Pong’s Cafe Miri
08
August
This is probably the best price-by-portion Western/Eastern fusion restaurant in Miri. Although their waiters/waitresses looks like those from the old kopitiam’s, but their food is well above my expectation.
This is their counter, with bamboo fish traps hanging from the top. It’s said that if you place those near your counter, it’ll trap fortunes. Hmm, should I try that for my shop?
No fancy menu here, just plain handwriting, neat and readable.
Check out their prices for steaks!! For the same price or so, I get only half the quantity elsewhere. Mixed grill is a combination of 3 steaks, namely lamb, beef and chicken, and the portion is enough for a couple! Believe me, you don’t wanna go there and order 2 plates of those if you’re dining out with your partner. Unless you’re a really big eater.
My meal of the night, I had fried rice + fried chicken cutlets coated with mayonnaise. The photo might seem a little small here, but believe me, it’s much bigger.
This is the ultimate plate. 3 pieces of steaks for RM16.90! Eat all you can with this plate.
If you’re really, really hungry next time, do pay this cafe (restaurant) a visit! Everything is XXL-sized. If you’ve ever dined in angmoh (Caucasian) countries, this is the closest you can get here in Miri, by quantity. Most importantly, their food tastes good. I’ll come back again for sure.
If you like this post, please consider buying me a beer.

Hi alex, nice blog.
I am eric and I am from Cbu. I tried to look up for Halo Cafe’s contact no and address that’s why I came across this blog. Do you know the contact no for Halo’s cafe and is reservation required for Halo’s cafe? I am planning to visit Miri with my car in the near future. Also Could you provide me the address for this Pong’s cafe?

Keep d good work up bro

Halo Cafe requires no reservation. But you might want to reserve for seats at Pong’s cafe, especially during the night time when it’s usually full from 7-10.
