This is going to be a short one as I have to wake up real early tomorrow morning to catch my flight. Anyway, I'm still in Sibu now, decided to go for the RM 13 per kg of crab craze that everyone in Sibu is talking about for dinner just now. The place is Hong Fu Seafood Restaurant and Cafe, and Jesus Christ was it packed!
There were people in tables lined right along the row of shophouses, extending to the very (unlit) end. I asked for a table for two and the guy had to roll out a new table from the store room and advised me that my order would take quite a while as the long line of tables (as far as the eyes can see) has not been served yet. I decided to call it off and went to the seafood place behind it called Sweet Family Seafood instead.
The food there was alright, and the service terrible, but I still wanted to try the RM 13 per kg of crab mania that seems to be sweeping through the residents of Sibu from the looks of it. Hong Fu is the place that's doing that and it's a big crowd puller...we saw people eating just crabs for fun, it was crazy, the amount of people there. I would avoid SF and go to Hong Fu instead.
I just came back and decided to light up a couple of sparklers that I bought this afternoon while out shopping with my gf.
It's the old skool type of sparkler - wire with a coating on top that produces sparks very similar to what white phosphorus (WP) burns like. The instructions on the sparker packaging advices immersion of the spent sparklers in water to prevent spontaneous reigniting, reinforcing my belief that it's a WP or a substance containing WP.
It burns bright (white high intensity flame) and fragmented bits of it can burn the exposed skin. It has interesting potential as a source for harvesting cheap (got the sparkers in packs of 10 for RM 1) WP as a potentiator in Molotov cocktails (not that I have anything to do with those of course).
Well...my break in Sibu is over, I'm going to take a shit, get some sleep and fly back to Kuching again tomorrow.
