CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.

On our way home yesterday afternoon, my son and I decided to pop in Route 66 Café for a tea break. We have read good reviews about the café so we wanted to experience how good is the gourmet coffee and desserts there. Route 66 Café is located at Lot 1401 Of Parent Lot 991, Jalan Agama, Lutong.

Stir-fried ice cream or “ice pan” ice cream is now available in Miri. This China guy is operating on the 5 foot way of Kang He Trading in Yakin Commercial Centre.

After our brunch today, my son and I went to Tamu Muhhibah to look for Tembaga durians. Many vendors were selling the durians at prices ranging from RM20 to RM25 per kilo.

Where can you find the best steamed paus (buns) in Miri? A lot of Mirians will tell you it is Sau Pau Bakery Café. But I beg to differ. I do like the pau at Sau Pau Bakery but my top choice is the buns sold at the makeshift stall in front of Toni & Guys Unisex Saloon near the ...

Eating places are mushrooming all over Miri with new cafes, restaurants and watering holes springing up almost every month. With competition rapidly increasing, it is getting tougher to run a successful café or restaurant. But there is one food court that is doing extremely well since its opening earlier this year.
