Abu Bakar Hanipah’s stall, 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 poached egg, chopped cuttlefish, minced dried beef, greens and drenched in a gravy made from finely-ground dried shrimp and spices. The thick gravy is well-blended with balanced flavours of spiciness, sweetness and savouriness. It is indeed delicious.

Aside from mee bandung, another stall serves soto, chicken and beef satays. The daging (beef) and ayam (chicken) satays are marinated with sweet sauces and grilled on orders. The nicely-grilled and tender meats have pleasant sweetness from the meats and are tasty on their own. Best to savour them while hot.


The satays are 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 nice taste experience.
