A Nice to Chat @ Passion Corner, Miri

Passion Corner with its Chinese name “Bamboo Forest”, you will see some bamboo wallpaper and decoration inside the restaurant, making you feel like you are having meal in the forest, but not too impress me, haha. There is second floor where those with some numbers of friends or family can have wider space for gathering and dining.

Three Layer Pork Meat Set

This set come with rice, salad, appetizer, soup of the day and dessert.

Beef Steamboat Set

The steamboat is personal set with some vegetables and others like fish ball, tofu, etc which already been putting inside the pot when serving. The set also come with a bowl of rice, appetizer, salad, desert, green vegetables and grass noodles.

Special sauce, but I personally only prefer soya sauce for steamboat.

Tea

Overall, I do like the small personal steamboat set which look “cute” and fun to me. The price seem a bit high, I mean not affordable to dining here too frequently, but every set do come with lots of things so make it seems worth as well. One more point, the boss (I believe he is) is very friendly and nice service too.

Ling Garden @ Miri

 

Location: Krokop 10, Krokop wet market, pasar, Chan Furniture, Happy Garden, Krokop badminton court

Ling Garden located very near to the market, so it will be a little difficult to look for a parking place especially during morning. What attract me to this restaurant is its Hainan Chicken rice.

 

Hainan chicken rice set RM 4, with a plate of rice, chicken, soup and its chillies sauce.

Would like to mention on its chillies sauce, for those like spicy should try on it, because its chillies sauce really taste good. Hainan style chicken rice special with its rice, where they will need to sauté the garlic or onions with chicken oil, adding in rice and continue stir fried, pour in chicken soup and wait for it to be cooked. This is the normal way of cooking the Hainan style chicken rice.

The rice was soft, smell and taste good, with it chicken meat plus some of the chicken “juice”, this plate of chicken rice was really wonderful. Its soup was tasty but too monotonous, if there were some veggie inside the soup will be more perfect.

Another plate of Hainan Chicken meat

Chicken meat was soft and smooth, and you can see from the photos, all meats were “thick” enough, thus really worth to eat and yummy.

 

Bak Kut Teh was from another stall in Ling Garden restaurant. This bowl of bak kut teh was individual set, with mix of pork rib, three layer pork meat, intestines, liver, plus veggie and bean curd puff. How was the taste? Well, I would say moderate, not too impressive but still acceptable.

Something special here, its rice was served with fried pork fat and onion, Waooo.. looks crunchy and yummy to me. Yeah, really make the simple white rice more attractive and smell good. Although is yummy but advise not to eat too much of fried pork fat.

Restoran Chin Hiong @ Rawang, Selangor

Restoran Chin Hiong located just besides the road, between the Petronas and Caltex petrol station, and it has some distance from the center of Rawang town. There were just few customers on that day we visited, so we didn’t need to wait long after made the orders. 

 

招牌蒸鱼（木耳金针蒸）Steam Fish --  RM 20

It is the restaurant's signature dish, steam fish with  lily and Jew’s ear fungus, plus some wolfberries and smell of wine. I kind of like this fish, as it seem can nourish our skin and good for our health.

螃蟹扒豆腐   Crab meat with tofu  -- RM 12

Tofu is smooth tender and some crab meats which is my favourite.

 

 

宫保鸡丁佛盆   Kung Pao Chicken Yam Bowl   -- RM 15

蒙古排骨 Mongolian Pork Ribs  --  RM 20

Personally do not like the taste of the sauce, moderate rating.

富贵菜 Wealthy Vegetables  --  RM 12

Firstly, when this dish is served, we smell something like urine, thought there was some bamboo shoot in the dish, but nothing like bamboo shoot found. After complain to the cook, they serve us another plate again. This was fresh and sweet, tasty without the smell of urine.

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.

Enjoy Grilling

After doing some research online, I had decided to have a try in 極屋精饌燒肉 , which is a grill meats restaurant. What I had found from comments online, it has quite a worth eating, with acceptable ingredients at a reasonable price. It is located at Taichung town, opposite GuangSan Sogo, easy to locate, just get off from bus at Sogo bus station, walk along ZhongGang Road (中港路一段) for roughly 2 minutes, and you will see the 極屋 restaurant.

極屋精饌燒肉

 

It offers variety of choices in terms of pork, beef, mutton, chicken meat, prawns, seafood, and vegetables. While each type meats have choices like pork meat has streaky or known as belly, pork butt (shoulder butt or collar butt). I didn’t know which part is best to eat, so I just simply choose some to have a try.

Chicken Soup in pot

Before we made the order, the waitress had served us a pot of chicken soup, for us to warm our stomach and chase out cold. Feel warm after drinking the soup, but personally do not really like the taste.

I had ordered a set meal for two persons price at NT676, where I can choose two sets of main course, 6 plates of small dishes, an additional dish (either rice or udon mee), two cups of drinks, and two desserts.

Beef Set

Pork meat (side dish), seafood set

It use charcoal to grill

Main course mean the big plate of meats you choose, there are three choices: pork, beef, or seafood. Since we can choose two sets of main course, I had ordered for beef and seafood. I like beef a lot. I like the rice too, quite special, with some smash fish meat on top, smell good and tasty.

 

Smash fish meat rice

Dessert - Ice cream and chees yogurt

Desserts are ice-cream and cheese yogurt. For me, the desserts are just so-so, still ok, but not impressed me. Overall, this restaurant is quite worth eating, especially the set meal, where we can eat until stomach full. Of course, the choices and quality of the meats are less attractive comparing with others higher class restaurants, but with the price that 極屋offer is worth to try.
