I had some uni. friends that are from Sabah & Penang that travelled from Miri to visit my hometown, Sibu.

I guess the main reason there were here is because they were intimidated by my words of persuasion. LoL. I have been telling that Sibu is a food haven.

Food here are cheaper & better compared to Miri.

Where else can you in Miri get a meal that cost you Rm3.00 inclusive of food & drinks?

Below are some photos of food & drink we had at Taman Muhibah Selera, Sibu. There are around 40 food & beverage stalls operating from 6pm onwards. Most of the stalls here are operated by Chinese. However, there are some Malay stalls too.

At Taman Selera Muhibah, you have wide range of food to choose from hawker food to western food, from nasi lemak & satay to fried kueh teuy to rice con gee. You name it.

Sui Guo Bin

This is one of the famous signature beverage that are available here. 

Chicken's Feet RM0.60 each

 The pricing here is quite reasonable. You can eat all you want but I bet you won’t have to dig deep in your pocket for them

Fried Yu Tiao Rm 3.00

Kampua

Pien Niuk a.k.a. Wan tan

Kong Pia

This is one of the place that are crowded everyday. Lots of teenagers & families dine in this place. So if you do drop by Sibu town, do visit here.

Had been a week since my last post. It was a hectic week with lectures to catch up, tutorials to completed & reports to be submitted. I’ve some time now so gonna share something with you guys. Here’s a post of my new discovery of a makan place in Miri.

I was driving around town with my gf to hunt for a new place to dine & found out one outlet next to Sin Yakin (the coffee shop below Thai Bar).

The interior look kinda of Aussie pub with lots of Australians signboards. It reminds me of the pub where old men drink & watching some old ladies handing around the pool table.

This is the lamb chop served with black pepper sauce + french fries & salad. Rm19.00

I went for the BBQ pork chop.(Sorry no photos for that) Rm18.00. For a few slices of pork that was a big price to pay. Com’on, its reccesion.

The wait staff served us the salad before the main course. I like the idea of having some appetizer before any main course.

The bill came up to a total of Rm41.00 for 2 main course & a glass of iced lemon tea.

I’m not sure anyone else think so.. but I honestly thought the food is a little overpriced. +5% service charge for what?

All that I was expecting from an international renowned fast food restaurant franchise was something similar from the picturesque menu they provided.

 But , the one and only Pizza Hut in Miri town nailed my heart down to earth with their “special” or “unique” spaghetti.

Pizza Hut Miri’s Portuguese Prawn Spaghetti.

Or you can rename it as Miri’s Prawn Spaghetti. Oh ya, I forgot there was this fine print *for illustration purposes only. Bijak kan? 

Pizza Hut Miri rated by me,  3/10.

I realized I haven’t blog about the food that I’ve prepared for my love one on Valentine’s Day. I found out these pics from the archives dated almost a month ago. We’ve always wanted to try the sausages & hams from Mr Ho’s Fine Foods – (not a typo its actually spelt Foods) since the first time we went there a few months ago. So we went & bought some sausages & hams from the outlet. We’re quite amazed by the friendliness of their waiters & waitress.  Such tiny little manners & greetings were priceless. Talking about this, I wasn’t sure if anyone else suspect this but I kinda realize that more & more establishments in Miri regardless of the range of their services, there weren’t as professional as before where customers are their priority. Nowadays, these tauke-s, tauke-nios & even their workers of certain shops have the guts to be rude towards the customers.

Well, that’s it for the unfriendly customer services. Coming back to the food.  We had 1 sausage each, slices of pineapple ham & smoked ham from Mr Ho’s. The sausages tasted very nice. Once you poked with forks, all the cheese flows out from it Yummy! I particularly favours the pineapple ham rather the smoked one. In addition to the food from Mr Ho’s, I prepared some chicken stew marinated with HP sauce, Heinz Low Fat baked beans, dwarf-ted carrot & tomatoes & a bit of vegetable salads with broccoli. 

Secret Recipe Cheese Cake

Yesterday was my gf’s birthday anniversary. To surprise her and to give her some special treat for this year, I went to town while she was napping & bought& her 12 slices of assorted cheese cake from Secret Recipe, presented to her& in her room. She went head over heels to-the-max! She tasted a single bit of every slice & and she liked it so so & much.  

Marriot's Nasi Goreng

And for dinner we dined at Zest,Marriott Miri. She had Nasi Goreng which comes with the tag “Zest’s Specialty”. Frankly speaking, the expectation of the food doesn’t score as high as its price tag. Its just like ordinary local fried rice not even better. 

Marriott's Lamb Chop

 I had lamb chop. And there’s not much to comment on it.  There are rumours that praised astronomically on the quality of buffet at Marriott, saying that it is the best in Miri but I  wouldn’t give them a five-star rate just not yet perhaps.
