Orang Ulu Cuisine in Miri

Two West Malaysian friends sat down for lunch at Summit Coffee Shop in Centrepoint Miri to a First Meal of Orang Ulu Food recently.

It was a nice occasion to break their taste buds in. After the sumptuous meal they were not disappointed and asked to be brought back again for the truly organic food and ingredients from the jungle!! (I left out the photo of the belacan and chili paste)
The shop is famous for the three layered tea (a too sweet but addictive concoction of gula apong at the bottom with condensed milk in the middle and very frothy evaporated milk at the top)

Leaf wrapped soft rice.

A dish of stir fried wild ginger flower.

This is stir fried meeding with fresh wild and soft tree fungi.

Another dish of wild ginger flowers with chicken.

This is minced tapioca leaves cooked with young shoots of the wild ginger plant.

This is pineapple cooked with small intestines and not for the faint hearted. But is nothing on the screen of Extreme Food!! Rebranded this is a dish for exotic Londoners!

This is a delicious dish of oil palm shoot cooked with pounded chillies and some belachan paste with bits of chicken.

This is a group of Maths and Science experts. For Miss Wong and Miss Teo all these dishes including the tea were Firsts for them. Mr. Gan having lived in Sarawak since 1987 and recently transferred to Kelantan this cuisine is top of the list amongst his favourite.



And all good things must come to an end and so did our exciting and exotic meal along the five foot way (the coffee shop itself cannot seat all the noon time diners). The shop is not on the busy road and therefore diners would not have to breathe in extra lead. It is a good choice for a quiet and easy meal. All these dishes are part of the Economy Food displayed on the warming shelf. So you can pick and choose from the trays.

You point and you get the dishes that look good to you. You can always ask for one portion to start with.

But you can be assured....most of the dishes are nice.
