Soon Joo Cafe @ Lne Back Off Leboh High

I couldn't be sure of the address and got it from Google.

2nd Night at Miri. A hectic day we got, GPS doesn't work, getting lost at some point where GPS brought us to 'Holland'. Thanks to the weather, it wasn't that bad actually. Another Cari Makan time, night time! I think its kinda tough to find local kopitiam foods during night time. At first, we wanted to go to a famous chicken porridge but after driving 3 rounds at that place, we gave up, couldn't find where was it. We saw Soon Joo Cafe was open and decide 'let's just go eat there and complete our dinner'.

Since its a kopitiam and food is nowhere to be found nearby, we chose this. Super friendly aunty, chatting with us since there were not many customers at that hour. My mom even bought the raw Kolo Mee and bring back to KL, haha.

Kolo Mee again but i can assure you, this was way better than the one at 5050 Cafe. The noodles were tangy and char siew is even better but i don't think it can replace the ones in KL. It's different type of style, so no complains.

The Pork Liver Soup has a touch of alcohol as they added Shaoxin wine to enhance the taste and also remove the strong smell of the pork liver? Tell me if i'm wrong. There are generous portion of pork liver inside and totally worth the money.

 

Mee Pok was not as good as i expected, even lower. The noodle was really plain & tasteless, just added some spring onion, char siew and fried onions. I ordered this because my Kuching friend told me Mee Pok was good in Sarawak, well maybe this shop is not good for its Mee Pok. No recommended at all.

5050 Cafe @ Jalan Pelita Utama

I did not have the address for this places as i was busy recording GPS coordinate. This shop is located around Jalan Pelita Utama (behind Servay hypermart).

Once we settle down in the hotel and rest. After browsing through some of the food blog in Miri, i wrote down only a few but those places requires a car to reach. We decided to walk blindly searching for food around Jalan Pelita. Seeing all the shops close (local kopitiams) was a headache. It was around 6p.m only! But fortunately we found 5050 Cafe, that sells Kolo Mee, a local dish. We wanted to hunt for local dish instead of kfc or any overprice foods.

There's also Kacangma (only on Sunday) or curry rice but unfortunately its close. So sarawak is famous for their Kolo Mee right? Seriously, i do not know whats the best Kolo Mee should taste like but this was not bad. One thing i like was the char siew and not the Noodle, haha. I would suggest that you put some vinegar chilly around the noodle to taste better.

The one thing i will never forgot is the owner of the shop. In West Malaysia, there's 'Cham Ice' (tea + coffee), but when i tried to order it here, the uncle said they do not have it because its no standard. Then tried to order 'Sut Cha' (Ice Tea), he said there's 2 types (china tea or mamak type teh ice). I'm gonna miss my Cham Ice for sure.

This shop is located just beside Jalan Pelita Utama, a corner shop which is easy to recognize.
