YUMMY KAFE, SIBU

Opposite the Ngiu Kee Departmental Store at Jalan Raminway, is a local kopitiam named 'Yummy Kafe'. Similar to the 'Aloha Corner', there are plenty of food stalls here. I'm going to show you some of the different food you can try here.


I love the kueh chap here. Kueh chap is a teochew cuisine. It is soft rice flour cakes cut into squares, then cooked and served in a savoury dark herbal soup, together with some belly pork, pork intestines, pork stomach, some fried beancurd and slices of hardboiled stewed eggs. The savoury soup is cooked using pork bones and special herbs and stewed for long hours, so you can imagine how pungent the aroma of the soup is. I never fail to finish the soup till the last drop. I usually request to omit those intestines and stomach because I'm not a fan of those internal organs. The kuep chap comes with a special sambal chilli sauce as a dipping. The dips add an extra samballish and spiciness to the belly pork... yummy!

 There is a stall selling vegetables in a fried crispy basket. A portion usually comes in 6 baskets with some chilli sauce. To get the best flavour, scoop some of the chilli sauce onto the veggies before putting them into your mouth.This dish is suitable for vegetarians. Thumbs up!

The roti canai here was declared by most people the best in the town. Many came for the roti canai as well as the Malay mee goreng.
