You look like you enjoying Sarawak, I don't know much about Sarawak, but after watching your videos I feel like visiting Sarawak, the looks and vibe is a little like Peninsula and chill, I love chill places like this.
@@yvesthesleeve yup I am watching this video at 30:00 mark now, looks like we are very similar, I do enjoy the charm of these old-school sleepy town charm, everything seems chill and no rush. You also said the same thing, it is similar to Peninsula, the vibe and look but of course not 100% the same.
Feel free to visit Sarawak, particularly Kuching, Bintulu and Miri, where got beaches. Through Kuching, you can visit Lundu which got many beaches, and 2 hours away by transport from Kuching
As myself live in sarawak.. yes there's many the mat saleh or we call them as orang putih haha, visit sarawak.. can say almost everyday see them visitng in sarawak here and there.. meet one foreigner before and quickly become friend with them.. i remember he tell me that he keep coming here with his wife and kid, and he enjoy a lot visit sarawak.. he loveeeee laksa sarawak the most when he visit sarawak
Welcome to my hometown Miri! I see you're staying at the old CBD of Miri. The temple you visited, the Tua Pek Kong Chinese Temple, actually had a unique history - it is the oldest temple in Miri, erected before the founding of Miri City (when Miri was still a fishing village before oil was struck). It had stood standing for 110+ years, witnessed the whole Miri City under fire twice (once by the Japanese forces, and once by the Allied forces), and quelled a pandemic which plaqued Miri at the time (according to some locals). I hope you get to meet locals that could tell you more about the history of Miri. Safe travels~
The Malay head dress is called a Tanjak / Tengkolok. Warisan means Heritage. Malays also wear the Songkok... the black cylindrical head gear... also cultural... the white Skull cap is known as Ketayap.
25:22 - Its called "Kuih Sepit" or "Kuih Kepit". You also can refer to RUclips about "how to make kuih sepit". It also have a other version of flavor. 😊
Welcome To Miri. Since you came to miri i recomend you got to Niah National park. Explore the Niah Cave n Nature. 78 km from miri town. Don forget to bring 🔦. Enjoy
Local Mirian here, cool there’s more and more people especially mat salleh visiting my town which is great haha! Glad seeing you guys enjoying. There are more to see though and of course visiting Noah caves for the natures, beach for the sceneries like tanjung lobang and esplanades. Grand ol’ lady for history and our Hollywood sign etc
Cool guy and cool family travelling the world. Memories for grandchildrens would be outstanding.cover mostly lives in borneo sarawak. Tqvm sir for the video. Enjoy and stay safe. Come again with your grandchildrens. 🤗
Belated welcome to Miri. 0:10 Looks like you guys are staying near Mega Hotel. 😄 4:47 He probably works as a civil servant. There is an initiative for employees to wear traditional costume to work on Fridays. 5:15 "Warisan" means heritage. The "tanjak" is a Malay heritage. That's what he meant.
Hope you do a video for Sabah, Tawau where I have relatives. Guess you won't do a Singapore one?😊 By the way, for the "rat tail" noodle soup or any soup for that matter, the chilli sauce is a dip, not meant to pour into soup. 😅
Thank you fo sharing your percious moments in Miri Sarawak. Those oldtown are crowded by people in the 70,80,90s not like today. I miss the good old town vibes before they re build new building around the market. The market are my favourite place to eat too. 😅 Thank you for sharing. Good budget place to stay i cosy in.
Thurs to sun evening should go to saberkas to the night market. Lots of food to buy. Visit the boat club. You will love the beach, tanjong lobang beach, explanade beach, enjoy your stay
9:58 Why Chinese presence is big in the cities and towns? Simple. They came and set up commercial settlements back in the days. Indigenous people had only started to join in in the last few decades. Traditionally they were farmers, hunter-gatherer (a small number of Penans still live the nomadic lifestyle in the forest)… Indigenous people are still quite big on farming. Some on a small scale and a few has medium size cash crops. Coastal tribes are mostly fishermen. 11:54 There was (still is?) a swine disease probably a year or so ago (just after the end of lockdown?) and butchers find it hard to get supplies… 19:41 Mi kering is similar if not the same as kolo mi. 😆 Some sellers add leafy vege., fishballs, sliced fish cakes… They do come in varieties.
Well, @@yvesthesleeve... the swine flu only affects pigs. 😁 Apparently I found out that JE is quite endemic in Sarawak hence the State has made it compulsory for kids to have the JE jabs.
I recommend you to make 1 night stay at Borneo tropical rainforests resort, around 30 minutes from Miri. You will experience nature with family alongside with nice chalet and pool in nature to!
When I looked at all of your Sarawak videos, it seems that you love the old town, definitely, such places existed before other new areas were developed, primarily by Chinese businesspeople.
Thanks for visiting Mri City, mate. Come again. Next time it helps if you could check with STB (Sarawak Tourism Board) kiosk around the area near your trail there.
The tikus noodle that your eating is called Loh Shee Fun here in Peninsular.. try Kampua noodles while ur there in Miri. Mee kering means Dried Noodles like Instant Noodle.
@20:37 the best curry chicken rice in miri. Run buy single 5 old ladies. They are bestfriend. @32:43 upgraded temple. There use to be fish market near.
Yeah, you are right, "tikus" is rat/mouse. I just wonder why that vendor labels it as "mi tikus"...it will frighten customers away especially those who do not know about this noodles...😂 Actually, this "mi tikus" is "loh si fun" .. in the Cantonese dialect (one of the many dialects used by Chinese ) The noodles look quite similar to "cendols", right? Anyway, great to see everyone enjoyed the food. Thanks for sharing, Sir.
@@yvesthesleeve The noodle is more commonly known as silver needle noodle in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and rat noodle or "mouse tail noodles" in Malaysia and Singapore. They are sometimes also called as pin noodles.[2] The noodles are named as such because the shape of the noodles is long and tapered much like a rat's tail, translucent white like needles, or from the way the noodles are made by pushing them through the holes of a sieve.
Go to Selera Rasa Segar juz behind Kingwood hotel. U can hv your nasi lemak for breakfast. Recommended. Its juz within walking distance from your hotel.
As a Mirian, I can say Miri is quieter than other cities on normal days. Except when Bruneians came during weekends, the end of the month or during holidays. Miri will be packed full of people.
Does your little baby really understand what he sees of himself in the video? Does he ? ? He looks so bright posing Infront of camera with a really nice big smile ... He photogenic little baby... I can see he can be an actor when he grown up...

Mr Mooshine, how long have you been swam your home country? How long are you planning and continue to be on your tour? Are you traveling on some goals, such as I would to visit all countries in Asia, or visit say 100+ countries in the world? How do you workout children’s education, I guess the obvious answer may be Home Schooling? Are all your visits pre-planned; cities to visit, the duration, places to stay? Will appreciate your answers. May God bless you and your family.
@Gary_and_Linda I think the story goes that a Canadian used to live in that area. Yep a Canadian left the great white North and lived there so long ago. It is important because it was oil well No. 1.
We’re heading to Borneo shortly after we arrive in KL. Most Canadians don’t know what they are missing in Malaysia. We’ll check out Canada Hill when we get to Miri. ❤️🇲🇾
@Gary_and_Linda miri is more than meets the eye. It is the starting point to mulu national park where the marriot hotel is located. And of course the world famous apostles and sarawak Chambers are located. Many young people (vloggers) will just know sun doong caves which is newly discovered and in terms of volume is the largest cave yet(because it is high). However, sarawak chamber by flat floor area is still the largest. It is a unesco world heritage site.
Exactly my impression too. A nice and quiet old school town, especially the market. [A question about the pronunciation of Schweiz in German. 1. is it pronounced with an *Ä* 2. is it pronounced with an *A* like in Sun ☀ 3. something else]
Miri open air market. Some old folks there can't speak and understand English. Sorry for the communication experience... but this should be the fun part for some traveler. Hope you was enjoying that time.
the temple had already been there for 100 years. The statue is god of land. I heard the main temple had been rebuilt, that why it look newer, like just 50/60 years old. Side of the building definitely new.
Wiki: Kue semprong, Asian egg roll, sapit, sepit, kue Belanda, or kapit, (Love letters in English) is an Indonesian traditional wafer snack. IIRC the SEAsian Chinese appropriate it for their CNY celebrations, yet I don't see the Indonesians kicking up a sh*tstorm about that!
not sure is only me or not(Sarawakian). But I will feel little offended if strangers asked what is my race (except someone I know). However, most Chinese in Sibu, Bintulu and Miri are Christians, so Buddhist temples maybe less crowded in these area despite high Chinese population😂
in the video, there are not many people at the Tua Pek Kong temple because it's not the 1st day or the 15th day of the lunar calendar, it's quite crowded during those times... and the temple still under renovation, now it's close for visitors until next month...
@@yvesthesleeve, asking “where are you from?” is not the same as “what race are you?”. 😆 This is something that East Malaysian find particularly sensitive about. We get ask that question all the time when we’re in the peninsula too and it’s never a question we like to deal with. Just because we’re in the same FEDERATION doesn’t mean we share 100% mindset. We don’t mind discussing more detailed racial stuff once we’re more comfortable with each other, not something we like to discuss at the first “hi”.
Frankly as a malaysian/food lover like any other 90% of malaysians.. the authenticity of real flavors of malaysian food has decreased... Only reason is the price hike on everything.. yeh blame it on pandemic
miri has 25-30% chinese. didn’t you notice that most of them are old chinese at that sreet ? no young chinese. because it's old street. In modern street, many chinese use mandarin+english sign, or all in english.
So cute to see Dylan waving to us viewers for the first time. Thanks for the walkabout showing us Miri town. It's big.
Very welcome
Miri is a city
Good to see you guys, i visit these places everytime i return to miri.
Really delighted seeing you downing the local foods.

We are not clear on the path but we will definitely head over to Sabah and eventually will also be in Singapore
Mat Salleh might be residing in Bintulu and Miri due to the oil and gas industri in this two cities. Some might be tourist though.
Possibly

Miri is the gateway to mulu caves. Unesco world heritage site. Vietnam's sun doong is biggest by volume, sarawak chamber is biggest by flat area.
22:03 - it is look like "Kuih Denderam" in Melaka and other state...
Similar probably

🕙 Time 21:42 🤔 What's the filling of the chinese kueh/cake? - 🫣 Although 🥸 cannot recall the name of that kueh you ate 😅 but 🥸 can recall the good taste 😘 of it's Turnip/Sengkuang filling ( 🥸 often write wrongly as Tulip 🌷).
🧐 Due to language different, certain names or meaning may differ from places to places.
🤓 The "turnip" or sengkuang (In Malay) mentioned here is big yellow roots tubes compare to the small red-white one you know.
🤓 Some interesting information 🥸 found on the net:
🧐 Turnips/蕪菁 (looks like red radish) - Scientific name Brassica rapa, variety rapa.
👉🏽 Also known as white turnip, hardy biennial plant in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).
🧐 Sengkuang/沙葛 @ Jicama - Scientific name Pachyrhizus erosus or Pachyrhizus tuberosus.
👉🏽 Skin colour like potato that resembles a large turnip.
👉🏽 taste like water chestnuts but not as sweet and less expensive.
🧐 Water Chestnuts/Sengkuang Cina/馬蹄 - Scientific name Eleocharis dulcis.
👉🏿 Despite being called chestnuts, water chestnuts are not nuts at all. They are aquatic tuber vegetables.
🫣 There is another Water Chestnut/菱角 @ Water Caltrop (Trapa natans), also an aquatic plant.
👉🏽 Not to be confused with above similar name, Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) of the family Cyperaceae.
👉🏽 AKA Bull Nut with dark hard bull head shape 🐮outer shell.
🤔 Why the confusion of local carrot cake and western carrot cake?
👉🏽 Radish/蘿蔔 is called Lobak in Malay language in 🇲🇾 Malaysia and often is called "white carrot (white radish)/lobak putih" to distinguish from Carrot 🥕 which is call "red radish/lobak merah/紅蘿蔔".
👉🏿 So locally radish cake becomes carrot cake.
👉🏽 In 🇲🇨 Indonesia carrot 🥕 is called wortel (as in 🇭🇺 Dutch).
🤓 Kueh in Malaysia is any cake of Malay, Chinese, or Indian origin.
🤓 The main differences between western cakes and local kuih are:
👉🏽 There is usually no leavening agent in the recipe for kuih;
Butter or margarine is seldom used or used sparingly in making kuih;
👉🏽 Kuih are usually cooked using the steaming method rather than baking as in western cakes; and
👉🏽 Coconut milk and palm sugar are favourite ingredients in kuih, something that western cakes seldom use.
🥸 🙏 Sorry 🙏 another long one from me 😁, hope you get to know Malaysia a little bit more.
thanks mate, much appreciated, not sure what the filling was... not too sweet
Wow mantap good evening thank you 😍😀👍 Malaysia
Hello there
Miri is perceived as a "rich" town because the presence of the Oil & Gas Industry...
Yes, I can see that. It has a rich flair about itself.
New discovery of mee tikus...interesting😊
Never had before
Mr Mooshine, how long have you been swam your home country? How long are you planning and continue to be on your tour? Are you traveling on some goals, such as I would to visit all countries in Asia, or visit say 100+ countries in the world? How do you workout children’s education, I guess the obvious answer may be Home Schooling? Are all your visits pre-planned; cities to visit, the duration, places to stay? Will appreciate your answers. May God bless you and your family.
thanks, the goal is to visit every country in the world and make the channel strong. The kids are homeschooled yes, protected from any propaganda.

[A question about the pronunciation of Schweiz in German.
1. is it pronounced with an *Ä*
2. is it pronounced with an *A* like in Sun ☀
3. something else]
I am sure but I do not get the question, the word Schweiz does not contain any a, so I guess 3. is correct.

Not one little bit, we eat much more spicy actually 😁
Wow.. will u go to my hometown Lawas also?
I am not sure...
@@yvesthesleeveLawas can go by road from Miri, across Brunei…. About like 3 hours drive?
not sure is only me or not(Sarawakian). But I will feel little offended if strangers asked what is my race (except someone I know). However, most Chinese in Sibu, Bintulu and Miri are Christians, so Buddhist temples maybe less crowded in these area despite high Chinese population😂
I told him that ‘cos he was doing that a lot in his first couple of Kuching videos. 😄 It’s normal in the peninsula though…
People ask me every day many times where I am from, why would someone be offended?
in the video, there are not many people at the Tua Pek Kong temple because it's not the 1st day or the 15th day of the lunar calendar, it's quite crowded during those times... and the temple still under renovation, now it's close for visitors until next month...
@@yvesthesleeve, asking “where are you from?” is not the same as “what race are you?”. 😆 This is something that East Malaysian find particularly sensitive about. We get ask that question all the time when we’re in the peninsula too and it’s never a question we like to deal with. Just because we’re in the same FEDERATION doesn’t mean we share 100% mindset. We don’t mind discussing more detailed racial stuff once we’re more comfortable with each other, not something we like to discuss at the first “hi”.
welcome to my hometown
thanks a bunch
Welcome
@@yvesthesleeveu should go coco cabana
👍❤️❤️❤️
don't miss Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kuih sepit /kuih kapit is actually know as love letters... Chinese delicacy
I see..
Frankly as a malaysian/food lover like any other 90% of malaysians.. the authenticity of real flavors of malaysian food has decreased... Only reason is the price hike on everything.. yeh blame it on pandemic
The Old Man Street got its name because there's a lot of senior citizens spend time hanging out there chatting and playing chinese chess every day...
That makes sense
bye guys .
Or you go to Tanjung Lobang 👍
because chinese people are very enterprising. they founded many urban centres. they are very prominent in trading, business, construction and such.
Yes sure I always like the Chinese
How’s your experience
very good
@@yvesthesleeve you can come back to Miri anytime.
Just PayPal u. 🎉🎉🎉 lovely family.
Thanks so much mate
miri has 25-30% chinese.
didn’t you notice that most of them are old chinese at that sreet ? no young chinese. because it's old street.
In modern street, many chinese use mandarin+english sign, or all in english.
I noticed a strong Chinese population...
It is a Toaist temple , not buddhist temple . But it is nice in Miri
