Everytime we visit Muar, we never
fail to enjoy Muar food, especially meebandung, mee rebus, satay, rojakpetis
and nasibriyani. The food in Muar is very mouth-watering. Muar is also famous
for its green mussels. We’re used to cook spaghetti bolognaise with seafood,
especially prawns and mussels.
While we were enjoying food under
the sky at the Muar riverbank, all of a sudden, it started to rain. Luckily, we
almost finished our meal and urgently back to the hotel. We stayed at Muar
Traders Hotel facing the Muar River and close to the Straits of Malacca.
Another beauty of Muar is Tanjung Muar, which was decorated with trees of
light. My family played kites and light toys. It was so fun. Further, I like to
see the sunset at the Muar River facing the Straits of Malacca. It is so
beautiful and cool.
My family and I were relaxing at
the hotel balcony. The Muar River flows
slowly and gently. I saw the fishermen
heading to the Straits of Malacca to earn a living. The environment early in the morning at Muar
was soothing and calm. We enjoyed the
sunrise from the side of the Muar Bridge.
Later, we adjourned for breakfast at one of the famous restaurants
opposite of the hotel. From far, we
could smell the satay aroma. It made my
mouth water and my stomach growl. On the
way to the restaurant, we stopped at one stall selling ‘apam balik’. Wow, it was
yummy and the taste was sensational. At the restaurant, we ordered the most
famous breakfast menu in Muar; mee rebus,
soto, satay and lontong. Each of us ordered different menu for us to
share the food. After eating the satay, they charged us based on the number of
sticks we ate, unlike in KL where you order a number of sticks.It is unique and
can only be found in Muar.
Our next stop
is to go sightseeing. We stopped at one
place, known as Tanjung Ketapang.
Tanjung Ketapang is the last land of Muar facing the Straits of Malacca. It’s exactly at the mouth of the Muar
River. The wind was so breezy and we
could hear the rhythm of the waves. We
also could see small ships cruising in the distance. But sure, they’re not the
“Search and Rescue” ships to search for MH370.
We also cruised through the Muar River and it was fun and enjoyable.
Our next
destination was the mangrove area. I
like to see the ecosystem of the mangrove. I have ideas to do research on the
ecosystem for my research topic later.
Muar also popular with asam pedas and mee bandung. You also can enjoy abundance of cockles, green mussels and a kind of
seafood known as ‘lokan’.
On the way
home to KL, we stopped at one coffee shop which is famous for its coffee
powder. I saw various species of coffee
beans and my mum bought a large amount of coffee powder for her officemates and
for our grandmother, who is a coffee lover.
We also stopped at one stall which sold fried durian (durian goring) and
coconut shakes. That was the first time I ate durian goring. It tasted sweet,
but I preferred fresh durian. I just
slept and rested throughout the journey home.
