I visited Sheh Hwa at the hospital. I had lunch with my Dad and Auntie Mimi at this new place called Granma’s Handmade Noodles at one of the new shoplots at 3rd Mile. It’s located just before the Ong Tiang Swee Road turnoff.

One sign of a conscientious coffee shop owner is the fact that the utensils come sterilized in hot water. Here, they put it into a big mug but it can also be put into a small bowl of hot water.

My aunt had a bowl of the fish noodles. Apparently, this is a dish commonly found in West Malaysia but not in Kuching. And yes, there are some fish meat in the noodles to make it extremely tasty. Notice the use of a claypot bowl to keep the soup all warm throughout the entire meal.

As for Dad and myself, we both had a bowl of bak kut teh @ spare ribs tea (That’s a direct translation. The actual meaning is herbal spare ribs soup). It came with a soup filled with tauhu @ soyabean curd, strips of belly pork, spare ribs and some intenstines (yep, pig guts). And yes, it definitely tasted like the bak kut teh in West Malaysia. Note that the local Sarawak version of bak kut teh tastes very different.

That’s all for today. Cheerio all!

I’m in love.

It’s worth it. But I do hope that they fix the trigger button. My Sony DSC-F77 gave out after 5000 shots. The half-depress mechanism must have worn out somehow. That’s my pet peeve. They should also put in a function to take multiple photos. Very handy feature.

Wonder whether there’s any chance for me to try out one of these things? Probably not. Sigh. That’s the problem with being stuck on an island.

Then again, I get to live on a tropical island with a coconut tree in the backyard and have broadband connection. And no, I do NOT live in a hut.

I am a peasant. Or a bohemian.

Depends on how you look at it.

I prefer the term peasant.
