Sibu Foochow dinner for seven
Oh my! I have been eating so much for every meal that I believe the day won’t be far before I explode like a goldfish which has eaten too much
There is not much mood to blog as every thought is on food. Glorious Sibu Foochow food.
There have been queries on midin. This is midin. It is native to Sarawak, I believe. It is a kind of wild jungle fern.
I love it cooked like this. With belacan and cili. With this dish alone, I can finish a plate of rice! It was also the most sought after dish on the dinner table.
These are the dishes I ordered for dinner:
chicken with mayonnaise, fish fillet, vegetables with eggs, chicken dipped in sauce, prawns in batter, taufu and midin. (I don’t know how to translate these Foochow names so I just use simple English. I am not wrong probably, except when I use simple English, it loses a little of the glamor
)
Total cost including drinks
slightly over RM100.00 including one carrot juice, one Pepsi cola and five Chinese tea. Anybody wants to invite me over for dinner?
When the biggest camera is in action, every body else is a bit reluctant to dish out their cameras. If I had some money I would ask joshua to help me buy one. I feel a little humbled. I will work hard and with adsense, perhaps one day in the next five years I will be able to afford one
And why is it Cantonese is always spoken so loud? Perhaps if the Cantonese dialect was kept under wraps, I could have bargained for a cheaper price hahahahahaha

next time hor when u come to peninsular bring the midin vege also..i wanna taste it..hehe
better still plant it in yr owjn garden?
ha ha, midin not foochow food la, maybe more likely to be food of the natives… but that foods looks too little for that price la…
i not rich i go to cheap placelah…the same place we had sibu bloggers meet with monkey wong n jam n the others
midin is quite good. I have seen it in the U.S. (San Francisco), and I would guess you can also find it in Seattle and Vancouver.

i didnt know that
I think anything cooked with belachan and chili will taste delicious. midin looks like asparagus, midin is the minature size ferns instead of the large monsters which they call asparagus in UK. Asparagus is young fern with the tips still folded up. They will come into season at spring.
i am not quite sure what asparagus is
aiks! how come cannot see pikchures wan?
aiyo when u become blind huh?
I haven’t tried that midin vege, but I like veges cooked with belacan esp kangkong belacan
wuah, mouth watering! 
Only that little boy is camera concious, how about others? hehe…
i took a lot of pics but
midin power!
hahah it is like i am promoting midin hahaha
I’ve tried that before when I visited some villages in the Pedalaman for missions trip. It’s very nice. RM100 is sooo cheap!
Maybe you can start teaching your KL visitors FooChow lor.

I think I’ve seen midin before but have not eaten it.
trust me it tastes great with belacan n cili
