What to eat in Bintangor

Bintangor is a small town to live at, smaller than Sarikei, therefore living cost is quite cheap if compare with Kuching. Except buying goods for household, the local people spend most on foods, no fancy entertainment found and they sleep early. Being away from home since I move to Kuching, found that foods are so cheap if compare with any other places. Everytimes I comes back home, those dishes that I dying to see and taste are...
*Bintangor famous burger stall
*Local made soft drink
the factory just next to my house
*more cheap things and foods are found here
*one of the place to have cheap and tasty foods
*Coffee
*baked bun

*foochow style fried vermicelli
*foochow style fried Kuey Tiaw
*foochow style 'Char Zhu Mien"
*Kampua Mee
*Dark Soy Sauce Kampua Mee with Wanton
*Famous Kompia Shop
*Famous Rojak Stall
*even in local newspaper
*rojak
Others...
*mom cooks soy sauce wild pork leg
*rambutans from own orchard
*coconut
*pamelo
If you lose your way to Bintangor, ask people...telling them you wanna go "Pekan Limau" instead of naming if as Bintangor. Buy and eat whatever you want and you can. Make sure to slim down your belly before heading there. Don't worry, you won't get lose in the town because it's really a small town. Less than an hour drive from Sibu and 15 minutes drive from sarikei (if you using the new route) or less than one hour (old route) distance. Come and explore yourself...

Going back home...

Last Monday was a public holiday to celebrate Hari Raya Qurban so I decided to have a trip back to hometown since there are more than two non-working days on row. Four people in one car, still manage to squeeze in.
*Brother Mike...the driver
*I caught this!
*Not so many cars
*My sister, she get dizzy easily,
so better let her sit beside the driver
*road side scenery
*we stop here for rest
Lachau Town
*the red devil needs a rest too
*Home sweet home
Finally, we reach home after 5 hours drive...long journey but safe. Thank God for looking after us all along the journey...it was fun though.

JB had nothing much interested thing going on except foods which more to Malay and Indian cuisine. I pretty much enjoy the Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Teh Tarik, Mee Mamak and other foods which is more spicy and tasty. What else can do except eat?
