New Hong Kong Duck Eating House @ Miri

 3-star2

Location: at Boulevard Commercial Centre, Miri

 DSC00696 

Quite interesting name, New Hong Kong Duck Eating House, I guess its signature dish will be the Hong Kong style roasted duck. It serves not just roasted duck and chicken rice, but also some oriental dishes from wok and some hawker style food as well.

Roasted Duck Rice  RM 5.50

The duck meat was a bit dry and did not have much taste of duck. Even served with sauce, I still felt that this plate of duck rice was too dry to chew.

Roasted Pork Rice  RM 4.50

I love roasted pork. The skin of the roasted pork seem crunchy, but they cut too flimsy, unable to taste its crunchiness.

As usually, there will be a bowl of soup served together with the rice, but this soup was too salty.

A nice and romantic atmosphere in the restaurant, just that the seat that we were sitting is a bit dirty on the day we visited.

They provide cheese powder on the table, which is my favourite. Too bad, I was not ordering pizza or spaghetti on that day.

Large cup of drinks, of course, with the higher price paid.

CREMA DI FUNGHI   RM 15
Cream of mushroom topped with cream and croutons. A good starter, tasty soup served with a slice of bread. I like this soup but is a bit too much for me, but is perfect for two to share.

FILETTO DI MANZO   RM 55
Grilled beef tenderloin served with anchovies and garlic jus, mashed potato and grilled vegetables.
DSC02134
RISOTTO AL NERO DI SEPPIA    RM 37
This is Italian rice braised in a black ink squid stew, topped with crispy tiger prawn. As there is no squid on that day, so they have changed it to mushrooms. Moderate rating, as I feel the taste is weird, I guess is because of the mushroom not suite with the tiger prawn and rice.
Overall, the foods are acceptable, and there is only few Italian restaurant in Miri, so Fratini’s Restaurant will be one of the good choice for those who like to have Italian foods.

Airy Cafe @ Miri

Airy Cafe situated at lower floor of Boulevard Inn 富丽华酒店, just opposite the Boulevard Hypermarket.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is good, tidy and clean, is comfortable to dine inside the restaurant. You can side inside the restaurant with air-conditioned and TV, or choose to sit outside the restaurant to chat loudly with friends. I have been there twice, and coincidently we had ordered the same dishes and having the same feedback: Roast pork rice and seafood fried rice.

The roast pork  RM 4.50, look quite nice, but disappointed to say that is not as delicious as I thought, the roast pork skin was too dry.

Roast pork rice with sauce served separately.

Seafood fried rice RM 6.00, as you can see, besides some small prawn, only green bean, egg, carrot, some chicken meat and corns, which are not seafood. Feel unworthy, it is more like simple fried rice rather than called as seafood fried rice, and it price a bit more expensive than other kind of fried rice. I am wondering how it’s simple fried rice will look like, only without prawn? However, the fried rice did taste good.
