Do you have F.O.M.O.? The fear of missing out. Well if you do, this article will come in handy so that you don’t miss out any of the new food spots in Miri! This article is about 5 food places that just opened for business recently in the year 2020. These places are great additions to the list of food spots in Miri. If you are ever in a mood for a food hunt, make sure to keep these 5 new places in my mind.

1. Happy Juice

Happy Juice is one of the few juice bars that is available in Miri but what makes them stand out more? Happy Juice uses fresh ingredients to make their beverages. You can see them adding freshly cut fruits and vegetables as they prepare your healthy beverage. They just had their soft opening on 10th March 2020. Unfortunately, the Movement Control Order was implemented a few days after they just got started. So, make sure you stop by to show your support when you get the chance.

One thing on the menu that you must try is their Avocado Milkshake. After all, it is one of their best sellers. I remember when I first tried their Avocado Milkshake. I was super impressed at how fresh the taste of the milkshake was. You will be able to taste the actual flavor of the avocado and not some additional ingredients to make it taste better. You can also enjoy the original creamy texture of the avocado in the milkshake. Believe me when I say that this Avocado Milkshake is THICK and really filling. Order an extra-large size cup during the afternoon and you will stay full until dinner. Get this delicious cup of avocado milkshake for RM8.90 (Medium Size) or RM10.90 (Extra Large size).

Try out their fruit coolers too! It is so refreshing and surely will quench your thirst. Perfect for a hot and sunny weather. They have a variety of flavors for you to choose from. For example, Lychee Cooler, Watermelon Cooler, Passion fruit Cooler and many more. Order one and it will definitely cool you down. However, be careful to not chug down the fruit cooler so you don’t get a brain freeze. That is how cold this beverage is. Their juices are also worth a try as well.

2. Volker Miri

Every Malaysian knows the famous Oden-Oden at Family Mart. Dear fellow Mirians, you can now enjoy Oden-Oden too even when there isn’t a Family Mart in town yet. Just head over to Volker Miri to enjoy a warm bowl of Oden-Oden. Volker Miri started their business on 23rd June 2020 and has become a hit ever since. Not only do they have Oden-Oden on their menu, they have a series of Bubble Milk Tea as well. What more could you ask for?

First step of ordering your Oden-Oden will be choosing your broth. There are two types of broth for you to choose from. One of it is a clear broth with some seasoning in it to add some taste and the other one would be Tom Yam broth. I personally prefer the Tom Yam broth. It isn’t that spicy and has a tangy taste to it. After choosing your broth, you can pick what ingredients you want to be added to your bowl. There is a wide selection for you to choose from. Some of my favorites are the Cheese Tofu, Enokitake Mushroom and the Beef Meatballs but feel free to try whatever you desire.

Another recommended item on their menu is the Volker Signature Spitfire Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea. I was quite pleased when I had my first sip as their milk tea isn’t super heavy. It is also not overloaded with sweetness. The pearls are also quite chewy. The best part is the nuttiness from the brown sugar. If brown sugar isn’t your thing, you can try out their other beverage as well such as the Oreo Cheese Milk Tea and Honey Lemon Green Tea.

So, don’t you worry. Happy Potato has got you covered! You can choose what type of fries that you want. There are straight cut fries, Waffle fries, Loopy fries and Smiley Fries.

4. Happy Dough

Happy Dough originally started as an online business. They accept orders for sandwiches, doughnuts, fruit tarts and Bomboloni. As they progress with time, they started to develop a fan base. Many people enjoy their scrumptious treats. So, they decided to open up a physical bakery in June so that everyone can walk in and enjoy their baked goods.

So, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the Doughnuts. They prepare a series of doughnuts daily for customers to enjoy. They have D’Premium Happy Doughnuts and Happy Doughnuts. The bakery recommendations for doughnut flavors are the KitKat Doughnut, Cheese Doughnut and the Marshmallow Doughnut. The doughnuts taste like the homemade doughnuts that are often found at the night market or the stalls by the streets but it has extra flare with all the toppings. It is equally humbling and aesthetically pleasing. Trust me when I say that the doughnuts are soft and fluffy especially when they are fresh out the kitchen.

Another thing worth mentioning is their Bomboloni series. What is a Bomboloni you ask? A Bomboloni or also known as Bombolone is an Italian dessert. It is a fried doughnuts that is filled with various fillings. Some recommended flavors are Chocolate and Peanut Butter. My personal picks are Matcha and Mango. No matter what flavor you choose, the Bomboloni will definitely be filled up to the max with fillings. SUPER SATISFACTION!
