Madli's Restaurant

Top choice in Miri


A long-running family business that started off as a satay stall in the 1970s; read the history on the wall above the kitchen. Madli's is open on two sides for ventilation and is spotlessly clean. As well as lip-smackingly good chicken-fillet and Australian-beef satay (RM1.30 per stick), the menu includes Malaysian dishes like nasi lemak and kampung fried rice.

Serves roti canai (flaky flat bread) and Western breakfasts until noon.
