Foochow Burger or Kompia
Sep 23rd, 2008 by Clare
Last weekend, I went to a series of talk at church given by Dr. Jeffery Goh from Kuching who also wrote his latest book
Yeah, the talks are mostly about some Christianity stuff that most of you might not be interested in anyway
Autograph - the one on the left is Dr. Goh’s signature and the one on the right was signed by his wife, Angelina.
There was a tea break on the Saturday afternoon session, so I went to Eden’s Corner which was a stone throw away from the church for a drink. My uncle wanted some Kompia…
Or like how a stall at Kuching’s BDC Expert put it, the “Foochow Burger”! The meat in the middle was minced pork. They were not that good but beggars can’t be choosers 
Kompia is a simple salted dough, baked in traditional open oven [Suituapui, 2008] and is available all over Sibu. The famous place for kompia in Sibu is the Tiong Hua Road stall but my mom said there’s nothing special, really, about the kompia there and I have no comment on that because I haven’t been there. Well, maybe they are over-rated. Some people even sang praises of that place by saying that it sells the most authentic and best kompia in the world *rolls eyes* How can you tell that other place in Sibu are not selling the authentic kompia? They stick the same salted dough into the same traditional oven as well. And they taste like kompia. *shrug*
I am not a big fan of kompia even though this is one of Sibu’s signature food besides kampua. They taste really good fresh from the oven. I don’t like a few hours old kompia because I don’t like wrestling the kompia with my teeth. Oh, and there are kompia available at Taman Selera Muhibbah, the coffee shop below Teknik tuition school, etc. I don’t know about you but I don’t have any preference when it comes to kompia.
Hi Clare, these recent food posts are making me very hungry. It looks really good, you should be a food photographer
Jeff, time for you to take a vacation
