May King has been in business since 1969, and the signature dish here is lam mee. It is not the most common noodle dish around but owner Madam Chan has tweaked the recipe first taught to her by her mother-in-law – and turned it into a best-seller.

The full-bodied gravy sets the lam mee apart; bursting with flavours, the thick gravy coats every noodle strand. The roast pork bits that form a garnish give the dish a home-cooked feel.
The meatballs are also well known, thanks to the addition of cuttlefish bits in each ball.

Madam Chan’s attention to detail – and talent at balancing flavours – is evident in her delicious chicken soup kway teow. The soup is sweet, and the garnishing of shallot crisps and chives perk up the dish.

What is famous in Sarawak also can be found here such as Kolo Mee, Sarawak Laksa, Tomato Mee, and many others more. However, the food compared to real Sarawak taste is so much different.

Ming Chai Seafood Centre @ Miri, Sarawak

Alison ask Mr Lee to bring us to Ming Chai Seafood Centre to have our dinner. As claimed, the seafood is great and delicious. It did not disappoint us on the food. It is so tasty and we loved it. After a tired day of work, Mr Lee brought Siew Ling, Pei Xuen and me to this restaurant and he ordered the food. What I usually do is taking pictures of the food. At night, the place is crowded with patrons. They ordered lots of seafood and enjoyed with beer. Everyone really enjoyed their meal here so do I.
