Eat Till You Drop @ King Kong BBQ Steamboat Sibu

Looking for an "Eat till you drop" yet affordable kind of feast in Sibu? Yes.. actually you have many choices, but what I'm going to share this time is a new (operated for roughly 6 months) eatery hidden at an unexpected building. I'm not sure how many Siburians have actually aware of its existence.

It is called "King Kong BBQ Steamboat". From the name itself, you would roughly know what kind of cuisine that are serving here. No! Definitely they didn't serve King Kong meat! What I mean is the "BBQ Steamboat"!

Located at the rooftop of 11th floor SMC Multi-storey Car Park of Sibu Central Market, the place is not easy to discover. However, the big red LED notice board placed at a higher place of the rooftop is somehow quite eyes-catchy and one can spotted it once you drive through Jalan Bengkel, from the direction of KTS group to Pansar Group office buildings.

I have a chance to try out feasting at the eatery about weeks ago with some friends. As it is inside the building of multi-storey car park, looking for parking space is not a problem at all. You can just drive all the way to the 10th floor of the carpark and with just stone throw distance of walking, you will reach the place. Just that bear in mind, parking is not free. you need to pay some bucks for parking inside the building as usual!

The moment stepped into the place is a shock! It's just like you found another world on the heaven!! (I mean an eating heaven!) As I went on weekend, the place was flooded by patrons. Even though the place is big enough, but it was almost full house!

6 of us in a group... we hardly found a table with good fengshui to sit down. After some search and pick... we finally got one. Upon sitting down, an usher came to us to record down how many of us in a group. Please bear in mind, there is a time limit for each entry. One have only 2 hours of eating time per entry and if exceed the time, a certain amount of charges will be applied per head basis. The time of entry will be recorded down by the usher.

This is a down point of the eatery, but with the charges of RM13.90 per head, you can't complain much. Another eatery with similar business model charged RM20 per head with unlimited eating time.

Another thing surprised me a bit is that they're actually using charcoal as the heating medium instead of gas-powered cooking stove or electronic stove. Is it because charcoal is more cost effective or it is just a matter of choice of cooking method, it is up to you to judge. But what I am sure is that using charcoal definitely involve more tedious and hard works to prepare and the proprietor has "specialists" doing that. I think we just waited for around 5 minutes or so for the BBQ steamboat tools to reach our table.

The 1st impression I had on the BBQ steamboat pans when they're served onto our table is that they look like Korean BBQ style where the BBQ part is at the rounded protruding surface at the center of the pan and the broth part is at the sunken surface on the edge. It is some sort like an "upside down" version of the BBQ Steamboat that I had at another eatery before where the center is for steamboat and the grill is at the side.

As for the foods... for BBQ and steamboat purposes, there are variety of raw foods for you to choose ranging from marinated pork, chicken, beef  to limited seafood, variety of cold storage processed foods such as sausages, fish balls as well as fresh vegetables, bean curds, eggs and all those "standard" steamboat ingredients. Take as many as you can... but the only condition is make sure you can finish them! Wasting of foods is subject to extra charges!

If you are hungry and couldn't wait for the grilled foods to be cooked, there are ready foods such as fried rice, fried noodles, fried kway tiaw and fried beehoon - the 4 kings of foods ready for you. You can fill your stomach while taking your time enjoy the process of food grilling, a.k.a. BBQ!

As for the steamboat part.. the area to contain the broth is rather shallow and narrow, therefore is up to your creativity how you gonna boil the foods with bigger size in the broth. The structural design of the steamboat pan causing the sauces from the marinated meats to drip into the broth when doing the grilling, thus will cause the broth's salty level to be increased linearly over time.

There are free flow beverages as well but it is in a D-I-Y style where ingredients such as red beans, green beans, cendol, jellies, basil seeds a.k.a. the frog eggs, coconut milk, syrup and etc etc to produce the beverages are places in several big bowls. Yes... again... use your creativity to produce a drinking mixture and you can give the beverage whatever name you like! Free flow ice cream are available as dessert.

As a conclusion, if you are looking for a good place to "eat till you drop" yet not "hurt" your purse too much, perhaps this King Kong BBQ Steamboat can be a good consideration. The open air environment and its location on the rooftop provides natural cool air ventilation thus the place is not too hot even without air-conditioners besides you can see part of Sibu's scenery from a higher altitude.

The only few things that not favored me are the slow refilling frequent of foods as well as the insufficient way of beverage been served and also the 2-hour time limit. 

Oh ya... forgot to mention just now... if you need that little bit of private space, perhaps there are minor parts of the eatery been designed for the purpose.

For more information you can visit there Facebook fanpage. The operating hours is only from 5.30pm-10.30pm.

Honey Lemon Cafe & Zakka @ Jalan Pedada, Sibu

Been out of idea where to have a decent lunch during the Merdeka afternoon. After hearing some advices and recommendation from friends, finally decided to try out this one called "Honey Lemon Cafe & Zakka" located at Jalan Pedada, the building just next to Shell petrol station opposite Delta Mall Sibu.

It is still consider quite a new eating place in Sibu. Before this, it was called FeFe Cafe & Zakka which I heard was operated by a different owner. But somehow for whatever reasons, after some short period operating, the eatery stopped its business and it was taken over by a new owner who changed the name FeFe to Honey Lemon.

Until this point, have you ever wonder what "Zakka" actually means? After I Google about it, only I found out that the word "Zakka" is actually come from a Japanese word zak-ka which brings the meaning of many things. According to Wikipedia, the term refers to everything and anything that improves your home, life and appearance.

That explain why at a front corner of the shop, there is a shelf where many "little" things been placed on it. I am not sure if the owner rented out the shelf just like the concept of those "Pigeon Holes Shop" which is a trendy business concept in Sibu nowadays or it was used by the restaurant owner to sell those "little things" himself. Perhaps I should find it out if there is a chance for the next visit.

Once you stepped into the restaurant, you will notice it actually divided into two sections. The one on the right is painted ocean blue, which uses antiques and Sibu's old days photos as its main decoration. This section of restaurant should be inherited from the previous owner. It brings back a lot of nostalgia feeling dining here.

Another section on the left side of the restaurant appeared to be more cheering feel where the wall has been painted bright yellow-lemon color which suits the theme of the restaurant! At a corner of this section there is an artistic wooden chair with a huge lemon tree picture as background where customers can take photos as a remembrance while dining at the restaurant. A good idea indeed for customers to remember this restaurant.

Enough about the appearance of the restaurant. Now we talk about the most important part - the foods serving. In fact, I was there to try out their signature chicken burger after I heard some good recommendation from a friend about this "VERY BIG portion burger with 3 layers of meats plus sausages"!

However, when I try to place order, the staff told me they're temporarily halt the serving of all the western cuisine on their menu for an unknown reasons, properly is because out of some ingredient according to her. A major disappointment!!

As such, I have to opted for other "non-western" foods. The Chicken Cheese Baked Rice on the menu somehow caught my eyes as I am a cheese lover. Although it is grouped under western cuisine, but surprisingly this dish is available!

The food is served in a boat-shape ceramic bowl instead of in rattan steamer (a more common way of serving this dish in my food hunting experience) but it doesn't bother me much as this is just a presentation matter. Personally feel the taste is OK, but will be better if the cook can apply thicker cheese and let it melts into the rice. The deep fried chicken topping the rice is a little too dry but the portion is quite generous. With RM10.90, it is consider quite cheap if compare to other restaurants in town who serving the similar dish but improvement needed to make it more value added to the customers.

The nasi lemak is something I will recommend as far as the "non-western" cuisine is concern in the shop. The rice has a strong coconut milk fragrance which is actually a must for a good serving of nasi lemak but it's hardly found nowadays since the coconut milk price keep increasing. The sambal taste mixed well with the nasi lemak, but personally i prefer to have more sambal given probably because I am a huge fan of sambal!

Besides the nasi lemak's standard side ingredients, such as ikan masin (salted fish), peanuts and cucumber slices, the plate also comes with 2 fried chickens, one sausage and some keropok (snacks) which make the RM8.90 spent worth the money. If you have nothing better to choose, perhaps this will be a good choice.

The "zhou cai hung ngang" (rice vermicelli cooked with foochow style marinated vege) comes in big portion, but mom who is the huge fan of this dish commented that it is over-sour due to the use of cooking vinegar in the serving.

I strongly agree with that. Zhou cai hung ngang tastes nice and original with a bit of "natural sourness" from the marinated vege but the taste will spoil when "artificial sourness" been added such as using the vinegar to boost the odor. The fish added to the dish also not that tasty. Despite the 2 imperfectness in this traditional Foochow cuisine, it is still consider as a decent zhou cai hung ngang that worth eating. RM7.90 is the price and you can choose either to add fish or prawns.

I also ordered a side dish, the stir fried bitter gourd with salted eggs. Not bad at all in term of taste and presentation, but personally feel it lacks of salted eggs. RM6.90 per serving and it is enough for 3 people.

As for the beverages, I went for the Six Tastes Iced priced RM4.90. The "Six tastes" ingredients include lemon slice, dried red dates, grass jellies, longan, Nata de coco and some other jellies. It is a very refreshing and cooling drink which I highly recommend. However, personally feel the cup used is a bit too small and I had a hard time trying to mix and melt the shaved ice in the beginning.

The red bean ice doesn't have too much surprise in term of taste, a typical red bean ice but it comes in a big glass and generous portion of red beans. RM4.90 is the price and it is consider reasonable since the amount of volume given is more than a typical serving, at least from the size of the glass used, I have this feeling.

All in all, Honey Lemon Cafe & Zakka is a good place to have a decent meal with friends or families. The ample parking space as well as the relaxing ambiance of its interior have left me with a good impression towards the restaurant. However, the variation of foods need further improvement to give wider choice to the customers and most importantly, ensure their returns.

I'll definitely plan for 2nd visit to try out other foods in their menu, especially the western cuisine.

Tom Yam Fish Rice Vermecilli @ Yong Chuan Fish Noodles House

It is never being easy to acquire a decent Tom Yam dish in Sibu as the cuisine is not on the top favorite's list among the people of Swan City.

However, there are still some eateries who specialized in Tom Yam based dishes which get quite positive response from the locals. One of them is this one called "Yong Chuan Fish Noodles House" near Jaya Li Hua Commercial Center, Jalan Pahlawan area, behind Good Happiness Restaurant building, just beside Wikitea Sibu.

Just as its shop's name, this eatery is specializing in fish based noodles. I had been hearing about their Tom Yam soup base fish noodles which happened to be "delicious" quite few years ago, but only today I have a chance to go and try it out.

I heard that the eatery is flooded with patrons most of the time who are craving for their fish noodles variants, until a point that at peak hours, customers have to practice self-service as in fast food restaurants where they have to queue up to order the foods, then carry their own foods to their table before start eating.

I also heard about the unfriendliness and arrogant attitude of the owner which after I experienced it myself, it happens to be quite true as when I ordered the food directly from the taokenio (the lady boss), she gave me a very cold and unfriendly facial expression and response. But who care? Normally this kind of situation frequently heard on those eateries with overwhelmed business, but their business (money) still never stop flowing in. So attitude is not always a problem, isn't it?

About the self-service stuff, I discovered it is quite true also since at the time of my visit where it was still early with not many customers around, some of the patrons ordered and carried the foods bowl by bowl all by themselves without been served. Bet those are the regular customers who clearly aware the culture of the eatery while the first timer like me just sit there reading newspaper while waiting for the food to reach my table! :p

I ordered a bowl of Tom Yam fish rice vermicelli which is consider a signature dish there. Actually their main dish is not noodles, but the wider version of rice vermicelli or local Foochow called it "Hung Ngang". See their advertisement in the shop, all the fish-base serving is about Hung Ngang and not the Mee. Of course if you are not too favor about rice vermicelli, you can opt for Mee... I presume! ;)

The Tom Yam soup has a very strong lemon grass smell, not too spicy nor sour which I believe it will be lacking of some "kicks" for the die hard Tom Yam fans out there and may be considered as not thick enough, but for average eaters, it should be something more acceptable with Tom Yam taste to satisfy their taste buds.

I am not sure what is the exact fish used in the dish, it's like some "white fish" texture, but definitely they're boneless, lightly fried to the golden and don't have bad smell. Besides fish fillets, the oval shape stuffs are actually some homemade porky meat paste which are very sweet and fresh, and they're quite tasty yet a little salty.

One bowl of regular Tom Yam fish rice vermicelli is RM6 which is "highlighted" on the display board with paper tape. Oh... it's so because of inflation's fault lah... whereby before this I heard it is just RM5 per bowl.

You can order the version with big prawns, but I am not sure at all about the price.

If you like Tom Yam, you should go and give it a try since you don't have much choice of the dish in Sibu. If there is any chances for revisiting in the future, I think I would like to try the "Foochow style marinated vege + fish rice vermicelli" a.k.a. "zhou cai hung ngang", which I saw some customer ordered and I could smell the strong Chinese red wine! Yummy!

“Raw Meat Noodles" @ Wan Li Sheng Rou Mee Sibu

I realized that it has been a while since my last update of this blog. Perhaps this is my first post of the year of horse!! Bear in mind... I never give up to update this blog yet even though the frequencies might have been cut down..... yeah.... a lot! :p

So this post is about the latest food I tried. I am not sure what is its proper term in English, but if direct translate from its Chinese name 生肉面, it's acceptable to call it "Raw Meat Noodles".

Raw meat?? Are you serious?? Well... actually the meat or to be more precise it is the pork are not raw at all. They're well cooked! The cuisine is from Sabah (if I'm not mistaken).

Now, Sibu has an eatery selling the cuisine. The shop is called Wan Li Sheng Rou Mee located at Medan Commercial Center area, the shoplot behind Junction Cafe.  It has been quite a while they opened for business, but this is my first trial to the pretty much shared and discussed food among my friends on social media.

The noodles come with 2 variants. The wet and the dry. I opted for the dry version which consists of a bowl of dry-toss noodles and a separate bowl of pork broth. As for local adaptation and favors, the dry-toss noodles is actually the Sibu locals most favorite food - the Kampua Mee!

As for the noodles part, I have not much comment since I have plenty of choices for a better Kampua serving in town, such as Sing Hin Corner! The specialty and selling point of the "Raw meat noodles" a.k.a. Sheng Rou Mian is actually on the thinly sliced pork and also its broth.

The pork is something that surprised my taste buds. They're so thin, smooth and soft until a point that they can be easily torn apart without any chewing effort! Frankly this is my first time having pork with such feeling. I am wondering if they just pour the hot and boiled soup onto the thinly sliced raw meats which make them just nice to be cooked with such soft texture, and that's where the name "raw meat noodles" came from?? If someone can enlighten me on this.... emmm...

The fresh pork's broth supposed to be sweet and tasty with some green vege been added in it, but I am not sure why the one served on my table has not much taste with some herb taste. The one I bought home is totally different and much more tastier! I am wondering if Ajinomoto is the culprit?? :p

I personally not in favor of the own-made free flow sour sauce they supplied which is made by whole lime including its rind. It's too sour and not spicy, my opinion.

One thing I like about this coffee shop is that the environment is clean with foods and beverages price been displayed big and clear on the wall. This is an added point to the shop and indirectly it can prevent some "miscalculation issue" that sometimes did happened at some eateries. Furthermore, it also gives a clear direction to the customers where their every single cent had been spent. Thumbs up for this!!

However, the con is that serving speed is a little slow, slightly below Sibu standard relative to the customers visiting the eatery as per time but still acceptable if you're not rushing for time.

One more thing I would like to complain is that the cook is not generous at all at giving the broth. See the one I ordered which only half full with such small bowl size. But the one I bought home seems to be more generous. Perhaps the eatery should improve on the standard!

Oh ya... for those who is looking for a comfortable and cold environment, this is just a normal coffee shop style without air-cond, but they have sufficient electric fans hanging on wall. The place is quite cool if you visit in the morning.

A set of Sheng Rou Mian either it is dry or wet version priced at RM5 respectively. You can order its special version for RM8. 

If you never being to Sabah before and you heard much about the Sheng Rou Mian, perhaps this is currently the only place to try it out in Sibu! Cheers and Happy Labours Day to all my readers!

中国探亲之旅后记 （九） 广州之旅+完结篇

2013年11月6日（三）

一觉醒来，很快就来到大伙儿中国探亲之旅的最后一天了。梳洗完毕后，一早就到位于酒店三楼的餐厅准备享用早餐。今早的早餐，终于不再是以“微餐”式，而是可以“自由发挥”的自助式！太棒了！

不过话说回来，其实食物种类选择也不是那么多，不过自助式就是有它的爽度在，爱吃的食物就多拿、多吃一点，吃得有满足感，但千万不可以浪费食物哦！

吃饱后回房提行李，到电梯前等电梯到酒店大厅集合。说到富驿时尚酒店的电梯，大伙儿就大吐口水！怎么说呢？因为它的电梯不懂是因为没定时维修或是有其他原因，只要多几个人步入电梯，电梯就会“哔哔”作响，不关上门，也无法操作！

说到这里，大家可能认为说“小胖你太山芭佬了吧！这根本就是超重了嘛！”，对吗？其实大伙儿起初也是这么认为的。不过想想看，电梯允许的重量是超过一千公斤，就五六个一般体型的大人，再加上几个行李箱，总不会超过一千公斤吧？！！你以为行李箱里都是金条咩？？！！

再说，一群人步入电梯，本来没事，电梯正常操作。下了一楼，门被打开后，要再度被关上，电梯就开始“哔哔”作响，无法操作了！ 就要等其中一人走了出去，电梯才能够继续操作！这是什么样的一个道理？重量没加没减，除非有“阿飘”加了进来，但“阿飘”应该没重量吧！！

进进出出电梯，弄得小胖我超生气！索性提了行李直接走楼梯下酒店大厅！！随后到的小舅也按捺不住心中的气，直接走到柜台向服务员做出投诉，希望酒店能够针对此事做出改善！

就不提不开心的事了！大伙儿上了旅巴，就要往广州这大城市前进。不过在出发到广州之前，方导游先安排大伙儿来到深圳莲花山公园内的深圳经济特区建立三十周年纪念园做参观。

这景点没啥好看。就是一个空气清新、环境优美，规模非常大的公园。在这里看见了一棵由胡锦涛亲手种植的树，小胖我不懂是什么树。

其实莲花山公园里还有一个景点，那就是邓小平邓爷爷的铜像。不过据说如果要看这铜像，需要走上山，费时应该在十至十五分钟。一大清早大伙儿提不起这个劲，再加上莲花山不是主要观光景点，大伙儿不会逗留太久，而且方导游也只是为了一圆行程表上的编排，所以大伙儿选择不上山，就在纪念公园附近走走看看、呼吸新鲜空气就成了。

三姨小舅还一时兴起，看见公园里有一群人开着火热的音乐跳健康舞，也跟着动了起来！

大伙儿只逗留了短短的十分钟。大约早上九点钟就上了旅巴，到下一个景点去。十点左右到达东莞市的虎门镇。 山芭佬的小胖在这之前从来都没听说过”东莞”这个地方，更不用说什么“虎门镇”了。

小胖后来才知道，原来东莞虎门这地方是颇有来头的！ 它是一个世界批发中心，也是便宜成衣批发的大本营！导游告诉大伙儿如果只是普通入店购买，价钱也不会特别便宜，但是如果是做批发的，价钱肯定便宜很多。中国国内售卖的成衣，大多数都是从这地方批发出去的！

旅巴把大伙儿载到一个叫黄河时装城的商场。黄河时装城是这一区里规模最大的中高档时装批发及零售中心。一踏入商场内就是仿佛一望无际的服装商店。从南到北、从东到西，有男装、女装、童装、鞋子等，可说是琳琅满目、目不暇给！

对喜爱时尚、服装及购物的一群来说，这里简直就是不折不扣的人间天堂啊！不过很可惜的是，这个时候中国是秋天，而且就快转冬天了，因此大多数摆卖的时装，包括衬衫都是以长袖及保暖为主，不太适合马国四季如夏的天气，所以选择非常有限。

小胖我不是什么服装达人，对时装这一门可说是“唔凉波抓”，只有在必要时才会花时间选择购买，所以只是走走看看，当然更重要的还是看看商场里各式装扮的妹子，感觉很好！

方导游给大伙儿大概一个小时多一点的时间逛，不过看来对有心要挑选及购买服装的来说，的确有点短促了。 别说是一个小时，就算逛上半天应该还是“啥啥水”啦！

好吧！大概十一点四十五分，大伙儿都上了旅巴，先去把肚子填饱，然后再到广州市去！午饭地点是一个叫今一靓汤的餐馆。方导游吩咐了餐馆准备一个容得下十五位食客的大桌，到场时才发现桌子不怎么够大，再加上有靠背的木椅比较占位，根本就放不下十五张椅子。

后来大伙儿为了不太为难导游，就叫服务生把一些木椅换成塑胶凳子，勉强挤下十五个人。大伙儿只好“肩贴肩”坐着吃午饭。还好菜色方面还合胃口，而且种类多，要不然可能会想骂人了！哈哈！

填饱肚子后继续上路赶往广州。

一来到广州市，旅巴就直接把大伙儿载到广州宝树堂，又是进店的行程！不过话说回来，虽然是“进店”，不过这次进店可是半自愿的。怎么说呢？

其实在大伙儿来中国的行程里就写有“宝树堂”这定点购物。大伙儿对“宝树堂”这药业公司的名字非常有亲切感，因为该公司所推出的“宝肤灵”药膏是家里必备。它对烫伤、烧伤可以起很有效的作用，获得好评。所以这次亲临中国，就希望能到宝树堂一趟，买一些宝肤灵回去家乡，才会有“不枉此行”的feel。

走进宝树堂，还是一般的进店迎接仪式，服务员列队欢迎，之后被带入一间备有椅子的房里，端上茶水，就把房门关起来，由一位专业人员向大伙儿介绍公司的产品。介绍的重点不在宝肤灵，可能是因为这药膏已经颇有名气，所以也不多介绍。

介绍完毕之后，服务员请了医师进来帮有需要的“免费”看诊。两人一个医师，被安排到各自的房间看诊。小胖我才不跟他们玩这套！这种看诊被摸一摸肯定被诊断周身都是病，之后肯定又要花一大笔钱购买该公司的仙丹来保健！所以拒绝了免费看诊这“好意”。

没看诊的大伙儿到柜台处购买宝肤灵药膏。这时小胖发现刚刚那位为大伙儿介绍产品的大叔不知为何，在一个房里偷偷地注视着大伙儿的一举一动，行为非常怪异可疑。口口声声说这店是国家认证的，做起生意来需要那么“老鼠”吗？

不管了。拿了货、付了钱，接下来就是走人！不过一些去看诊的亲戚就久久出不来，又是要买药，还要在房里付了钱才放人！就怕你走了出来，被亲戚们点醒，他就功亏一篑，生意做不成了！

接下来的一站，还是定点购物！这一次是位于金羊大厦内的洋和汇萃珠宝店。一入店就服务员列队欢迎，之后被引导到一间房，送上茶水，关上大门，然后由一位服务生向大伙儿介绍珠宝店的历史。

说着说着，这位服务生突然提起该公司下个月要到马国吉隆坡的Mid Valley参与珠宝展览。因此经理特别交代如果有从马国来的游客，一定要特别通知他一声，好让他能够欢迎马国朋友的莅临，也顺便恳请马国朋友的帮忙，把宣传单带回马国，帮忙公司做宣传。

话一说完，马上就吩咐另一位服务生走入房内，把刚刚说的话在那位服务生面前大声地再重复一遍，要她去通知经理一声，好像怕大伙儿听不到似的。 大伙儿犹如在看戏，不过，哇鸟耶！！这场戏也做得太假了吧！！

过了一会儿，一位身穿花衣，样子不是那么善类的男士带着笑脸走了进来，以非常重的粤语口音用中文自我介绍。他告诉大伙儿，他与香港明星万梓良同样是越南华侨，这珠宝公司是他爷爷所拥有的。昨晚他的家族开了家庭会议，决定选他为公司的新董事长！所以今天他特别开心。

他继续说“今天大家不需要购物，我会把文件拿给导游签个名就行了。不但如此，公司也准备了纪念品给大家，最重要的是大家把公司的好口碑带回马来西亚，大家开心就好了啦，系不系？“

把大伙儿都逗得开开心心，这花衣男士之后就邀请大伙儿到他的珠宝店“参观”。参观的同时也“传授”给大伙儿一些辨认珠宝的知识，甚至还“老实”地跟大伙儿分享做珠宝这一行真的很好赚！说着说着再以“大家开心就好”，以超低价的优惠把一些项链及饰品卖给大伙儿，就当着“半买半送”，也希望大伙儿能帮该公司做宣传。

果然是高招！！这是这趟中国之行那么多进店以来手法最高超的一间，小胖真是大开眼界了！ ！带你兜兜转转了一大圈，让你放下戒心，之后再以超低优惠价把产品卖给你，这一切其实都在他的掌握之中！八九百人民币的饰品以一至两百人民币的价钱卖出，只为了换取好口碑？？冷静下来后，你就会觉得这未免也太梦幻了吧！

还好小胖对饰品珠宝这一环没兴趣，再加上也没有送礼的对象，所以没花冤枉钱。 当大伙儿都从珠宝店走出来时，已是大约傍晚六时左右。方导游给大伙儿带来了一个小惊喜，那就是今晚晚餐有烤乳猪吃！不过烤乳猪需要时间准备，所以会延迟一些吃晚餐。

在乳猪还没烤好之前，方导游带大伙儿到广州的上下九步行街做最后购物。【上下九步行街是中国广州市荔湾区西关的上九路、下九路、第十甫路步行街的合称。】 整条街都是人山人海，两旁都是购物商店，以服装及饰物为主。

不过导游一早就提醒大伙儿，这里的服饰价格绝对没有早上那东莞虎门的黄河时装城便宜，毕竟这里的衣物大多数也是从那儿批发出来的！

在上下九步行街最吸引小胖目光的就是这个头戴帽子，身穿公鸡装，口吹唢呐的小贩。不懂他在卖什么，但看似非常受欢迎，获得很多顾客关顾。后来小胖在网上搜寻到原来他是在卖“鸡公榄”，广州的一种传统小吃，特别腌制加工而成的橄榄。

 大约七点三十分，乳猪烧好了！大伙儿便前往广州的三元酒家享用乳猪晚餐！乳猪在还没被砍成块时由一位服务生端到桌上，给大伙儿过目。过目满意了之后便再度被拿入厨房，砍成块状后再上桌。

至于乳猪烧得如何，小胖认为就一般吧！皮烧得有酥脆，不错啦，不过没太大的惊喜。今晚吃得那么“好料”，很大可能是因为之前大伙儿对早餐的不满所作出的投诉，经过导游跟公司交涉后所换来的补偿吧！

在中国的最后一个景点 - 看广州夜景。导游本来是强力推荐大伙儿乘船游珠江来欣赏广州夜景，不过得自己支付额外船费和导游司机的超时费。经过讨论后大伙儿认为没这个必要，所以方导游只有安排大伙儿到珠江新城花城广场欣赏夜景。

从花城广场，刚好可以清楚的眺望有“小蛮腰”之称的广州塔和2010年广州亚运会开幕式会场。再180度转身，又可看到广州国际金融中心地标性的建筑物，是看广州夜景的好去处！

在夜里的“小蛮腰”，整栋建筑物外层被变幻莫测的灯饰围绕着，与花城广场的灯饰相映成趣，五彩缤纷，让本来的就非常夺目的广州塔变得更加亮眼及娇艳，真是美不胜收！

总的来说，广州的夜景真的好美、好浪漫！如果带着妹子到这里散步谈心，肯定会坠入爱河！小胖没妹子带，不过还是希望能够逗留久一点，在这鲜艳亮丽的夜景中，自我陶醉，何尝不是一种享受呢？！

看完了广州夜景，也总结大伙儿在中国旅游的所有行程。心里有点沉重、不舍。明天一早就要前往广州白云国际机场，乘飞机回马国。

今晚的住宿为广州逸丰酒店。到达酒店，洗个澡后，大伙儿就开始收拾行李，为明天的回程做好准备，也顺便收拾好心情，重新面对现实的世界！

2013年11月7日（四）

 
这一趟的中国探亲之旅，小胖我真的获益不浅！除了更了解中国的风土人情，解开了许多“山芭佬”之谜外，也让小胖我看见了外面世界之大、之美，真是大开眼界了！

回程的亚航班机，没有娱乐设施，四个小时的行程，真是闷坏了！还好飞机上有一位年轻貌美的空姐，至少也弥补了一些遗憾！

在机上小胖点了一份RM12的马来炒面及RM6的饮料，曾几何时小胖变得那么富贵了呢？？

原来持着护照出外旅行的感觉真的是梦幻般的爽！
