Miri Plaza
Primary tabs
Miri Plaza was originally a shopping mall at Pelita Commercial Center that is four stories tall, built in the early 1990s. Its anchor tenant was Metropolitan Department Store & Supermarket. There were 80 shops selling boutique, footwear, computers, watches, fast food, handicrafts, souvenirs and leather goods within. On the ground floor entrance was Marrybrown fast food restaurant.
Business slowed down for the mall and traffic began to wane by the early 2000s. Major renovation work started around that timeframe to completely cover the floor levels at each floors, creating more flooring space for each floor and transforming the entire building into a hypermarket run by Servay today. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. The exterior facade of the building remains untouched to this day and the name 'Miri Plaza' can still be seen.

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.
The City 'Tram' was introduced in March 2008 in Miri as a free, non-profit service that the Sarawak Tourism Board implemented for tourists and hotel guests to enjoy free public transportation services.
Located in middle of Beautiful Jade Center, Persiaran Kabor, also known as Old Folks' Street (Lao Ren Jie 老人街) is a roofed area in between shoplots where coffeeshops lay out tables and chairs along where folks congregate there for breakfast or tea, drinks, chatting with one another, and passing their time.
This National Park is located in the upper reaches of the Sungai Bunut where Sarawak's largest natural lake is found. The local Berawan fishermen call this lake 'Logan Bunut'.
