Favorite thing: Parameswara was here, so was Joo. Alexander the Great's descendant, Mr.Parameswara, the founder of Melaka Empire 1402, he was here, but I don't know what exactly he did here, history recorded so, I told you so. Parameswara is a superhuman, his soul still live in Malaysia, the yellow color on the flag of Malaysia was his.

Favorite thing: McDonald's is a must in almost every bigger towns in Malaysia, Muar is no exception. The Store is the name of supermarket. McDonald's is after all, exotic, convenience, comfortable and not too expensive, a set of local meal cost Rm5.50 compare to McDonald's set meal Rm8.95, additional Rm3.45 but you don't have to enjoy the hot weather. Anyway, McDonald's is everywhere no matter what you think.

Favorite thing: Riverview Hotel is a hotel able to view the river of Muar. But I think you need to go up to top floor to be able to see the river. Anyway this is a modern hotel, modern tourists may stay, less modern tourists may stay too.

Favorite thing: Yong Choon Association is another associations in Muar's main street. ChineseMalaysian Associations is quite similar to Manchester United FC, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC, Everton FC, etc. These associations are not football clubs but ethnic clubs, Yong Choon go to Yong Choon Association, Liverpool fans go to Liverpool FC Clubs, exactly.

Favorite thing: Most Malaysian peoples like to have an Imperial Gate or Door at home, they think it look beautiful and valuable. Here is a shop selling luxurious doors, Muar residents can buy the door and fix it at home as decoration.

Favorite thing: Muar is also known as Maharani City, so you can see so many shops using the name of Maharani, such as this one Maharani Curry House. There were many more, Maharani Clinic, Maharani this, Maharani that..., anyway Maharani is ancient Sanskrit of Hindu, it means the queen, the Queen's City is the name in the old days before changed to Muar. Maharani City was a city under Majapahit Kingdom in 14th century much earlier than the Melaka Empire 1402.

Favorite thing: Muar is pronounced as Moo-are. Is a mid-sized port town where in history related to Parameswara, the founder of Melaka Empire. Muar is so so so famous for Otak-otak (picture), local food made of fish meat wrapped inside green pandan leaves.....
