Another video of Miri during World War II, this time of B24 bombers dropping bombs near what is a very recognizable coastal shape to us Mirians - the Miri Peninsula - and the riverside oil refinery & storage, and possibly Pujut areas of that era to deny the Japanese invasion of the time of the oil supply.

Food Pavilion is a large food court located at One TT Commercial Center, which is just off the entrance road to Taman Tunku.
To picture Miri when the township came to know oil, we have to project ourselves into a very different past. When the original Shell men arrived, it consisted of 20 scattered houses and a few shops. These included a bazaar, a gambling farm, a pawn shop and an Arab shop. The trade of Miri consisted chiefly of jelutong, brassware, belachan and budu.
