I visited the Hippo Land (viz. Miri!) from Aug 28th to Sept 3rd.
May I present to you the good food in Miri that one should really try!
The famed mee kolok (earmark of Sarawak) I tried in Miri unfortunately failed to satisfy my taste buds but I found the laksa here were quite savoury.
Hippo and his family unanimously voted for laksa sold at Sin Foh Café to be the best laksa in Miri. The Sin Foh laksa no doubt is tasty, the taste showed a lot of similarity with laksa from Peninsular, but my favourite would be the laksa sold by Nancy Stall, which is located in front of Imperial Mall.

Nancy Stall!
My favorite Nancy Stall’s Laksa!
The beef noodle at Nancy Stall is quite famous too…

Another appetite-tempting food that I’d like to recommend is the “kuey chap” (粿杂) available at Hopoh Building for morning session only.
The non-halal kuey chap!

Maybe I’m under-exposed, but I find the dim sum served at Mega Hotel (4°23’47.76″N, 113°59’17.45″E) were of the best ones I’ve ever tried to date! And the most important fact is that the mouth-watering dim sum costs only RM3.80 per dish!
So, you all know what to look for if you happen to drop by Miri!
The following is happening every time I visit the site:-

Colleague: What are you trying to do?????
Me: Taking photos…

Instead of having a discussion in the office comfortably, my colleagues (I had to follow, reluctantly… ) drove all the way to the site with issue to be ironed out and did brainstorming in the middle of a road with live traffic and under scorching sun…..
