Iconic Seahorse

#familytrips2024 A nice place for photos. Every city has an iconic place for photos, and in Miri, it is just next to the Pullman Hotel, called Miri Waterfront. It's quite a relaxing place and watching the coming and going of the occasional boats is quite hypnotizing too. 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.

Cozy Cafe With Interesting Twist of Taste

#familytrip2024 #deliciousfood #awesomepic With that being said, I found this cafe has quite interesting menu than I usually had. I am a fan of lalapan dish but it is famous and usually to be paired with chicken. When I saw they have lalapan pork, I knew instantly I had to try it. In terms of taste of the meat, pork itself crispy, meat and fats together makes it juicy, fatty and tasty. The sambal was accaptable for me, but I prefer spicier and more seasoning. The cafe not only serve asian food but there’s also quite a few option to choose from. I had this aglio olio which top with cherry tomato, I did enjoyed it! In terms of price, it slightly above price range especially the lalapan pork.

Sugirl Please Studio Cafe

#familytrips2024 Wonderful little cafe serving up some of the most interesting macaroon flavors, bagels, tea, coffee and other beverages there is to be had. Just to peak in and see the display and the layout was truly outstanding. The cakes, desserts and bagels are yummy. A great place for conversation and photo shooting. Can't wait to go back for a light lunch. Highly recommended! 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. #miri #cuticutimalaysia

Hollywood Style MIRI Signboard

#hiddengems A copy of Hollywood is none other than this Miri sign. A giant ‘MIRI’ sign located atop Canada Hill. This hill is around 180 metres above sea level. So it's a great place to sit there and just enjoy the view of the city. The local city council spent around a million ringgit or around USD 250K to have this landmark erected here. It took around a month to complete. This sign can be seen from the window of an airplane high from above. We enjoyed the sunset with this giant sign. Highly recommended if you drop by Miri.

Interesting Taste of Fusion Cuisine at TAVN

#myfoodies As a pasta and spicy food lover, I was excited to order the spaghetti mala (with smoked duck) for myself which has a good balance of creaminess from the sauce. Pasta was perfectly cooked, they were generous with the cheese and smoked duck but not overwhelmed though. The taste from smoked duck mixed so well with the pasta that it gives a really nice smell and taste. As for my partner, he had the truffle lamb chahan. It was really good as well, smokiness of the lamb also mixed so well with the fried rice, I can’t describe exactly the feeling when I had my first bite, but it is one that I would really recommend. Overall, I enjoyed my food as much as I enjoyed the vibes the restaurant gave.

THEY ARE THE BEST! Whenever I’m in Miri, I never miss out to go and eat at this restaurant. However, this restaurant has an open air concept, it might be hot and sunny on some days, but worry not, the food will make you forget about the heat! Sadly, the opening hour for this restaurant is only limited from Morning until early afternoon which is around 2pm or 3pm. Do come and try their foods. No regrets! #foodie

My Favorite Café for Bagel Lovers

#favouritecafe Tototomato Cafe has the perfect vibe that makes it one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy a good meal. It’s a must-visit for bagel lovers, offering a fair variety of freshly made bagels at reasonable prices. The cafe is clean, cozy, and has a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. While the seating is more suited for small groups, with only two tables available for larger groups of 6-7 people, they do accept reservations. I highly recommend booking in advance if you’re planning to visit with a bigger group. The warm and inviting environment reminds me of why I love cafes like this—it’s not just the food, but also the chill and comforting vibe that makes the experience so special. Hopefully, in the future, they’ll add more seating for larger groups so even more people can enjoy dining in this lovely space. If you’re a fan of bagels and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, Tototomato Cafe should definitely be on your list. It’s a gem for any café enthusiast!

it’s a vibrant and bustling commercial and entertainment hub. The area is renowned for its dazzling deco.

Piasau Nature Reserve Ranger Station

#travellerswonderland Very good service from the staff, they accompanied us to walk the nature reserve and explain the history and background. But you need to be early else you won't be able to see the hornbill due to hot weather. Though I could not meet the hornbill but it is still a good experience for myself. They have a small exhibition hall which provide an excellent cool down place after the nature walk, you could see "Faridah" specimen in the exhibition hall too, a condolence if you can't see any live hornbill 😅
