Kompia (foochow bagel)

You can spot a Sibu-rian anywhere in the world when you see they have frozen kompia in their freezer. Often these 'bagel' like food have been gifted by good friends who had made a trip back to Sibu or had been personally lugged over when one traveled back themselves.  
 
Here, a young 'master' was making the kompia in a special oven.  Note there's a special fan and the kompia were baked by charcoal fire. The dough are stuck on the wall of the oven. They are delicious eaten when they just came out of the oven. We had to wait several minutes for our freshly out of oven batch.
