Sibu Central Market

I reckon if there's one place to show someone around Sibu, it has to be the Central market. This is like an open air mall (2 storeys) , with multi storey carpark attached . On the ground flooor is the wet market, selling everything from live chicken, little rodents (guineapigs etc) to groceries like salted eggs, veggies ..the list is endless. On weekend, the indigenous people also sells their produce at a designated areas on the ground floor. They sell things like chilis, sago worms, fruits, you have to go there to see for yourself
The picture that I took showed the main area.

After buying the veggies etc, we went upstairs to eat.  There are as many as 50 stalls (perhaps more) selling all kinds of food. It was very crowded on the Sunday.   The food stalls were once upon a time stalls that you find in the alleyway.  The Council has gathered everyone and house them at the Central Market.

 

Here's kueh we bought from the stalls downstairs

We bought this hat from an indigenous woman. Sadly she only had one. She said she would have another one available next Sunday but we would have left then. Abel always said "I am King, I am King" whenever he wears the hat. 

This is steamed layer cake.

Here's what we came to the Market for. The Teochew Mee. This man used to operate his stall behind the standard chartered bank.

Kuay tiaw tam "wet"

Cha chu mee again!

Note the soup that was served with the teochew mee was 'salted veggie' soup unlike the usual soup that was served with kampua.
