Miri is a place with some shopping and some fast food choices. We used our own car and found our way around easily. The Toy World store was nice. Some super markets were smelly and wouldn't let me carry my other shopping through while looking for items. I would be more afraid of their employee stealing my new items than they should be of me stealing food from them. I was insulted. Did not shop in their store.

A "must go" in Miri for those in need of good Western food is the Cafe Miri where you can sample some excellent Kangaroo and Ostrich steaks (amongst others). Run by an Australian, the service is second to none in Miri. However, the cafe does close for a considerable number of weeks, normally over the Chinese New Year period.
Many of the local eateries are also worth a try. Look out for the most busy ones and just let yourself be surprised.
For sites to visit in the region, go to the Niah Caves. Approximately an hour and a half drive out of Miri, these caves are at least as impressive as the ones at Mulu (if not more so). As the plankways have been slippery all three times I was there, good foodware is essential, although I'm not sure what would be the best anti-slip shoes to wear. Don't forget to visit the museum on the way out (just before you get back onto the boat).
