Café Café
Tucked down the street in the shadow of the towering pagoda, this local hotspot puts a modern spin on the traditional kedai kopi. Excellent local fare (and a smattering of designer coffee beverages) is served up amid bodacious decor and flickering candles.

Tua Pek Kong Temple
Tua Pek Kong Temple is an interesting riverside Chinese temple where, if you’re lucky, you’ll find Mr Tan Teck Chiang in attendance. Mr Tan will give you a tour of the temple and explain (in lavish detail) his interpretation of Taoism and Buddhism. You can also scale the seven-storey pagoda to get a brilliant view over the town and the muddy Batang Rejang as it makes its way seaward.

New Capital Restaurant
If you feel like a splurge, this brilliant Chinese eatery is sure to satisfy, with excellent fresh fish, meat and vegetable dishes. We recommend the butter prawns and stir-fried midin washed down with a fresh fruit juice.

Civic Centre Museum
The Civic Centre Museum tells the story of settlement along the Rejang through displays on the indigenous Melanau, Malay and Iban cultures and the Chinese settlers. To get here, take Sungei Merah bus 1A or 4 (90 sen) from the local bus station on the waterfront; the museum is down the side street by a petrol station.

Victorious Cafe
Dine under the gaze of the Sibu Swan at this popular mostly Chinese kedai kopi (coffee shop). There’s a stall here that makes a smoky and wonderful plate of kway teow (rice noodles), which you can wash down with a nice iced lemon tea.

Mist Garden
The unusual Mist Garden is a refreshing patch of green amid the busy roads, moistened by cooling artificial sprays and appealingly neon-lit at night.

Hai Bing Seafood & Coffee Shop
Two outlets for the price of one: go cafe-style streetside or head indoors for Chinese air-con eating. The special mixed vegetables (RM2) come with added seafood and are served in a hefty doughy ‘nest’; it’s nearer a main than a side order.

Little Roadhouse
Unlike much of Sibu's nightlife, which leans towards karaoke and underclad young ladies, this balcony restaurant and 'fun pub' is good for a quiet beer, wine or steak.
