My second trip to Vietnam was just as wonderful as the 1st visit; however, this trip I get to visit another town/city - HaiPhong - which was about 2.5 hrs drive from Hanoi. Its was a beautiful drive from Hanoi, passing through all the small towns, paddy fields, etc. Reminded me of Sibu, maybe 40 years ago.

The large crowd at the Ruai Dayak.

The food stalls ...

I forgot to take pictures of SIDS & my stalls, selling crafts and food, respectively! So if your in Sibu, do stop at the various Dayak stalls AND especially the SIDS stall and support us by buying some souvenirs. Enjoy the Chicken Bamboo (pansuh manok serta iya ke siti bisi meh dijual bala, tang nanya belalai ;) ) and the various type of food. Your will find bbq prawns (fresh) also at my stall!

So as you can imagine, my family and I (once again I forgot to take pictures, as I was too excited and enjoying the food too much!!) had dinner at the BCF stall of pansuh, bbq fish, kebab, rojak, and for dessert 'penyaram'. Yummmmyyy!!!

So friends, do come to Sibu for this week and if your there, look for me at Stall No. 5 or somewhere near; as I am constantly moving around!
