Sibu Trip Part 12 - Jalan Haji Awang and Jalan Ulu Oya

So we cruised by the small roads and went pass the neighbourhood. So I snapped a picture of this mansion, costing RM12 million and the owner was the most powerful gangster lord in Sibu. I heard the gates were so thick it can't be whammed by a car even! Damn, talk about the gangster people. LOL.





Sibu Trip Part 11 - Sibu Town Center

So we drove past the riverside and past the city and went past the small roads in Jalan Haji Awang, where my mom used to stay. Its kinda nostalgic going through the city roads.





Sibu Trip Part 10 - Near the Rajang River

So we finished shopping and drove around the riverside. I realised they don't have Esso in Sarawak for some reason and its being replaced by a generic brand called Xcel. I swear its a wordplay for Esso and it has the Esso-ish pumping stations. Anyways, while passing by some shops, noticed there was a police car out there in front of the shops. I believed a robbery or some crime has happened on that day. Tried to snap pictures but I couldn't focus, Bah.





Sibu Trip Part 9 - Shopping in Sibu

So we were at the tallest building in Sibu, doing our shopping there. There's a Parkson and a Giant there, so Sibu is doing quite well compared to Ipoh. I'd say theres lots of choices of stuffs and they are selling pirated DVDs openly, LOL.





Sibu Trip Part 8 - Gangster's House and Jalan Merdeka food

So we drove off the Lanang bridge and passed by one of the Gangster bosses' house in Sibu. Thats a huge mansion, LOL. No wonder gangsterism is so rampant in Sibu. Well, I passed by an old Yeo Hiap Seng building, so I snapped a picture. So we had dinner at night, some local delicacies, crabs and snails. Hehe, it was awesome food. I am beginning to like Sibu food already





Sibu Trip Part 7 - Lanang Bridge

This is one of the longest bridge in Sibu and connects Sibu to other towns such as Kuching and Sarikei. On the other side of the bridge, theres a toll, that costs RM3 to cross it. It's a long long bridge to be exact. Right across the bridge, we have a land over there which we want to sell, since my grandfather isn't doing so well with his health. But guess we'll have to find a way with that. Heh.





Sibu Trip Part 6 - Upscale houses

This is a new residential area which houses all the rich and the famous in Sibu. Most of them are Datuk's and timber millionaires. LOL. these houses are big, way larger than the ones you can see in KL or Ipoh. Damn, these peoples sorta have unlimited money and they even made an island for themselves off the Rajang river. LOL, i bet the rich are super rich there, though theres hardly and luxury cars over there. LOL.





Sibu Trip Part 5 - Food court near the market

Theres a huge food court near the market. The food there is kind of interesting, especially wanton noodles are made different here. Also to note, they have this special food, called Chao-Zhu mien, which basically means, fried, then boil noodles. The taste is pretty awesome and it came with Sibu's reknowned Oily noodles. Hehe, gotta go to Sibu again to taste it, I swear. There's even the peanut drink, which was way better than what I had in Malacca.





Sibu Trip Part 4 - Sibu Town Center

So we finished groceries shopping and decided to drive back home to unload the groceries. On the way back, I took some pictures of the area. Heh.





Sibu Trip Part 3 - Wet market

The next morning, I woke up all energetic and decided to go to the wet market in Sibu with my mother and my uncle. According to my uncle, Sibu now hosts the largest wet market in the whole of Sarawak. When I was there, I was amazed by the size of the wet market. Heck it was larger than Kampar and Ipoh's wet market combined. There were lots of groceries that can be bought there. There's also this Apam Fungkis, which was not like the usual Apam's but tasted like Kaya balls in a larger piece.
