Sibu Trip - The Last Evening

This is the last of the series I'm blogging about my family's recent Sibu trip. Time passed quickly when everyone was having a good time! Roseline even did some vege pau (steamed dumplings)! On the evening before we returned to Miri, we had a home-cooked meal at home. Photo shows my two sons with their cousins. Roseline's younger brother Jimmy managed to buy a 4 kg Marble Goby freshwater fish (locally called "Motutu" or Soon Hock in West Malaysia) at Batu Niah when he drove back to Sibu from Kota Kinabalu. This was the best steamed fish we had for the year 2008! After dinner we ventured to the famous Pasar Malam (night market). I took this photo facing the entrance. Unlike during my previous visits, I was surprised that there was no bustling crowd and only a few vendors sold food and beverages. Could it be that people now have changed their preference and shop at locations nearer to their residential areas?
We went to Sing Kwong (a supermarket and departmental store) to find out. The huge carpark was full and there were many shoppers there! Shopping in Sibu has always been a pleasure. It is quite common to find the prices of consumables lower than Miri by 10% or more. That's why it's hard not to overbuy, xD.
