Best Western - Lunch Buffet Experience
#buffets
We had their buffet lunch during the weekend and loved the food and service. Nice ambience and cozy, crowded with people because it's the weekend. Prawns are fresh and delicious. The lamb shank was yummy. The lunch buffet is RM65 nett, with this price, I think it's value for your money.
The food is excellent with lots of different varieties and with amazing service.The amazing experience all servers are polite and humble at all times during our interaction.
My favourite cafe in Miri!
#100waysoftravel
Bon Bon - My favourite cafe in Miri! The food and cake are good as always. Their pastries were amazing as you can really taste the high-quality ingredients used. Famous for their pastries but their main course is nice too.Food was presented simply & beautifully.
The ambience is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. Good place to catch up and business meet up.
I highly recommend stopping by!
Oppa Korean Fried Chicken
#hiddengems
Oppa Korean Fried Chicken in Miri offers an impressive variety of dishes and quick, efficient service. The dishes are served piping hot, ensuring a fresh and delicious experience. Their menu features a wide selection of drinks, catering to both alcoholic and non-alcoholic preferences.
The seafood pancake is a standout, with a perfect blend of flavors and a crispy texture that makes it a must-try. Equally impressive is the honey mustard chicken, which combines tender, juicy chicken with a delightful honey mustard sauce. Both dishes are highly recommended.
Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just looking for a great place to eat, Oppa Korean Fried Chicken in Miri is definitely worth a visit.
Hidden Gems in Lutong
#hiddengems
A hidden coffee sanctuary with good coffee and food.
Amazing coffee and delicious food! The moment you enter this cafe, you are greeted with the aroma of delicious coffee. They have a very interesting variety of coffee methods on request too, espresso, nitro, moka, pour over. They even roast their own coffee beans in the cafe! Coffee lover should pay a visit here. Good ambience too.
Kuan Heng Cafe
#hiddengems
The homemade fish cake mee is superb! I love the spicy and sour fish cake bee hoon! The cafe is always full. But the customers are always very understanding. They will quickly go off after finishing their food so that other people can have a chance to eat their delicious noodles. Everyone is also very patient to wait for their delicious food.
If you're visiting Miri, definitely worth going to have breakfast here! Highly recommended!
Miri Oil Well No.1
#malaysiatrip
A pleasant walk or drive up the hill takes you to the Grand Old Lady. It is Miri's first drilled oil well which took place in the year of 1910 by Shell Company. It is one of Miri's many main places of attraction and also act as an important monument in the eyes of the local's and definitely, the world's. There is a museum named the Petroleum Museum situated just next to The Grand Old Lady. The Grand Old Lady stands majestically on Canada Hill and makes for a good photo.

Definitely a go to place when you visit Miri. They serve one of the best cakes made locally, rum raisin cheesecake and other cakes. The cheesecakes are very rich and delicious. We ordered their hot food, biryani rice with lamb. It was so yummy and delicious.
They have good tasting lattes. Very beautiful and relaxing cafe. Perfect for brunch or casual meetings.
Lutong Beach
#beachlife
Lutong Beach is a trendy beach, great for family outings in the later afternoon for sunset. There are also some small food stalls nearby as well, selling light snacks, drinks and bbq. Wide open beach with plenty of activities to watch at.
Be a little cautious as the tides can be quite violent with waves crashing up against the beach. Great place for lepaking and a lot of choices of foods.
Best patisserie in Miri
#hiddengems
Bon Bon - Truly one of the best cakes and pastries in Miri. Very impressed by both the selection and flavours of the cakes and pastries - you can really taste the high-quality ingredients used and the level of sweetness is perfect - it's not too sweet at all. Buttery, flaky, delicious pastries! Cake mostly need to pre order and buns get sold out very fast. Highly recommended!

Miri; Catching Sunset on Top of Grand Old Lady
#familytrips2024 #awesomepic #vianasjourney
Grand Old Lady or also known as Miri Oil Well is one of the historal landmark in the city. The museum shared informations of the background/ history of oil and gas journey in Miri (museum was close when I visited this time though, do check the opening time carefully). Apart from the museum, many locals visit here to watch the sun set, jogging, hiking and even photography. Small stalls available around mostly selling light snacks. It’s pretty cool spending time here in the evening, it is windy and relaxing. Go, and give it a try.
Fun & Happening Cafe For Locals & Internationals
#familytrips2024 #deliciousfood #awesomepic
Although they claimed themselves cafe but I think this place is more suitable to be called restaurant & bar. It is a big area, both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Usually customers sit outside to enjoy varieties of food with drinks and usually those inside interested in mostly drinking as the bar is available inside. This place famous among local and even internationals, you will see plenty of people visiting this restaurant especially on friday evening or saturday evening. But even if it is too crowded, we have never had any difficulty getting a table after waiting less than 10 minutes. Take note that their kitchen close at 10pm so food are not available to order after that but feel free to enjoy drinks until 1.30am.
Famous Local Chinese Restaurant For Breakfast in Miri
#hiddengems #vianasjourney #awesomepic
This is the kind of breakfast that I would like to have every week. Many unique choices of dim sum and we while family enjoyed all of it. It is super affordable compare to many restaurants I have visited before which makes it doable for big family. Apart from the dim sum, other famous local dishes such kolok mee, and chi chong fun are also available. It can be a little bit crowded and have to wait a little for table, but staff are very effient with our orders that we can immediately eating right after getting a table. Definitely recommend this place for local chinese breakfast or even long day meal/ snacks as they even open for 24 hours. Take note that this restaurant serve non halal food.
Here are the address;

One of Oldest Hotel in Miri That Still Thriving
#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #awesomepic
I especially enjoy staying here knowing that I wanna spending some time chilling at nearby cafes or restaurant during the night. Plenty of stalls are actually open nearby, especially on Wireless Walk Miri and there is also a nearby cafe which famous among local and foreigners which called Ming Cafe that have quite late closing time. Back to the hotel, it is one of the oldest hotel, that is why the interior design and even some furniture are quite old. But regardless, it is still a decent place to stay with spacious area in the room.
Spacious Suites For Big Family in Miri
#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #awesomepic
It’s called Mciti Suites located near to Miri Bulatan Park, this apartment consist of two rooms. One is masterbedroom with it’s private toilet and shower, wardrobe and equipped with air condition. The other room is two single bed with study table in the middle. Wardrobe is spacious, equipped with air condition as well. As for the living room, the sofa can fit more than 4 people, kitchen equipped with oven, microwave, induction & gas stove. Refrigerator was big, has both freezer and fridge. Plates, bowl and cutleries was provided. Rice cooker can be request upon arrival and the staff will send it to your room. There’s a rm200 deposit has to be collected and return after check out. Overall stay was decent but I hope it can be repaint as there were plenty of dark spots on the wall. Sink could be more cleaner and I didn’t get the chance to inform the staff personally that the hot water wasn’t available on the second shower. Anyway, still a good place to stay with big family.
Best Ayam Penyet
#familytrips2024
The classic Ayam Penyet Ria is found across Malaysia. Although it has many franchises, each outlet differs slightly from the others.
The best ayam penyet in Miri. Waits can be very long during lunch hour. Authentic Indonesian food and you could really feel it in the dishes (also in the hospitality by the Indonesian staff)! They serve nasi ayam penyet, nasi iga, beef ribs with tofu, tempe, boiled vegetables and you will not regret.
I was very satisfied with their food and customer service. It’s a very popular place during the weekend .
Our dream destination is to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.
Lovely Beach to Spend Time With Loved Ones
#beachlife #familytrip2024 #awesomepic
We had a lovely time visiting Luak Esplande Beach. We managed to get a gazebo and starting to set our picnic under it. There were no fee required to enter and set a picnic area here. It seems like, first come first served basis applied to the limited gazebo and barbecue area. Although, I also noticed some visitors brought their own barbecue equipment and canopy, so that’s something you could look further into (of the rules). Beach area is pretty decent, and seems clean. Definitely another beach that I would visit again when visiting Miri.
Nice Ambience Restaurant for Special Occasions
#familytrips2024 #deliciousfood #awesomepic #vianasjourney
Finally found a premium restaurant with good qualities. From nice ambience, excellent setting of interior, great service and most importantly, delicious food. Every element in the restaurant is just go together with each other. I would definitely recommend this place especially for special occasions. I had small dinner with sister to celebrate her birthday and the staff was willingly to bring the cake with background music to our table.
I had the smoked duck for appetizer and spare ribs for main course. Although price was a bit pricey but I must say, it worth it.
Nice Place for Indoor Activities to do Especially With Family
#familytrips2024 #thingstodo #awesomepic
With a really warm weather outside, do consider this place for some activities with your family or friends. Although some equipment such the seating sofa looks old but it seems like they take a good care of it. Price wise is fair, although I would definitely advice you to bring your own socks if you decided to play the bowling. Apart from bawling, table pool and basketball game are available as well. Another tips; if you decided to go on public holiday, please make a reservation beforehand as it tends to be crowded and you might not have spot to play. Details can be found on last slide.
Great Cafe in Miri
#hiddengems
Cafe hunting time.
QAVAH by js- Great ambiance, friendly staff.
We had this bagel sandwich with egg & cheese, They warm up the bagel which makes the Sandwich very crunchy. Good to order if you're looking for light/medium food. We ordered their salad as well and it's yummy with some nuts added on. Absolutely love this place. It's my new favourite spot to grab coffee and cafe food in Miri now. My next time coming back will try their cakes and pantries.

#familytrips2024
Cozy ambiance and very friendly attentive owner that explains the details of the food and coffee. The price is reasonable! My 2nd day here this week. Nice place to go for cakes, sandwiches, bagels and drinks. I'd tried their sandwiches and seriously, it was so delicious and crispy.
Will come back for their cakes and bagels with anything, good to see food made with love. I wish to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.

Hidden Gems - Ah Hian Kitchen
#hiddengems
Hidden restaurant that you out of view from the parking area and from the main road. Food is great with reasonable prices and portions. The morning and night time menu is different. Try their vietnamese pork chop.It's awesome. Very nice and ‘different’ food served because in Miri most cafes or restaurants served practically the same kind of dishes.Highly recommend.
Kopi At Five
#hiddengems
A very nice place to have your meal, tea and hangout with friends. The place gave out a warm and comfortable ambience which made the customers feel at home while having their food. The burnt cheese cake is yummy. The owner is super friendly too.
Lovely service with a great ethos for recycling and reusing wood that was going to landfill. Highly recommended!
Bon Bon Cafe
#myfoodies
Best patisserie and cafe in Miri. Loved their pastries,cake and buns, not too sweet, and lovely design. Cake mostly needs to pre order and buns get sold out very fast. It goes without saying that a must-try here are their signature croissants. It is definitely worth a visit if you’re craving some fresh pastry goodness. They serve brunch too. Highly recommended!

One of best Lalapan in Miri Town
#wheretogo #vianasjourney #deliciousfood
Address; Jalan North Yu Seng, 98000, Miri Sarawak (Imperial)
There are two restaurant Muara in Miri as I ever tried. Both have similar food but I prefer the ambience in this area better. Of course it’s gonna be busy during lunch time but the food was worth the wait. Ordered the prawn lalapan and kambing lalapan with one can of drink which only cost less than Rm50 (two people meal). I would suggest for one that never try lalapan before to start with the original (lalapan ayam instead). Extra info, the sambal are really spicy, order a drink with your meal.
Good location hotel in Miri
#hotelreview
This has been my second stayed at this hotel, I always remember it as one of the convenient place to stay as it just connected to a mall and around the city centre. But the staff could’ve deliver friendly and welcoming service at the front counter. I have noticed a bug around my room this time but overall room was in a good condition and it’s looking towards the ocean.
A comfortable stay at Imperial Hotel Miri
#hotelreview #miri #sarawak #imperialhotelmiri
Imperial Hotel miri is located at Jalan Pos, 98000 Miri, next to Permaisuri Imperial City Mall. Good location, in the city of Miri.

Clean and provide all usual necessaries like bath towel and shampoos. There also have swimming pools and gym for exercise. Overall good and Recommended!
