Sunrise Seafood Court @ Jalan Boulevard Commercial Centre

I have never been know that behind Boulevard Mall there's so many restaurants and most of them are packed!

We came here because my friends told me that here sells a char kuey teow that is close to Penang's taste. Our group consist a lot of Penangnites and they missed char kuey teow very much!! I missed it very much of course as i'm a fan of CKT.

It does taste better than other char kuey teow i ate in Miri, closest to Penang taste...so far...  But there's one problem, even you ordered for spicy, they'll give u a small plate of chilly instead of frying with the CKT. So called the Penang char kuey teow. There's definitely some 'wok hei' there.

Something i like about this dumpling was the soup as it taste a bit alcoholic. The stuff inside the dumpling was really stingy as i felt like i'm just eating flour. gosh.

Pan Mee was seriously out. The soup was tasteless and this is the worst pan mee i've ever tasted. And the anchovies and others are just for decoration purpose i think.

 The sotong bakar and ikan bakar. We have the final agreement that the sotong bakar was way better than the stingray. I'll still prefer stingray to be cooked in Portuguese style. The chilly paste, personally i think its not spicy enough but it taste good. 

Zha Jiang Mian. Basically minced meat noodle with some cucumber, carrot and some meatballs. Another tasteless one even with the minced meat. I have to ask for vinegar and soya sauce to enhance the taste. Same stall as the pan mee, i think they're good for tasteless food. Healthy food

Oyster Omelet (Oh Jian) is very different from Penang or even Melaka style. It is a thin piece of omelet and some small little oysters inside. And instead of sweet chilly sauce, the sauce they gave is something really salty and it goes pretty well with the omelet.

Have our final meal at Dessert Master just opposite of Sunrise Seafood Court.

Desserts are pretty much the same, since i'm not really a dessert fan, i am unable to differentiate the good and bad ones.

Jing Wood Cafe @ 612 Pelita Commercial Centre, Miri

In the evening after the campus tour round 2, we went back to town for dinner. Simon recommended Jing Wood Cafe at the cross junction of Jalan Pelita because I was complaining there's not much local food at town! =S Most shops are closed.

Before that, we wanted to try Madam Wee or Sin Foh Cafe in Krokop as we heard they are famous for their sarawak laksa and homemade noodle. Went along Jalan Krokop and only manage to find Madam Wee. Unfortunately, the shop is close at 4p.m. We were late. So Jing Wood Cafe at town.

This was something i'm looking forward, Red Wine Mee Sua. Strong aromatic soup and the meat wasn't tough, this perfected my dinner at Miri today. After finishing, i could feel my body was a bit hot due to the red wine soup, did they put a lot or was i just weak to alcohol.!

 

After resting in the hotel for few hours, stomach started to growl. Did some minor research on food around Imperial Palace, found there's a famous hot plate clam kuey teow nearby. Coincidentally, it was Jing Wood! When we mention Char kuey teow, we always think about Penang. Here its different, this stalls uses hotplate instead of wok, so there will not be the "wok hei" there.

It will be unfair if we compare this to Penang's one as they are different style of method. It is unique as they fry with cockles and one thing that was familiar to me but i would not expect it to be an ingredient to this dish - shrimp belacan. Taste wise unique but i still prefer a kuey teow with a strong 'wok hei'

Some people said western food are famous here. I disagree to that. My pork chop was overcooked which resulted in chewing pork chewing gum. Would not recommend this but there's wide range of western food there and most of the table will have at least 1-2 plates of western food.
