Choon Cheong Departmental Store
Primary tabs
Choon Cheong Departmental Store was a two-story family-run supermarket/departmental store contained within its own building first opened in the late 1980s, a precursor to the 'hypermarket' of Miri today, and one of the first of its kind. Located just in front of the Krokop 10 Bazaar, Choon Cheong Departmental Store was garnering shoppers not only from nearby Krokop & Piasau areas, but even shoppers from farther ends of Miri, including Brunei, in its heyday.
Internal problems arised with the owners of Choon Cheong and, combined with waning traffic and competition from newer malls and shopping choices, the departmental store was eventually closed. The building sat empty for a while before it was renovated into a furniture shop - and today after another change of hands, the building is known as BH Mart.

Food Pavilion is a large food court located at One TT Commercial Center, which is just off the entrance road to Taman Tunku.
Opened 2017, this food center known as Container City is as its name implies - shipping container used as food stall blocks located in a open seating food center, meshing together the "Street Food Container" style concept with traditional open-air food centers.
