Life In Miri 2

This is going to be a bit of a lengthy post (not my usual style) but oh well, it was an awesome second day in Miri.
We woke up early in the morning to get some complementary breakfast from the hotel. Simple egg and toast to go with tea.

Then we went to Niah Adventure Park where the legendary Niah Cave is located. Unlike the Poring adventure park in Ranau, Sabah, this park is very well maintained and rather clean (relatively).

It was a bright sunny day to begin with. SO all our journey throughout the park was rather pleasant.
We had to go through a small river to the other side where the park is located.

This is a picture of us. The ass in the background is nothing but a distraction.

This is the adventure park side of the land. It's a pretty long hike deep into the forest and cave. The journey takes about 2-3 hours for each way. In a nutshell, the whole trekking activity could vary from 4 to 6 hours. As long as you don't have too much luggage (i.e., aunties who wants to shit or pee during trekking or complaining about fatigue), 4 hours is pretty achievable.

Few pictures of the cave. I don't have very good pictures due to equipment limitation.

This is the picture at the very end point of the cave. The last cave is known as the "painting cave".

By the time we were done with all the trekking, it was evening and we were all dead hungry. Headed back to the city for some food.

Randomly went to this place for some satay and laksa. The former is pretty okay but the latter is an epic failure. Of course, these are all only appetizers for dinner.

After that we went back to hotel to freshen up before meeting the host for our dinner aka the entree. He brought us to this cafe where they serve some very good mongolian chicken. I thought it was very tasty.

For desserts, we headed back to the Boulevard Cafe for some Umai again. I just can't get enough of that sashimi.

All meals were washed down with the compulsory Teh C Special

We headed back to the hotel and played some games in our room before we called it a day.

Life In Miri

Months back, I went to Miri for a mini vacation. Being a food lover, I took the opportunity to gobble as much as the nice town has to offer. It was all about serious eating. Everyone on the trip had zero opportunity to feel hungry.

This is me in Miri. Sober.

The asses u see at the back are Johnny's and Weng May's.

This is our great host who happened to be a local.

I think he was trying to point his middle finger to the waitress.
Back to the trip, the minute we, as in the 6 of us, landed in the Miri International Airport, MIA, he got us to check into a comfortable little hotel and then off to rent a car.

After that we went for a tea somewhere near the Bintang Plaza. They serve some really good stuff over there.

Some fried sweet potatoes, yam, prawn crackers with the sweet sauce.

That went well with some sweet ABC.
The cuttlefish was amazing.

After that, we went for a walk at the beach nearby.  Nice beautiful and breezy beach.

So after all the walking, people started to get hungry. So we went for some dinner. Just a bit.

Appetizer : Friend Ice Cream and Umai.
The fried ice cream was normal typical fried ice cream. No big deal. However, the umai was awesome. That was my very first time tasting Umai. It's basically raw fish that goes with some vinegar, onion, and ginger. Classic native food of Melanau. Basically it's a local version of your sashimi and it's cheap.

Then some fried koay teow which was normal. Definitely not as good as the Penang version.

All went down with the drinks that would be ordered every single day in that trip. Teh C special. Love it. Three layer milk tea.

For dessert, we went for Kolo Mee. This was the darker version, not the white ones.

OK joking. That was our second round dinner. By then, everyone was pretty stuffed to the max especially the girls. So we went back to the hotel and called it a day.

Blogging

I think blogging is becoming less of a habit and MICRO BLOGGING is becoming THE DEAL to me. Honestly, I really find micro blogging a much easier and fun way to share. As much as traditional blogging is fun and capable to chunking out nice full fledge posts, I find that micro blogging is excellent for many of you who already graduated and earning some handsome cash (Remember to treat me).

I am also sure many bloggers actually microblog more often in a day than doing a full post. The reason is that it's SIMPLE. I guess I am more of a micro blogging person. This is the reason why this blog became slow and lack of updates.

I am still around the space. Just add me up. http://www.twitter.com/gen0va:)

Makan @ Jeff D'Corner

It all started when I had this little craving for steak. Must be the holidays and festive season. So the cravings got into me and I had no idea where to find some good steak in KK. I called upon my trusty uncle for some help. His name is the well known Google. Uncle Google directed me here. According to sabahbah, this place serves some of the best tenderloin steak and lamb.


A good tenderloin = A happy Genova

The next thing I know, I was already standing there in front of the coffee shop smelling some grilled meat. That's very good for a start. Ordered the signature tenderloin steak on medium and the mixed grill platter together with some juices to go with the meat.

Good piece of tenderlion.I would say it's not exactly BIG, but it sure is GOOD.
Price : RM 22
Ratings : 5/5

The meat came a bit on medium rare but I didn't care much as I happily indulged on the wonderful grill.

Here's the mixed grill platter. Chicken, lamb, and sirloin cut. Not as good as the signature dish but it's good for an all in one meat platter.

Price : RM18
Ratings : 4/5

Juices

Watermelon and carrot milk.

And of course, a very happy Genova.

Jeff D'Corner is located at the damai/lintas junction right here.

Happy Birthday to Me

I just got a nice little celebration at 12++AM.
