What to see/do in Sibu?

Am heading to Sibu this weekend for a coupla days. Googling "what to do in Sibu" and "Sibu attractions" haven't really given me many ideas.

Actually this is a return-to-hometown trip, 'cept this's the first time in almost a decade since I've been there. Parents' hometown would perhaps be more apt. Have been looking forward to all the food:

~ kampua noodles (though its also available in Taipan) -- more authentic in Sibu, plus they don't put so much char-siew

~ Laksa -- er, Taman Megah has a stall offering decent Sarawak laksa if anyone's ever interested

~ "tiang-piang-ngu" (darn, Foochow dialect's kinda diff to translate) -- something not available outside of Sibu (?). Actually I don't even remember how it tastes like but knowing my mother, this's prob something we'll eat right after we get off the plane :)

~ kom-piah -- wanna eat it freshly baked for once (cos everytime i eat this, its only after its travelled the hundreds of miles back to PJ hence is cold and hard and tasteless)

~ paku (a kind of vege/fern) yeah I like this, and its also not available in PJ/KL

~ tang-yuen (I remember the black sesame filling ones I had on the last visit, complete with syrupy soup?)

~ Sugarbun's fish burger (believe it or not before Sugarbun opened in Peninsula, we used to crave for this. Err.. a long time ago, it seemed to taste alot better in the large 3-lot Sibu Sugarbun outside Tanahmas hotel) its prob still there..

~ bamboo clams (unappetisingly described as "worms" by one review) apparently its quite a delicacy in Sarawak.. have eaten it before in S'gor though..

Phew quite a long list, and maybe more. OMG the amount of things we'll be stuffing into ourselves over the few days..mother seems to already be planning for what we're having each meal hehhe ie "tiang-piang ngu" on the first day, then on third day,so we'll get to eat it at least twice. Breakfast go "pa-lak" (their slang meaning "market/town") for kam-pua etc etc etc.

Now the other question -- whats there to do?? Being in Kuching would've meant I'd get to visit Bako/Damai or something. But Sibu..?? An express boat ride upriver doesn't sound so agreeable now that I (think I've) sighted the crocodile last week in Muar. Erm the mighty Rejang River is known to be home to massive crocs (i've learnt they're called "bai-yak" in hokkien?). Imagination working overtime le.. Prob go Kapit/Sarikei/Mukah haven't decided yet.

There isn't enough time to do much of the nature/bio-tourism thingy, nor enough time to get to Kuching and back (travel time's too long). Options are prob just the Sibu town, and maybe a ride to Bintulu and back? So far I've gathered the attractions incl the 7-storey pagoda, Tua Pek Kong Temple (which I'm not very interested in seeing that I'm a Christian), Jubilee Park..

Suggestions anyone? I'll be there for 4 days.
