Restoran Abu Bakar Hanipah, in the old town of Pekan Muar, is famous for its mee bandung, a specialty dish created in Muar. It is located in Wah San Kopitiam or Hua Shan Cafe (华山咖啡店), but no worries, Abu Bakar Hanipah's big signboard is very obvious.
The Mee Bandung uses thick yellow noodle added with dried shrimps, a hard-boiled egg, minced dried beef (optional), greens and drenched in a gravy made from finely-ground spices. The thick gravy is well-blended with balanced flavours of spiciness, sourness, sweetness and savouriness. It is indeed delicious.
Aside from mee bandung, another stall serves chicken, beef and lamb satays. The daging (beef) satays are grilled with a sweet sauce and served with a unique satay gravy that contained finely-ground peanuts and not spicy. The gravy was light-tasting and enhanced the flavour of the meat rather than overpowering it. Is this Muar-style? Singapore's satay gravy is usually added with coarse minced peanuts and, in Malacca, pineapple puree is added to have different flavours. Anyway, the satays here offer a different taste experience.
Don't miss Abu Bakar Hanipah's mee bandung and the satays here when visiting Pekan Muar.
