Another To Do Things @ Miri

Introducing...

DSC08769
Honda Euro R in Happy-Stop.Blogspot.Com!

DSC08765
Of all the Honda's car name I ever heard like Civic, Integra, S2000, Crx, Nsx and a lot more. This is the first time I encounter Honda Euro R. It is the model that is sells in the UK and Europe's market. The market of import cars in Brunei is booming which made Euro R is in the list.

DSC08772
A car that is belong to a friend of mine. One sporty and comfort car to hop in. We don't feel shaky sitting inside in the car even though the car is moving fast. I once drove a car that as long as a car that drove passed by me, i can feel the car is shaking. With Euro R whose chassis is heavier and stable that makes these sedan car fast, comfort and stable.

One 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC engine which makes 220horsepower and also comes with 6 speed manual transmission.

Its interior comes with Recaro front bucket seats and limited Momo leather wrapped steering wheel.

Went to Miri with the Euro-R a week before. These makes me again able to share the things to do when going down to Miri.

A skyblue with little green colored painted small wooden shop house that we can see by the roadside at Kampong Sungai Liang.

DSC08759
A place where a lot of people will stop by when going down to KB or going down to Bandar because it is situated at the middle of the destination.

DSC08761
A place that is famous and people all go in and order its Fried Keow Tiaw!

Another things that a lot of guys would want and loves to do in Miri that is...

DSC08774
Massaging! Who doesn't? Massage to release the body-ache and relaxing the body that makes the person more refreshing. And it is the ladies touching up the guy's body! Wooo~

BUT we went for different massage that time. It is not the ladies that touch our body, it is an uncle that touches our body.

DSC08778
And we feel pain instead of SIOK! It is a massage that cures sprained ankles, hands, the pains around the body and etc. We went to cure the pains that had been accumulated from lots and lots of basketball and football's games.

DSC08776
So that we can become back once the SHARP SHOOTER!!!

DSC08783
It costs RM30 for every half hour massage and it makes great differences after the messaging. The uncle massage the nerves inside the body and releases the blocked nerves that causes the pain. After the blocked nerves are release, we can move around more smoothly.

Of all the things to do in Miri, I personally like these the most!

What Anak Brunei Do In Miri

After a week of procrastinating and spending my sweet time with Sony and Astro, here I am back into action once again. A day before my 10days school break start, I SKIPPED school to go Miri.

DSC08877
Cross my fingers that no any discipline actions would be taken on me! =D

Miri is one neighboring place to Brunei. Because of the higher exchange rate of BND to RM, people in Brunei just go there anytime they want.

DSC04764
Other than that, it is the cheaper bargains and varieties of choices which we can get there. Shopping will be one of the must do thing in Miri.

Of course there are also people go there for enjoying, relaxing, clubbing, catching air-plane, sea-foods, fast-foods, seeing doctors, looking for car spare parts and a lot lot more. And also don't forget to mention...

DSC04822
THE STARBUCKS COFFEE!!!

Here is where a lot of Chinese Brunei like to go and the very first place to go in Miri.

DSC08696
"CAFE 2020" A popular spot for people to have breakfast which they serve lots of foods like Kolomee, Porridge, Bak-Kut-Teh, Fried Mee and a lot more that also includes DIM SUM.

DSC08688
Siew Mai

DSC08691
Another type of Siew Mai

DSC08690
Har Kau

DSC08694
Dumplings, Sui Kiao

DSC08695
They also serve Kuih too.

DSC08684
Every time I go there the place is always full house that it is pack with customers. People bringing their families for breakfast, couples having breakfast, people having breakfast before going to work, Chinese Brunei having breakfast before going to shop and etc.

DSC08741
Other than varieties choices of products to buy, the foods in Miri also comes in a lot of choices to eat. A lot of delicious foods come from the hawker center that the owners/ boss have their own secret recipe in cooking the signboard dishes.

Kolomee is one of the local's favorite that everywhere in Brunei also sell Kolomee. It may look easy to be cook but there are a few skills to cook one delicious bowl of Kolomee. The ingredients that is important, the quality of the noodles, the timing of the noodles to be cooked, the seasoned oil and etc.

DSC08731
Fook Hai Food Centre, a place that sell completely a different Kolomee comparing to the Kolomee we have in Brunei.

DSC08740
Ever heard or seen "Red Kolomee" in Brunei? Of course not the noodles that is mix with chili or tomato sauce. That's the "Red Kolomee" that is mixed with the Char Siew's oil.

Imagine a bowl of yummilicious Kolomee with a plate of Siew Mai... Awww~ *Saliva Dripping*

DSC08735
DSC08737
Kuching Siew Mai also available for order in Fook Hai Food Centre.

Above is the must do and must go place for the Chinese Brunei. And here's what must do and must go for the majority of the Bruneians which are the FAST-FOODS!!!

Didn't have the chance to try KFC, McD, PizzaHut during that time.

DSC08712
Instead of all above, I tried MarryBrown!
It is one fast-food restaurants that is founded in Malaysia in 1981 and the foods serve are certified HALAL. It is one proud thing for the Malaysia to have fast-foods chain that serves around nation wides that MarryBrown has reached over 250 outlets around.

DSC08714
DSC08728
With the fresh, bright and contemporary looks of the restaurants, it creates one nice and relaxing atmosphere for the customers to dine in.

DSC08718
The foods are nice that they really meets the high quality and standard. If I wasn't told that MarryBrown is founded in Malaysia, I would think it is one fast-foods restaurant that is introduced in USA or Europe just like KFC or McD. The fries doesn't taste like normal fries where we can have it in normal restaurants or the fries that we fry ourselves.

DSC08716
The fried-chickens is juicy and the meats are tender. Just the first bite on the fried-chicken, it just brings back the feels of the old time. It is just like the kids that are so happy when eating the big, tasty and juicy drumstick.

Having fries and fried chicken aren't enough in fast-foods, it is not satisfying without these...

DSC08722
The Burger. MarryBrown has their newest burger menu which is the HOT TOUCH TOWER BURGER!

DSC08724
It is the burger that is prepared with veggie, mayonnaise, the upper part of the meat is the processed chicken burger meat and the bottom layer is the fresh chicken meat. And cheese is put in between the two burger meats! Definitely a burger that is a must order in MarryBrown!

DSC08726
"Something Different" is the slogan of MarryBrown. It is really something different comparing to the local fast-foods restaurants that we have in Brunei or in Malaysia. They did great efforts in the marketing which MarryBrown also uses ambassador to promote it.

DSC075391
Just like KFC that has Colonel Sanders, McD has Ronald McDonald. MarryBrown did something different.

DSC08719
MarryBrown uses one of the Malaysia's Icon which is MAWI as its ambassador. What if one day when Mawi got old, then MarryBrown would have "Colonel Mawi"!

.

MALAYSIA MINISTER/RESIGN
Since using Malaysia's Icon, why not use Datuk Chua Soi Lek? I'm sure Datuk Chua has more influence power than Mawi! :)
