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.

Early Days

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.

Sarawak White Pepper

Sarawak white pepper is a variety of white pepper that is grown and produced in Sarawak and is known for its unique taste and aroma, which is considered to be milder and less pungent than black pepper. It is often used in dishes that require a more delicate flavor, such as soups, sauces, and light-colored dishes like mashed potatoes, where black pepper would not be ideal.
