New Hong Kong Duck Eating House @ Miri

 

Location: at Boulevard Commercial Centre, Miri

  

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.

Enjoy Mummy’s Dishes @ Miri

Location: Jalan Merpati, Opposite Imperial Hotel

Mummy’s Dishes 家常饭, a warm little restaurant that recall our memory of taste of our mother’s dishes. Mummy’s Dishes located opposite of Imperial Hotel, same row with Anakku shoplot. It is a bit difficult to locate the restaurant at night, because there are no lights on its shop sign.

Since it is called “Mummy’s Dishes”, most of the dishes in the menu are what we usually cook at home. There are only few choices in the menu, but some maybe special that are not easy to find at other restaurants.
 
Ginger Soup with Rice 家姜麻饭 RM 5.50

This is a dish that suitable for women who are in confinement – those who just delivered baby, chicken soup with large of gingers.

Very strong smell of ginger and wine, actually I couldn't able to accept the taste of it because really choke my nose but I guess this dish was quite good for health, is good to try.

Old Cucumber Soup 老黄瓜汤 RM 3.50

A very traditional home-made soup, taste good as it had cooked very well, just a bit oily. What inside the soup : old cucumber, spareribs, squid, and jujube, made it tasty especially to those who like soups.

RAMEN TEN @ Harbour Front Centre, Singapore

There are many restaurants inside the Harbour Front Centre, and Remen Ten Restaurant attracted me was its promotion signboard: “Buy 1 Get Another 1 for FREE” — Order any set of Japanese/ Western set meal, free one bowl of Ramen.

Tidy and nice decorations inside the restaurant, mainly in red colours.

 

Norwegian Salmon  SD 15.90

Norwegian Salmon set meal, one piece of salmon with some crispy fries, plus a bowl of Japanese rice and milky miso soup that had taste of milk.  Grilled salmon with some laver on top of it, taste yummy and smell good, especially with its sauce.

Scallop Miso Ramen

There are two big scallop in this bowl of ramen, make it irresistible. Besides scallops, there are boiled egg and bean sprouts.

Hot Japanese Green Tea  SD 1.80

FRATINI’S RESTAURANT @ Miri, Sarawak

Fratini’s Restaurant is located in Boulevard commercial centre, is an Italian Restaurant in Miri.



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.

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.

Double Star Restaurant

I have been there for few times, and I do like this restaurant not just because of the tasty of the foods, but also the warm atmosphere. The first impression on this restaurant is a restaurant that quite similar as those young café restaurants KL which I miss so much in Miri.
The decoration of this restaurant is simple but comfortable. What I mean for the warm atmosphere? Is because of the warm smile and politeness of the waitress; they would not show impatience when I keep flip over the menu but still do not know what to order, but will recommend some choices for me and even walk towards and turn their menu board to my seat, just to let me see clearly what are their today’s special. It has variety of foods: from Chinese chicken rice, to Western style toast and even Thai's Tomyam soup noodle. One more thing, they charge at a reasonable price, a price which I consider as cheap in a café restaurant.

This time, we had ordered two rice meals for our dinner: Spareribs with bitter gourd rice and Fish steak rice.  For drinks, we had ordered Grassjelly and a cup of hot green tea. The grassjelly was too icy, too much ice in it.

Spareribs with Bitter Gourd

Spareribs with Bitter Gourd served with rice and soup

 















My favourite --- Beef with Egg Rice ~YUMMY~

 

















Fish Steak with Rice

Extra order: Steam Salmon with tofu (bean curb)
All the meals are served with soup, and soup of the day is dehydrated Chinese cabbage (干白菜汤), my favourite.
Everything seems good in Double Star, but one thing to say is maybe they should update or change their menu book because it has started peeling and flaking.

Marina Bay Seafood

Went there for few times but never try to dine in the restaurant – Marina Bay Seafood Restaurant, from its outside it looks like a high expense restaurant, worry that it will cost high for one meal. Recently family came to Miri to visit us, so we thought to have a try in this restaurant.

Marina Bay located at seaside, with a huge seahorse statue nearby, a very easy locate landmark, constitute a lovely and comfortable panorama.

 

 

 

No matter inside or outside the restaurant, it show its gorgeous design and decorations, some kind like Thailand or Malay culture. It serves not just Chinese cuisine, but also has another set of Italian menu foods.

Seafood toufu soup and Fish scoop soup

Get ready to start eating

Surprisingly, the dishes are not that expensive that I though, of course if comparing with small restaurant outside, It a bit higher price. All these dishes plus one pot of Jasmine tea, 5 bowls of rice, 2 plates of snack, and 5% service charge, cost us total RM 92.93.

Well, It kind of enjoying eating there, especially if you choose to sit at the open sea view balcony seats, where you can hear the sound of wave, smell of the sea and enjoy the sunset. One thing to mention: advice not to look up as you will see lots of spider web stick on the lamp and roof. The restaurant should be caution on this.
