Korean fried chicken RM 20


Watching sun set at Marina Bay 



and the authentic chicken porridge and kolok mee at open air market for dinner. I would say that this is one of the most signature dishes for Mirian.
Stall name is 广香居, open at 7:30 pm but you're advised to come earlier to get a seat. Usually the food is finished around 9 pm.

Miri Day 1

Friends are visiting Miri for 3 days and this is what we ate and where we visited in 3 days.
Hope this post helps while you're planning for your visit to Miri. Miri has much to offer, it is indeed a beautiful city. You can go to Mulu Cave if you have extra budget but since we are students and wanted to keep the expenses low so we didn't visit Mulu, perhaps in future ;)

Day 1 kicked start with breakfast at 龙门客栈

Then went to Niah National Park. It is about 1 hour 30 min drive from Miri.
The entrance fee is RM 10 for Malaysian, Adult. 
The boat ride is RM 1 per person, per way; RM 1.50  per way after 5:30pm.
Took around 45 min walk before we are at the entrance of Niah Cave.
the walk way was well maintained and not very slippery even it was raining that morning. 
But still wear a good pairs of shoes is necessary, you can wear gloves and bring along a torch light.
Torch light rental at the counter is RM 5.
We just use our hand phone torch light during the trip and it is fine.


First cave is the Traders Cave. 



Then Niah Cave







Painted cave is around 420 m from Niah Cave




it took us around 2 hours from the beginning of the walk to the Painted Cave. Photo taken at the Painted Cave, a victorious shot.
