The Vintage Tea House — Restaurant in Borneo

Had an unpleasant experience at dining in The Vintage Tea House Miri this week. The owner was rude despite the restaurant not being busy. Once our order didn't meet their expectation, they placed a "reserved" sign on our table and limited our dining time to half an hour. Owner even said aloud to the kitchen staff: "Prepare the one set meal now, faster." The set meal priced at rm25 (including 2 dishes, rice, and a drink), but the food portion was smaller than expected. The food taste was average and overrated. Disappointing compared to previous experiences at the restaurant, with a noticeable decline in quality over the years. Additionally, the owner's discriminatory treatment towards us was disheartening. They clearly prefer larger groups or bigger orders, so if you are in a smaller group or ordering less, it's best to avoid this place. Overall, not a place I would want to return to...

The fish soup RM35 for small can be shared with 2-3 people. The fish meat was meaty and chewy, with the slight sweetness from...
