I typically ate the daily set meal (RM16) for dinner and a snack (RM5) for lunch. I ate local food rather than western food. A continental breakfast (bread/toast and/or local crackers with tea or 3-in-1 Nescafe coffee) came with the room. The continental breakfast may augmented with things like fried eggs (RM3 each), sausage and egg (RM6), bacon and egg (RM8) or an omelette (RM8).

For the set meals meats included a pork chop, sweet and sour chicken, river and ocean fish, beef stew, and lightly curried chicken stew. All the vegetables were cooked and included river fern, cabbage, tapioca leaves, bok choy, and long green beans. The "snacks" were really substantial meals and included stir fired noodles with egg and vegetables, and fried rice with egg and vegetables. Filtered water was served with all meals and bottled water was available at cost (RM3 for 1.5 liter or RM2 for a small bottle). I drank both the filtered and bottled water, and had no trouble at all.

A lcoal restaurant with ambience klighting, latin music and a nute CNN TV channel make you feel to be part of the scene even though you dine alone. By having few food stalls under one roof, you have a choice of various types of food at reasonable price. A bottle of beer is a good choice to start the night.

The E-Mart is an area in the Pujut district of Miri city. It is a large low cost shopping complex complete with local markets with fresh produces and seafood, a large hypermarket and also many local restaurants and eating stalls. Near the vicinity of the E-mart area is an open-door BBQ area where the local set up stalls to BBQ meats of pork, chicken, etc. Here is where the local residents, laborers and workers, etc., hang out after a hard days work to enjoy a few glasses of beer with plates of BBQ meats. The food is simple and cheap. The people are nice and friendly. The eating area is also simple with plastic tables and chairs. Can get warm since it's outdoors but they have fans to blow off the warm air, plus the smoke! Go and see how the locals live and eat. It's just fun.

Favorite Dish: BBQ pork and chicken wings.

The restaurant is quite trendy and even has outdoor seating with wooden tables and benches. They even have free Wi-fi for those internet fanatics who wants to have their meals and surf the internet at the same time. The restaurant have quite an extensive menu, which covers not only Thai food but also include Western and Philippines dishes.

The staffs (mainly made up of Filipinos) are quite friendly and the service quick. If you want to sit outdoors, better do it in the evenings when it's cooler. Then you also get to see the cooks preparing and cooking the food in the outdoor kitchen. You get to smell the aroma of the prepared food, getting the hunger going.

Overall, it is not a bad place to hang out after work and on weekend evenings.

Favorite Dish: My family and I had the Lemon grass Fish, Thai Pineapple fried rice and Tom Yam Gong, the typical Thai seafood hot & sour soup. I only liked the Thai Pineapple fried rice; the others tasted rather average.

This restaurant is located just across the street from the Imperial hotel. It has a huge menu and a big selection of "mock meat" which for me looked kinda funny the first time i went ther (had the green fried rice - great!). The other times i went there though i decided to try the soy chicken and pork, they were amazing. Every time i come back to Miri i visit them and try a new dish, it was never disappointing. The price is ridiculously cheap.

Favorite Dish: There's one dish made of "mock chicken" and thin sliced mango, chili, onion and cucumber served with a sweet and spicy sauce that is amazing. I mean, all the dishes are amazing but this one is superb.

The food was OK but our main courses arrived separately over a period of about 25 minutes. I could understand some delays for a large party, but there were only four in our group! This completely ruined our evening.

Also it was quite expensive considering we didn't have drinks. (The waiter told us the manager had decided not to sell alcohol, despite diners at the next table enjoying a bottle of wine. Later a different waiter told us they had "run out" of all wine and beer.)

This was the first time in years I have not left a tip in a restaurant. Definitely not impressed and will not be returning.

This restaurant serves halal (kosher) Chinese food. The restaurant is large and has 3 floors; the ground floor is the main restaurant, the 2nd floor is for special functions (e.g. wedding parties, etc.) while the 3rd floor is a Ballroom for even larger formal dinner functions.

The service is quick and professional. The food is delicious, and in generous portions. The restaurant also serves Dim Sums on the weekends.

Favorite Dish: Everything is good.

This restaurant had a humble beginning because the owner started with a small restaurant in Sibu town. Then he moved to Miri to open a restaurant with his family in a shoplot in a new commercial area. Now Boulevard restaurant is situated in its own 3-storey building and can cater large functions from weddings to company dinners.

Through the years, it has also maintained its quality of food and reasonable prices. This restaurant doesn't serve pork so the muslims can enjoy their meals here as well

Favorite Dish: There's to many to mention plus the menu changes from time to time. The ones I tried that I like were

- Weekend dim sum (selection)
- Tossed jungle ferns Thai style
- Steamed King prawns
- Hot & Sour soup
- Steamed fish (spicy)
