Restoran Marina, Tanjung Mas, Muar, Johor

Muar is a unique destination. But without much promotional on tourism activities, uniqueness of Muar is not well known.

My recent visit is Restoran Marina at Tanjung Mas. The landmark is the Masjid Jamek Muar (Old Mosque). The restaurant is located inside Muar Marina. The place is great and food price is similar with normal restaurant.

The view is spectacular with view of Malacca Straits and Muar River. The air is breathy and the place is clean. So next time if you visit Muar, do visit Restoran Marina

Mee Bandung Muar, Pagoh Bus Station, Muar, Johor, Malaysia

I've been to Bandung Indonesia and you will never see a single restaurant selling Mee Bandung. But if you go to Muar, majority of the restaurant sell Mee Bandung Muar.

Actually Mee Bandung Muar is yellow mee served with thick gravy made from fish and spices. The mee bandung muar is quite hot. My personal preference is to consume mee bandung with chill sirap bandung (rose syrup with milk).

Next time, when you visit Malacca, do visit Muar and joint Muarian and eat Mee Bandung.

Monkey business

Monkey and baby

At first, the park is designated for camping and jogging. But the park is famous for their resident, monkey. The monkey in the park is left wild with their diet mainly come from visitor giving food to them.

The spot is more popular to local tourist. If you want better experience, better bring from home some fruits and water to give to the monkey. To avoid any bad incident, do not display the food in front of the monkey so that the monkey did not attack you to get the food.
