Rajang River, Sibu And Farewell To Quay Po...

After our "heavy" breakfast, we were guided to this place called Wong Nai Siong Garden adjacent to Sungai Merah (Red River).  According to Arthur, this is the place where the late Wong Nai Siong, the first Foochow pioneer landed... (am I correct, Arthur?)  Well, roughly like that la.. too lazy to google more.. *that's me!* 
 
anyway, here we are... 
 
The side view...
 
along the Red River.. or is it Rajang River?
Arthur, you told me that this river turns to red sometimes?
due to the red leaves or ...... *something like that*
Another picture before we ventured off to feast again!
Believe it or not... in less than an hour, 
we had our second breakfast!
Roti canai telur!
and Sibu famous flat noodles with egg as topping...
back at hotel... our shopping....all foodie stuff...
then... at 12pm... it was time to bid goodbye to 
Quay Po and her friend Ping...
though it was less than 24 hours,
I really must say that it is indeed a great pleasure 
to know both of them.. they are indeed FUN!!

Till we meet again..
Stay Young.. Be Good...  Dear Pear...
*wink*

    When I saw the roti canai telur pic, I thought the next one is roti canai put on top of kuey teow. Hahaha. Then when read your description, realise it was egg. What a great trip you have there.

    The scenic beauty of the Rajang River is a sight to behold. Thanks for sharing. At least now I have another reason to consider cuti-cuti Malaysia. You know la, travelling by plane means going out of the country, so the idea of exploring Eastern Malaysia has never crossed my mind so far.

    Pam, that's Sungai Merah or the Red River. The Mighty Rejang is not so small...

    Isaac, low tide when the water goes downstream, it's like teh-o (tea without milk)...the colour is due to the dried leaves that drop from the trees up river into the water.

    High tide, the water comes in from the main Rejang River and turns into teh-see (tea with evaporated milk). What to do - logging upstream....but anytime better than Sungai Petani!
