Graceful Land Of Swan And Exotic Food In Payung, Sibu


Rested in the hotel for a short while before proceeding for our so-called lunch... come to think of it now.. our third meal was on the way and I think it was not even 1pm yet!  (if I am not mistaken.... )  lol...

Many Thanks to Wee Kean, he took my kids and I for sight seeing... (I think Arthur handed the duty over to him cos he took them there one day earlier.... ) ....

So here we are... at Rajang Esplanade... *hope I got the name correct*
 Sibu.... land of Graceful Swan...
symbol of good fortune and health for 
the community to live in peace and harmony!
Looking at this beautiful swan, something came to my mind
Reminded me that I must check into some
cheap flights to Greece for the summer holidays..
oh..someone is running loose... 
 Gotcha.....
 small kucing with small girl...
Small Kucing is so cute in this picture.. 
Love this!!
some boats nearby....
Don't know why I pointed.. but I did...
maybe something fascinated me... 
oh, maybe I pointed bec this place is just opposite 
the Payung Cafe.. where we  had our 3rd meal.. 
Payung Cafe... exquisite place...
the Payung-s hanging by the ceiling.. 
so... what did we order.... 
this is a compliment dish - pomelo salad!
best salad I have ever tasted!!
Really out of the world... this is a MUST if you visit this place...
Trust me for once... hahahaa....
we ordered mushroom roll...
Another MUST have dish - Belimbing Udang... 
So-So Appetising!!
Another exotic dish..
fish with shredded ginger plus something I couldn't describe..
ooopssss...my otak-otak picture..
looked kind of weird.....but who cares...lol..
it was so goody-goody!! 
Andy ordered banana shake and a 
fresh durian ice cream for yours truly here..
Ling ordered this... not bad too..
choc ice cream with peppermint...

Wee Kean had this.. but I got some share too :)
happily enjoying our food...
good food... sweet smiles...
and lastly... one for the album...
Payung Cafe... thumbs up for you!!

  8. My favourite in town - would drop by quite often. Quite pricey, portions not big...but very original, very exotic...very very nice. Love the place, the ambiance - have to go at night, very romantic... Wink! Wink!

  9. The pomelo salad and belimbing prawn looks tantalising. The pomelo salad will probably get me hungry (or hungrier) then I can go carboloading with the rice and belimbing prawn. *salivate*

  18. Interesting. So many dishes that we can't get in the Peninsula. That's real exotic, I mean for the West Malaysians.
