miri specials: other places..



another cafe that fahmi took me to for dinner in miri was cafenika.. i guess cause the table we chose was outside the cafe, the lighting was not so good.. and i didn't really get to enjoy the food as much. i have to see what i eat.. so?



anyway, i ordered the nasi ayam with roasted chicken and salad. i thought it'd be like the typical nasi ayam with the actual salad.. but rupanya jauh panggang dari api. the chicken was nice tho.. no argue there.. but they served it with coleslaw.. and they don't even serve soup with it.. :( i was hungry so, i ate them anyway.. looks nice tho.. ain't it?


when fahmi had a meeting in kuala belait, brunei.. he took me with him. i don't mind the wait.. but he was really concerned. at first i wanted to lepak at the surau, but i intended to watch the people and listen to their conversations, try to catch some of the phrases they normally use.. and see what they eat mainly. so, i just sat at a corner in the cafeteria. fahmi even gave me 20 dollars so i don't starve...

bought myself a malay newspaper. and sat there.. during lunch time, most of them ordered mi goreng (fried noodles) so i reckoned it should be one of their specials. and so i foolishly ordered too. i even asked for mi goreng daging dengan telur mata kerbau. i thought it would be like one of those special mi goreng we're normally served here.. i was stunned when i looked at the dish. it was plain noodles cooked in soy sauce, with meat and fried egg on top.. more like the mi kicap served at convent dulu.. huhu.. luckily they had the condiments on each table.. something like served in sabah. hmm.. i wonder.. but then, it only costs me $2.20. so, i guess ok la.. what do u expect?
