Trip to Sibu

Giant Hypermarket Sibu will be opening soon so I was ordered to travel there for my work. 

On the way to Sibu from LCCT

Once we reach my boss friend picked us up and head over to lunch

Our first meal - Taste like Wan Tan Mee in KL but much better because it is cooked with pork oil 

Majority of Sibu people are Chinese. Hardly can find any indian or other race. Malay got some thou. 

I stayed at Tanahmas Hotel which is quite famous there eventhough its small. Small town ma...

China made chandelier

Reception Counter

Most people there lived in big house (smallest also Semi D) WTF? All the houses can fit at least 2 - 3 cars inside the house compound. KL majority also 1 max also 2 only. There are no proper shopping mall there. Their biggest mall is only as big as Klang Parade. This show they don really have much entertainment to spend money on. That is why my boss say most people there spend on house, TV and cars only. Here are some pictures of their houses, shops and city view.

Flooded house - no longer occupied

One of the shopping mall - this picture show exactly how big the mall is

Church - majority are Christian there

At night we drove all the way into a kampung area (the road is freaking dark) for our dinner. The food are worth traveling for almost 30 minutes though.

Local Soft drink - without gas wan

Deer meat - Awesome

Traditional Vege

Fried Chicken with Potato

Crispy Roasted Chicken

Then they bring me to take the picture of their tallest building in Sibu.

Their approach is similar to KLCC, shopping mall at the bottom with offices upstairs (shorter version)

Next morning we went for breakfast before our work at one of the coffee shop (my favourite place for breakfast don know why) XD

Lunch at one of the cafe

Beef nasi lemak

Rendang Chicken Nasi Lemak

Tasteful Sarawak Mee Mamak

After our lunch before i head back to KL, they bring me around to explore the town since we have free time before the flight. My boss was born in Sibu so he knows the place well. 

Another mini shopping mall - best brand inside is Hush Puppies

Town Centre Temple

Nescafe coloured Lake

Cruise

Port

In the middle of the town they have this 12 chinese animal zodiac for tourist photo taking.

This is not one of the Chinese Zodiac, just Sibu trademark. SWAN

1st - Mice

2nd - Cow

3rd - Tiger

4th - Rabbit (ME & my son)

5th - Dragon

6th - Snake

7th - Horse (My wife)

After taking all these pictures, it was about time to go to airport. While otw there, we drop by at the temple nearby to take some shots. It is a very very big temple. Why shopping malls so small then? Zzz..

That's the end of the trip to Sibu. The airport only has 3 gates in total. I never know there are such small airport since those that i always go are Subang Airport, KLIA and LCCT. haha anyway had a really great trip there to understand their culture thanks to the my boss and his hometown friend.
