Halo Cafe Miri
02
September
I was in Halo Cafe Miri when the nation countdown to its 50th birthday. The cafe had interesting programmes lined up for that special night - with lucky draws and gifts giveaway. Miri was chosen to host this year’s state-level Merdeka celebration and early in the morning there are colorful arrays of events staged at the Miri Stadium. Thanks to Ian from Miricommunity.net for the coverage.
Back to the cafe, I’ve only come to know that the cafe is actually owned by one of my friends back in Melbourne - Mr. Kuek, and some other shareholders as well, namely the son of Honda Miri’s tauke (boss).
Following is a few shots I’ve taken inside Halo Cafe.
Wall decor in the cafe.
The performance stage, lights unlit.
Yes, they serve Tiger beers/alcohol in this cafe, too!
This is how the waiter dress.
Seatings inside the cafe.
Heavy rain outside Halo Cafe.
As soon as the fireworks goes off sharp at 12 midnight, the rain pours down and the fireworks lasts for about 10 minutes, or less? Must be very anti-climaxing for all the high-expecting guests and visitors, including me.
For all those who’re there at the City fan garden, it must be quite a scene to see them running for shades when the rain comes pouring down.
Well, some feedback for the cafe, I think it’s a lil bit too pricey for those someone like me. No doubt it’s a cool place to sit back with a cup of Jasmine tea and listen to live band performing. But not on a frequent basis. The audio system still has room to improve, I reckon the speakers are too focused and bass levels are too high they create distortion. Staging and tunings are expected to be better.
Take a chance to tease your taste buds as they serve a variety of delicious western/eastern fusion foods.
By the way, who wanna go and see Lim Yu Zhong’s mini concert at Imperial Mall Miri, I’ve got 2 tickets to give away courtesy of Miricommunity.net and Halo Cafe. Please SMS me. I’ve won it off Miricommunity but I couldn’t make it there. Someone please take my ticket 
Take it today, cause the concert is on tomorrow 3rd of September, 2007. After that, it’s gone :/ So be quick.
If you like this post, please consider buying me a beer.

One drink for $9.90 excluding government and service tax is a bit too much. Even the water costs $2.00++ per cup …
The prices way too steep for such a small market.

Hi there, i agree tat the price are really expensive and most of all the sound system really needs improvement. My friend works there as the stage coordinator and i did mention to her all the weakness of the cafe.. He he by the way next time if you guys go there, make sure margaret is singing cause she’s a good singer and when she sings, i guarantee you everyone will stop chatting and listen… cheers…
