Ming Xin Cafe — Restaurant in Borneo

By far the best Halal Dim Sum in Miri with affordable prices (cheapest RM4.80). The restaurant is very spacious, open air concept but with plenty of fans to keep it cool. The staffs were friendly and service was quite fast. All food was served piping hot and freshly made. You know the dim sum and Chinese dishes are good when theres quite a number of Chinese customers dining in.

Heres what we ordered: DIM SUM. We really liked the chicken sui mai, shark fin dumpling, szechuan sui mai, prawn cheese roll and century egg roll. Tastes is comparable to the original except halal using chicken. However, the sweet sour roll, chicken feet and the prawn cheong fun were not so great. Chicken feet was not the usual red braise sauce, instead, it was plain and oily. The prawn cheong fun had a huge prawn in each but the skin was not silky smooth and you can taste the flour. Overall, everything else really deserves the praise.

PENANG KUEH TIAW. So delicious and flavourful with plenty of clams. Has the wok hei taste, and the noodles were nice and chewy. Probably just a little bit too salty.

Overall, we enjoyed having our breakfast here. Would definitely come back for...

📌Ming Xin Café, Miri

Halal Dim Sum seems to be the new hype. 🥘🥓🥞

This Halal Dim Sum restaurant in Miri makes it to one of the top Dim Sum experiences I've ever had.

Going by the name of Ming Xin Café, locals frequent this place so often that the dim sum very quickly runs out. The busiest period is in the morning, where regulars order bowl after bowl of freshly made Dim Sum dishes.

Since it is a Halal restaurant, every single race in Miri converges here.

At RM 5.20 per portion, the dishes are definitely worth it. I've been here twice, and the Dim Sum tastes amazing! Just look at the pictures! The glutinous rice with chicken was rich with flavour, and the fried bean curd rolls were as crisp as could be. Aside from Dim Sum, other Halal Chinese dishes are served, such as Kolo Mee or Fishball soup. Really good stuff.

This is a must-visit destination if you...

Ming Xin was our first stop on our Miri food trip as its on the way from the airport. It was good that we came back before our flight departing Miri.

The restaurant is spacious, cooling and has a pleasant (though nothing spectacular) vibe. Staff were attentive to details despite the extensive menu.

The local favourites (kolok mee, kacuk manis) were executed well enough and satisfied our tastebuds as non-locals. The dim sum is satisfactory thought I found it to be a little overcooked as the skin broke apart during one of our visit.

If you're generally non-fussy with food and like a nice dining environment, then Ming Xin is a good...
