Food binging in Open Air Market

It was a Tuesday, the 3rd day of business. After closing shop at 3pm, we went home for a quick shower and then headed to Open Air Market to collect our order.



We made order of 200 sio bee (Kuching siu mai) with this well known Sin Kwang Heng in Open Air Market. And minimum order for delivery is 500 but we decided to try with 200 numbers first. So we needed to collect them from the stall in Open Air Market.  

Hubby and I went to pick Jan from her school as she finished around 345pm that afternoon so we headed straight to Jalan Power. Lucky star on our side as we managed to find a parking spot in ever packed area. 

As we were early and the order wasn't delivered from factory yet, we decided to take a break and enjoy some food while waiting for the sio bee to arrive for collection which was 430pm. 

As you could see, some stalls were opened while others usually later in the evening. Not many crowds too but somehow hubby bumped into his old primary school classmate who happened to be in Kuching for holiday with her family. They were looking for local food but not all stalls opened yet at that time.


I used to order my drink from this stall when I was young. Surprisingly it still there. Few selection of dessert drinks such as white lady, cincai sarsi but I settled for the matterhorn. 

My Matterhorn for RM3.50!! Good and refreshing to take on a hot afternoon. Cendol, glass jelly with a lemon slice and some longan in a bowl of chilled shaved ice!! 


We shared this RM9 sotong kangkung from a stall next to Lock Ann. And bought a pack and a fruit rojak (also RM9). 


And we also ordered ourselves few Sim Kwang Heng sio bee to enjoy while waiting for our 200 wholesale sio bee to arrive. Of course not forget its fresh soya bean as well but I didn't took shot of it. We bought few bottles of soya bean so could enjoy at home. 



Hubby saw a stall across from where we seated, a lady was making, wrapping and selling chai kueh so he was tempted to buy. Ended buying 2 packs!! 

After done talking to hubby's classmate, collected our sio bee and food binging in Open Air Market, we took our leave as needed to pick up Jay from school. By then the rain started to pour. It was a wet Tuesday evening when we drive away from this part of the city. The history, the old times. Felt good to go back to the place I patronised as a kid. We used to hang out at Electra House, enjoy food (mostly dinner) at Open Air Market which is just across the road.

Hope your 200 siew mai is not enough to cater for your patrons... Next round 500!

I still love going to the Open Air to this very day - our favourite hangout place in the 60's and 70's...other than St Micheal's Canteen. You know that place? Where young people used to hang out!
