nostalgia - tien pien ngu...

a trip down memory land for the many of sibu-ans out there... this is one of the local foochow delight... tien pien ngu... loosely translated as wok-side-porridge-like-substance... ok... i'm bad at translating.... hahaha

all kidding aside... this was a nice treat... i don't eat this too often because to get there, it is a chore in itself... not a lot of parking around... and the timing has to be correct... i was there at around 6.30 p.m. today and went a few rounds in the butterfly park before finding ample parking at Blacksmith Road...

so what is this brew??? the pancake looking thingy is actually ground-up rice that is mixed into a pan-cake batter and then poured onto the side of the wok containing soup that is boiling... letting it solidify before scrapping it into the soup... adding in the black fungus and fishballs...

it is now rm2.00 per dish... but well worth it... at any hour, you can practically see people eating there...

so here's another look... and if you're back here in sibu - it will be there waiting for ya...
