After the dinner, I went back to my room to rest. As I had a very tired and busy day and I need to catch an early flight in the morning. Hope you guys enjoy the photos :) Miri Taiwan Restaurant It has a simple arrangement The food, well is below my expectation.

My old buddy Wei Shian. Now he is working at Miri as a painting inspector, something to do with painting job. He told me that his job is very danger sometime, so that’s why there is not much people work in his field. He had a new house, and a new car at Miri…I’m so envy!!! That night he bring me to eat at Yong Lee coffee shop, when go Miri you must try the famous shell meat kuih tiao. After my second round dinner, we chit-chat, talk some bullshit, see pretty girls, share some working experience. Then he knows I like to take photos, so he brings me to Canada Hill. On top of Canada Hill there is Grand Old Lady this is the first oil well in Malaysia, and now it had become an historic artifact. On top of Canada Hill I can feel cool breeze blowing softly on my face. And I can also see the city night scene. Miri had really change a lot since the last time I visit, it had turn from an Oil Town to a Resort City. Wei Shian even bring me to his new house, is situated near the Senadin residentia

Miri Marriott Resort & Mandara Spa My friend bring me to a new resort at Miri called the Marriott Resort and Spa . Yet again this is another new development after Miri become City earlier this year. It has a huge and luxurious lobby, but one thing that I’m not satisfied with is that it had no air-conditioner or fan to keep people cool.

We entered the spa to get some information. At the reception we are welcome by an Indonesian girl, once we entered I can smell the exotic aromas of spices and fragrant blooms, plus the ge

This post actually need to go first, but I was so excited to show your guys the new park to I change the sequence a bit. So before I went to Miri Park, my friends and I had dinner at a western food restaurant called the “Blue Ginger” . Upon entering the restaurant, I notice they painted one of the walls with seaside view, this had give customer a very unique feel that they are dinning at an exotic beach restaurant.

If you look rich, no doubt you will get the VIP treatment, but if you dress casual then they will give you the “pls
