Good food exists in Miri. Really!

You just have to scour high and low for it. Food in Miri is everywhere - but lately as it seems to find consistently good food at reasonable prices is like discovering gold - they are few and far in between. Due to recent price hikes, some other food outlets that used to be good resorted to watering down their products and resulting in bad quality food. Or some people go into the food business simply for profit gains and nothing else. Coffeeshops, cafés and restaurants spring up all over town - sorry I meant city - and you never know what kind of foods and services you'll be getting.

This is exactly what this project created by 'DaSolve' is set out to do. To find the best, not necessarily in terms of price - of the most delicious foods in Miri.
