We tried 4 types of satay - pork, chicken, small intestines and cockles. We also ordered ketupat (compressed rice). The satays were well marinated and juicy. Besides this stall, there were other stalls which we ordered the otak and wanton (dumpling) noodles. I noticed that almost every table would order the wanton noodles. It tasted quite good which might consist quite a lot of lard.

Favorite Dish: Tasty satay

According to a food guide, this shop has been operating for 20 years. The locals call it Long Ji in Mandarin. Their main dish is bak kut teh or herbal pork ribs soup served in a claypot. The dark herbal soup consists of pork ribs, fried bean curb, pork intestines, straw mushrooms and button mushrooms. We ordered bak kut tek for 4 persons, sambal fish, 2 plates of beancurb and braised salted vegetables. Total cost for 6 of us was about RM50.00.

Favorite Dish: My favourite dish is not the bak kut teh but their sambal fish and braised salted vegetables. They used a special Vietnamese sambal paste for the fish. You can buy the paste and bring home to cook. The yam rice was terrifc too.

It's quite a big restaurant in Muar. The locals call this restaurant "Jing Jing" in Mandarin. It's about 10 mins drive from Classic hotel. There were 8 of us and the dinner cost about RM180.00. The overall food was quite good. I enjoyed the garlic prawns, herbal pig trotters and asparagus with scallops. However, their supposed famous snakehead fish beehoon in claypot was a disappointment. The fish soup was quite bland. Patrons could choose to sit in the air-conditioned area or outside. There was also carpark in front of the restaurant.

Favorite Dish: Garlic prawns were big and fresh and fried with crispy garlic. Pig trotters were very tenderly braised. The asparagus with scallops was served in large portion.

We had our coffee break at Sai Kee Café. Their speciality is the 434 Kopi powder.

Do ask for the coffee to be thick (kopi-kau) else you will find it a bit bland or mild.

The coffee is served from the machine and you will have to add your own creamer and sugar to your coffee.

You could buy their coffee powder and make your own cup of coffee.

I have no idea what is Mee Bandung and just knew that Muar is famous for it until we finally tasted it.

Even with our heavy lunch and coffee break, we decide to search for Mee Bandung.

Drove around and finally found the store Mee Bandung Muar.

It is noodles in a gravey with egg and seafood or meat. A very unique taste and taste something like Mee Rebus.
