Muar, Johor, Malaysia｜Mee Bandung Hajah Milah Cawangan Muar

An impromptu trip to quaint Muar or “Muo” per the locals, brought us first to this small gem of a restaurant as one won’t be able to miss its vibrant yellow and red signboard featuring also a photo of (perhaps) Hjh Milah herself! We went for the mee bandung udang galah special and rojak tempe. The gravy of our mee bandung is laden-filled with tastes of the sea (plenty of ground dried shrimps and blended parts of fresh prawns). It is sufficiently runny, enough for a good slurp and pleasantly soured from pastes of fresh tomatoes. The udang galah - I would like to think the restaurant gets its seafood supply from the nearby Selat Melaka as the prawns are plump and juicy. My only small feedback for this mee bandung is, for the added egg to have a runny yolk so to give the gravy a creamier taste. The rojak tempe is interesting. The tempe is really the “toppings” of the rojak dish, which consists of mainly fried tofu, sprouts and kangkung. The star of the dish is really the rojak paste or sauce which has a good balance of the prawns’ heads paste, (chilli) spice and other condiments. I myself would prefer it to be perhaps a bit less sweet and more spicy but overall it is still a good rojak dish.

Quite good, can taste prawn sweetnees for Mee Bandung Special Udang. Egg totally cooked. If the egg is half cooked, it will be taste better.

Nice crew. Fast service.
