Chen Kee Chicken Rice @ Jalan Krokop Utama, Miri.

Thinking of what should we savour next for lunch. Then one of us suggest to have chicken rice. 

One funny thing about my princess is that she does not like hicken rice. She always opt for plain rice if the stall has it. If she got no choice, she will just savour the chicken rice as she claimed that it is very oily for her liking.

For my hubby, Pak Cham Kai is his favourite. For me, I have the phobia as when my parents are busy with business during my secondary school days, we will just take away "Hainamese Chicken Rice". 

Food that we savour:

Chicken (Pak Chiam Kai) 

Hubby reckon that the chicken is very tender and smooth. 

Chicken Rice 

Steam Tofu - RM5

I would say that the tofu is indeed very smooth and silky.

Herbal Soup - RM6
There are different type of soups. But they only left the ginseng chicken soup. The aroma of the soup is very strong, however the taste of the ginseng is just alright.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall, food is consider average to us. But if you would like to give this place a try, you have to be earlier to avoid some if the food sold off especially during lunch hour. The total bill is RM51.50. (Including drinks)

Apart from the kolo mee and Sarawak laksa, there are lots of food to try out. One of the outings, we were brought to try out:

Food that we savour:

Char Koay Teow with tomato sauce

Actually not many people will accept the taste of Tomata Char Koay Teow with tomato sauce. One of them would be my hubby as he said what is so special with tomato sauce?

Well, I just like the way they stir fry the tomato sauce with Koay Teow. The gravy is something different. 

As for this stall, I think they are not putting much of tomato sauce as I can't taste the tomato sauce although the outlook looks like they did. But overall still taste nice.

Kolo Mee

Chau chai vermicelli soup

Hubby is kinda a soup base type of person. Therefore, he opt for the chau chai vermicelli soup. He loves it very much as it is cook with some rice wine and chau chai. Lots of ingredients in the bowl. I would say that it has a nice fragrant aroma and tasty too.

Stir fry chau chai vermicelli 

This is another version - which  is dry version. They stir fry it with chau chai. Both soup and dry version has its own flavours. As for me I would prefer the soup base as it suits my liking.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall, food was nice and the drink that I order was quite nice too but sorry I did not took any photo. Which is the fresh passion fruits drink. 

As for food that we savour, I would recommend you to try their chau chai vermicelli if you love rice wine flavours.

Warung Puteri @ Jalan Sylvia, Miri.

Apart from the afternoon tea break that I blog before, we opt for another place to try their food. 

We chose some deep fried chicken wings and assorted deep fried beancurd, sweet potatoes and cucuk udang in front of the coffee shop.

Then we seated and look around that many people ordering mee goreng which  looks very delicious therefore we came up with the following order.

Food that we savour:

Deep Fried Chicken Wings

Long time that I did not have any deep fried chicken wings. Eventhough our home cook meal, we hardly have any deep fried chicken wings on our menu.

This deep fried chicken wings taste very crunchy at the outer part and very tender and juicy.

Assorted deep fried beancurd, cucuk udang and deep fried sweet potatoes.

This platter is also very delicious. 

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin - RM6
While this is being served, my sister and my girl are laughing non-stop as they cannot imagine that their salted fish fried rice is divided into two plates. Fry salted fish with, onion and chilies in one plate and another is just purely fried rice.

The fried rice is very delicious and nice aroma. But the salted fish is too salty for their liking.

Mee Goreng Special - RM5.50

Mee Goreng Mamak Special - RM6

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall the food serves here is very delicious. Both mee goreng special and mee goreng mamak special has a nice aroma and one with beef another with chicken.

If you are not too hungry during afternoon tea, you can try their deep fried chicken wings and assorted deep fried beancurd, cucuk udang and sweet potatoes.

The place that I am going to blog is one of the famous places in Miri for dim sum. The patrons seem like never ending while we dine in there. We were lucky to get a table for six of us. 

Apart from the dim sum, you can also order food from their menu. But since we opt to try for the dim sum, we did not order any extra apart from the porridge.

Food that we savour:

Char siew pao

Chicken Feet

Siew Mai

Spare ribs

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

However, I would say, you must try your luck to find a table during the peak hour. The total damage for six of us is RM103.50 which including drinks and GST.

Sin Wan Delight Rojak & Cold Drinks @ Jalan Bintang Jaya 2, 98000 Miri,Sarawak Malaysia.

Well, what should we have during afternoon tea break in Miri, Sarawak? Rather than usual noodles, we have a try on the rojak, mixed deep fried kuih and sotong kangkung.

Food that we savoured:

Cendol 

Hubby has this and he is enjoying it. With everything in it. He opt for the evaporate milk instead of the coconut milk.

Ais Kacang Merah

As a lover of red beans, I ought for the pure red beans with evaporate milk.

Ais Jagung

This is just purely "corn" as my daughther just want to have corn and it mixed with evaporate milk rather than coconut milk.

Mixed assorted deep fried kuih

With this platter, we have mixed of assorted kuih such as deep fried sweet potatoes, deep fried beancurd, prawn fritters, deep fried yam and with their special sauce dressing and chillies.

Sotong Kangkung + beancurd

Normally they serve sotong kangkung only but we asked for additional beancurd. This also came with their special dressing.

Rojak

I would say different people make different type of Rojak sauce. This serve a combination of sweet and less spicy sauce with assorted fruits and cucumbers.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall, we quiet enjoy the food that serve here. Out of the food served, I prefer the deep fried mixed kuih and sotong kangkung with beancurd. The sauce is a bit sweet for my liking. The price wise is a bit expensive compare to the others.

Hopoh Canteen @ Jalan Jee Foh Utama (Wisma Hopoh Miri Lot 1018)98000Miri, Sarawak Malaysia.

We have a short trip to Miri, Sarawak to attend an important function of the family members. Therefore, we have a chance to savour some foods in Miri.

One of the food stops is the famous old time favourite assorted "chai kuih" and Koay chap at Wisma Hopoh. We were told to get there early in the morning in order to savour this. As if you came late, the "chai kuih" might already sold off especially during weekend.

Food that we savour:

Deep fried beancurd

I am actually love the deep fried beancurd offer in most of the places in Sarawak. Some of the deep fried beancurd offer here is stuffed with pork and some with the added salted fish. It will make the beancurd more flavourable.

Assorted Chai Kuih

There are different types of chai kuih that we savoured. If you see from the first photo of the assorted chai kuih, you will notice two of it is wrap in rectangular shapes. I was told that it was wrap with  "Koay Tiaw". Just that this is in big sheet compare to the one one we had for char Koay tiaw. But still I prefer the normal chai kuih but find that the skin of the chai kuih is not thin enough compare to those my aunt mother in law make. But that will just kept in my memory.

The fillings of all the chai kuih are quite generous and taste vice is still nice.

Kolo Mee

My girl is having the kolo mee which she reckon that it is a bit too soft for her liking. 

Koay Chap

I had the Koay chap. Soup base is tasty and lots of ingredients in the Koay chap. The Koay is a bit thinner compare to those serve in Penang. 

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall, it's a place that you can try several things in one roof. Lucky that we woke ourselves up early to give this place a try.
