Wooo Mee Bandung looks amaziiiiinnngggg!! Since 1930s??? wow! Love how they put up those pictures of VIP visiting their place. Thanks for the list of things to eat here in Muar, taking note of all your recommended places to eat, since we've never been to Muar before!!
Hope to see videos from Muar from you guys someday! We really think you guys will love it here. Such a nice town with so much delicious food! The Mee Bandung was a great way to end our stay in Muar - so tasty
@@FoodandFootprints Maybe in Malacca, u guys can learn from d nyonya how to make kaya. Simple ingredients, but need lots of patience stirring d mixture.
Like what Greg mentioned about 434 coffee, this shop has a HUGE coffee factory not very far from their retail shop but because of Covid, it had to be shut down! ☕
Yes, Johor has a strong coffee drinking culture. Muar otak otak is supposed to be the best in Johor! For sup kambing, its a close fight with Batu Pahat.
One of the reasons why we love Johor! As coffee and food lovers, it is a wonderful place. Muar otak otak is delicious! We had some in JB but not in Kluang or BP. Will have to try the sup kambing in BP sometime!
Loll jumi😂😂 49 yrs then change to long time 😆 yep the main point it's been there for long time hahaa.. man woodfire coffee, never see that anymore these days! Love how Jumi just steal the toast while Greg talking, I do that too 🤣
We got our confirmation! www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2020/11/17/old-world-flavour-in-muar It was sooo cool! Really one of the coolest places we’ve been to in all of Malaysia. That old world charm is something we love. 😂😂😂
The spice that lingers is dangerous! We'd absolutely love to try Mee Bandung, it is really great to see they haven't lost any quality over the years even though they hosted so many famous people, very nice!
all the recommendation look so good, I having simple dinner at home while watching ..really good research and food guide for viewers..of course the kopi o kosong old school taste really good since Greg make it himself..great filming and editing from Jumi, I guess.. street art murals and quaint old buildings and town..really enjoyed watching. wish it was longer
You know charcoal is the GOAT for us hahaha, love me some charcoal Peanut sauce? Your face of happiness is all we need to see ! Damn you make food look even more delicious
My late mother was a Muarian. Whever we were in Muar. We used to go to KIM LENG to tapow Chicken Pie n Cream Puff.. N Right opposte of KIM LENG we used to eat Satay n Mee Bandung. Those were the days.
Daaaamnnnn satay for breakfast!!! These guys know how to enjoy life, why wait for supper when you can have it in the morning!! Awwwwh that lontong looks soooo goooood!!!
@@FoodandFootprints for mee bandung..i recommend you to try mee bandung central..in muar there are different taste of mee bandung..hahaha..but i personally love mee bandung from mee bandung central..more spicy and their broth more thick..
Those toast with a nice warm coffee is all I need this morning So cool to see how they make the coffee and that you guys got to record it. Look at that cream, that coffee has to be so rich in flavor
Hey Greg and Jumi!! It's so cool you're taking us along to Muar! What a beautiful little town and it's so fascinating seeing the Colonial architecture. That's cool that this coffee shop has been open for so long. Covid is screwing with businesses everywhere. But it's good you can still get products there at least!! :)
Muar looks so cool! bummer you weren't able to drink the coffee inside the store it looked so OG Authentic. The vibe of the whole town was just awesome definitely with you guys on the underrated in Malaysia. Thanks to this video we will def need to visit sometime in the future too. Dannnngg look at that mutton leg wow that looks good and the straw for the marrow is genius. You know you found a good kopi store when they have the lil green and cream mugs haahahha love places like that, Yens family would take me to these kinda morning spots in Melaka too.
Yesss you guys have to come to Muar! It is just a short trip away from Melaka - only an hour or so. Beautiful architecture and chill vibe for sure. Definitely under the radar compared to Ipoh, Penang, KL, Melaka, etc. The soup was crazy good and agree the straw is genius. Love the old school kopitiams and this one had the most unique vibe of any we’ve been to. Very special spot
That toast with the coconut pandan jam looked like a really tasty breakfast!! Love that last spot you went to with all the photos of the Sultan, and Prime Minister and people who frequent this place. We're just glad that chicken seems like a common option a lot of the places you visit!! Thanks for taking us with you and love you both to the mother effin' moon! Safe travels! :)
Hi Food and Footprints! ======================= Muar is my hometown. Hope you guys love it just like my fellow MUOrians do! I have something to share here: A) You need to come back to complete your hunt for Muar specialties: ------------------------------------- 1. Mee Bandung - / 2. Asam Pedas Parit Jawa - X 3. Rojak Petis - X 4. Otak-otak Muar - / 5. Mee Udang Galah - X 6. Murtabak Tanah Melayu @ Singapura - X 7. Apam Balik Mini (snack) - X 8. Mee Siput (snack) - X 9. Fresh Oysters - X 10. Nasi Ayam Berlada - X 11. Laksa Bakri - X 12. Elephant Bean Coffee - / 13. Morning satay, Lontong and Soto - / 14. Muar Chwee Kueh - X 15. Muar Oyster Omelette - X 16. Sabak Awor Grilled fish - X 17. Muar Soup - / B) Sabah grows 70% of Malaysian coffee, Johor grows 20%, and the remaining 10% come from the rest of Malaysia. However, Ipoh Perak has the honour of becoming one of the 3 Asia's top coffee spots with its white coffee. Elephant beans = the size is longer than the normal coffee beans. C) Which one tastes better? When you nod your head or when you shake your head? Haha... I really adore the way both of you explain your food. Your vocabulary and knowledge about local food are amazing. Definitely a doctorate level.
So good to know you are from Muar! We loved your hometown and definitely want to come back. Thank you for that detailed list! We tried the oyster omelette, but just didn’t film it. Bakri laksa, chwee kueh, apam mini, asam pedas at Parit Jawa we read about but just didn’t get around to trying. Excellent list! And thank you for that detailed explanation about the coffee. Exactly what we wanted to know. So Johor is a big coffee grower then. We will have to try Sabah coffee whenever we make it there. Enjoyed the white coffee in Ipoh too. Now it makes sense why they are called elephant beans! Hahaha don’t even think I know the answer to that one! 😂😂 We really appreciate the kind words and support. Comments like these really make us smile. We are far from doctorate level, but we do love the food and it has been great to try more of it from places we never would’ve visited otherwise like Muar, JB, Kuantan, KT, KB, etc
@@FoodandFootprints Wow, thanks for the loooong reply!! There is a saying in our community: "If you find something not so good about us, do tell us for an improvement. If you find things are good, tell your friends about us".
wow. thanks for featuring my hometown muar. i think this is the first time i ever see a foreign youtuber exploring this small town. and you guys really did your research too. its nice to have someone with such a chill mannerism who did a great research and shoot this with such artistic style. and especially the kopitiam - i remember my dad use to take me there, he will pour the coffee on the small plate so it cool down faster and i can enjoy it. sometimes we use the plate to eat half boiled egg too. that kaya and butter toast bread also looks heavenly. homemade kaya is the best. you cannot get more local than that. thanks for the nostalgia trip haha.
Thank you very much for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed our video on your hometown. We really liked Muar - such a nice town with lots of great food. We would love to go back to see and eat more. That kopitiam was really special - the old world feel was unlike any other we’ve been to in Malaysia. Great how it brought back memories for you
It has a city feel but also small town when you go outside of the center. We LOVE the colorful colonial buildings, so we fell in love with Muar very quickly
You guys are my food church!!! I had to stop watching and then finish the next day. The food spoke my language and then, the coffee!!!! Fire brewed, OMG! Dark and rich; PLEASE!!
Food church! That is high praise 😁 Oh man we have been spoiled by all the nice dark rich coffee here. And thankfully we have a nice big stash of that Elephant bean coffee to drink on the go
That soup house... was no joke when it came to that thick soup. We love cumin, and that broth was so rich looking. Haba.. it looked like the writing for the shop was in Arabic. Satay looks so flavorful and we're glad it was marinated well!! We could eat a whole ton of these!!
The Arabic script is called Jawi here. Malay language but using the Arabic script. We loved the soup house! Some of the best soup we’ve had in Malaysia. Sooo easy to eat tons of that satay
Otak x 2 🤣🤣 Oh wow! You guys did a great job recording how to open them up, the color inside the otak otak and just overall the close ups, i felt like I was there opening it up with you. And it's making me want to try those so much. You guys are truly enjoying those!
Well, you have tasted coffee in Johor. Have you ever tried coffee from the other states?. Well, if you go to Ipoh (Perak State). You should try Ipoh Coffee. They eat it with toasted kaya bread (toast on charcoal grill) & 1/2 boil eggs. If you're in kemaman (terengganu state). You go to kemaman kopitiam right in the middle of the town. They have a branch in kuantan, Pahang. If you are in sarawak state, this is need to try. Kopi Luwak, this is the most expensive coffee in the world. Borneo best selling coffee worldwide.
We have! Ipoh white coffee was great - we tried it at a few of the classic kopitiams there along with kaya toast. We had some nice kopi kampung in Kedah too. Also plenty of coffee in Penang. Unfortunately didn’t get to try Kemaman Kopitiam. Remember reading about it while researching where to eat in Kuantan. Definitely will try lots of local coffee when we make it to Borneo.
I only discovered Kopi 434 recently. Yup it is truly good quality coffee with a unique taste. Its a pity you couldnt dine in, the coffee shop have great modern ambience with a slight old charm. Muar has a reputation as being a food haven in Johor, people from JB do family / company daytrips just for the food! I know people from Seremban who would drive 1 1/2 hours just to have breakfast there!
434 is wonderful - some of the best coffee we’ve had in all of Malaysia. Shame we couldn’t dine in, but we will be back again someday. We can see why Muar has such a reputation for being a food haven. Really enjoyed our few days there. Also such a nice looking town with a great vibe. We love how people take food road trips in Malaysia! True food lovers
That 434 coffee is amazing! Still drinking the sachets we bought to take with us. Haha think we could do some damage on 10 boxes of otak2. So easy to eat lots of them!
I like the way you guys talk about the kambing sticking to the local Malay language.. I am a Muarian.. But, not living there.. Love is still there in Muar.. Would always go back for the satay for breakfast and air pear...
you still can go to muarvfrom melaka. it only takes 35 to 45 minutes from Malacca Town... and you can also have a layby at pantai siring, merlimau on your way there...and on your way back you can have ikan bakar in umbai....
Going to a clean city is always great - and it is great that it is is recognized for that. Love the teasers at the begning of the video. Both of your excitement is always top notch!!!!
Just one of the most sensuous and engrossing food tour vlogs I have ever come across. As soon as I can get a permit to fly (I'm an Australian. The permit is a real thing!), I'm there.
Thank you very much, Mark! Really appreciate that 🙏 Muar is a great destination to pair with Melaka. Both are beautiful towns with so much mouthwatering food and a short distance apart. Hope that day comes as soon as possible!
Agreed with Jumi, Muar or Muo (how the locals pronounced it) is so underrated. Muar's kopitiam is as good as you can get in Ipoh & Penang. Muar foods ie. satay, mee rebus, mee bandung Muar & asam pedas Muar are very delicious too. Thank you for covering Muar's food!
So true - the coffee in Muar is wonderful and lots of variety of food. Still so much left to try and we may have to return for round 2. Really enjoyed our time there. Our pleasure - thank you for watching!
Awwwh muar otak otak!! Why they have frozen otak otak is because people buy back as souvenir when they visit Muar (or Johor), and we fry it at home to go along with our meal (usually a bigger square box instead of individual sticks), or as snack. Love these otak otak!
Hoi Kenai is a establishment ! Look at the kitchen!! Thats old school! Thats tradition!! Thats following fathers footsteps! I like that!! Loving thenwoodfire toast!!! Wow gotta have the earth smoke aroma!! Amazing
It is! And funny you mention following her father’s footsteps because that is exactly what she did. That aroma is sooo nice! www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2020/11/17/old-world-flavour-in-muar
Dark coffee isn't for us... we'd go with Greg's coffee for sure and when it comes to a spot that has been there since 1953... we'd certainly give the elephant bean coffee a try.
@@FoodandFootprints That particular soup is more delicious during cold weather. D more bones cooked in d broth, d more delicious d soup is, like sup tulang or sup ekor.
Enjoy for watching great upload dear i am your new friend coming with full support your channel keep going on waiting for your visit back stay connected 💞💞💞
Whooooaaaa love the mutton soup consistency! Mmmm bone barrow, and sucking them through a straw! Thanks for recommending, we'll definitely love to check out this place!! Classic push cart, good to see that they've expanded their business!
just looking at Greg’s expression when he bites into the satay. Makes one feel like going to Muar and having the satay there. Yumps
That smoky flavor is just amazing!
Yes finally my hometown... yes we can eat satay 24 hours hehe
Haha we can see why - so good with that smoky flavor. If we weren’t eating more, we could’ve eaten like 50+ satay
Sipping bone marrow with straw! Only in Asia 😆 that broth is crazy, looks so amazing
Haha love how they give you a straw for the bone marrow - so thoughtful. The broth was sooooo good
Wow Jumi's coffee is so dark!!! Darkest coffee ever LOL! Those cups definitely look like they'll wake you right up with just a few sips 😂
Haha this coffee woke us up quickly!
Ooo great to see you guys highlighting an underrated town! It looks like it has a lot of character, would love to visit someday!
Yes! A benefit to staying in Malaysia for so long is getting to visit smaller towns like this one. Definitely has lots of character! Highly recommend
Forgot how much you two loved coffee!
Yup! We are surrounded by coffee here in Malaysia
Mee bandung since d 1930s, wow, that's a long history of goodness. Almost 3 decades before Malaysian independence. 90 years of deliciousness.
We love places that have a long history to them. And still going strong for good reason too
Wooo Mee Bandung looks amaziiiiinnngggg!! Since 1930s??? wow! Love how they put up those pictures of VIP visiting their place. Thanks for the list of things to eat here in Muar, taking note of all your recommended places to eat, since we've never been to Muar before!!
Hope to see videos from Muar from you guys someday! We really think you guys will love it here. Such a nice town with so much delicious food! The Mee Bandung was a great way to end our stay in Muar - so tasty
The ULTIMATE MUAR MALAYSIAN culinary tour is too much food
really like
Thank you for watching!
YUMMM that satay looks amazing! "we're all about that charcoal life" HAHA I love that 😂
Yesss grilled meat over charcoal is the best way, especially satay!
Oh, we love that woodfire smell! One of the perks of being in "rural" areas. You hardly get that in big cities!
Yesss that wood fire smell is always so nice and comforting.
This is hidden gems of Malaysia ❤
Muar definitely deserves more attention!
Home made kaya, that's even more special.
It is! Wonderful to see the big batch of home made kaya and hear about the process. Would love to see them make it one day
@@FoodandFootprints Maybe in Malacca, u guys can learn from d nyonya how to make kaya. Simple ingredients, but need lots of patience stirring d mixture.
@@Yasin_Affandi you can make your own kaya in a bread maker. I make my kaya with the bread maker and it was just as yummy 😉
@@kellie88 Thanks. Maybe I'll try it one day, but need a bread maker first, hehehe.
@@Yasin_Affandi if you buy a bread maker buy one with a 'jam' icon.
Saya budak Muor... Like 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 👍
@@FoodandFootprints welcome. U find breakfast satay and mee bandung only in muar ... and coffee 434 original too in muar 😊😊😊
OMG.. Otak-otak from Muar is so popular.. I recall eating like 30 of them many years back during 1 dinner session... lol
Haha we believe it! We could each polish off 30 of them too - so tasty
Omg that soup!!! Hahah I love how they give a straw to sip the marrow! The broth looks soooo packed with flavor & hearty!
It is packed with flavor for sure! Loved this soup
Been waiting for this video.... love it... that satay.. yummy.. that elephant coffee really nice.. I love it.. thanks for bring it for me..
Our pleasure! That coffee is so good and we are really happy that you enjoy it 😁
Like what Greg mentioned about 434 coffee, this shop has a HUGE coffee factory not very far from their retail shop but because of Covid, it had to be shut down! ☕
"Nothing is elephant in here", pointing the coffee, it's funny and cute at the same time 😂
I was about to comment the same 😆
😂😂😂
Yes, Johor has a strong coffee drinking culture. Muar otak otak is supposed to be the best in Johor! For sup kambing, its a close fight with Batu Pahat.
One of the reasons why we love Johor! As coffee and food lovers, it is a wonderful place.
Muar otak otak is delicious! We had some in JB but not in Kluang or BP.
Will have to try the sup kambing in BP sometime!
My hometown...😍😍😍. Miss Muar a lot, its been a year since my last balik kampung. Really glad both of u have enjoyed ur time & tried great food there.
Your hometown is awesome!! We loved it there. Thank you so much! Definitely a place we would return to and try more food
18.55 used to drink coffee from the saucer which made it cold faster.
Thanks for stopping in Muar. Tourists skip this town for Melaka 👍👍😎
It was our pleasure - we were really excited to visit and it didn’t disappoint. It deserves to be a tourist destination on its own
Loll jumi😂😂 49 yrs then change to long time 😆 yep the main point it's been there for long time hahaa.. man woodfire coffee, never see that anymore these days! Love how Jumi just steal the toast while Greg talking, I do that too 🤣
We got our confirmation! www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2020/11/17/old-world-flavour-in-muar
It was sooo cool! Really one of the coolest places we’ve been to in all of Malaysia. That old world charm is something we love. 😂😂😂
Sup kambing with the gearbox, wowww look at the colour and the thickness of the soup.
Must be a really satisfying soup for you guys, kambing lovers 😄
Sooo nice and rich! It was one of the most satisfying soups we’ve had in Malaysia for sure
The streets and building of Muar looks so calm and clean.
Wow satay for breakfast?
Muar is such a nice town! Yesss satay for breakfast 🙌
Terengganu, Melaka, Kelantan, and Johor's CMCO will be lifted tomorrow
Kelantan's will be implemented starting tomorrow, not lifted.
My mistake, is Melaka, Kedah, Johor and terengganu
Yes this is great news! Hoping things continue to stabilize and that CMCO won’t have to be implemented again 🤞🤞
The spice that lingers is dangerous! We'd absolutely love to try Mee Bandung, it is really great to see they haven't lost any quality over the years even though they hosted so many famous people, very nice!
It is a must try in Muar! Love that it has been going strong for so many years
It's so cool seeing them make that toast like that! Combined with the kaya jam and paired with the coffee, looks like a must-try!
Loved this place! Such a special family-run business doing it the old school way
Seeing how they prepare that otak otak is definitely interesting!
Yeah! He had a real rhythm to flipping them over on the line
The kaya toast at See Hoi is really old school and love they use charcoal to toast it. That’s good that you managed to learn making the coffee too 👍🏻
We loved this kopitiam! Unlike anywhere else we’ve been. So much charm and character
Haha fiuhh good to hear nothing elephant in that coffee lol =p found that coffee in South East Asia is quite thicker and stronger, love it!
This coffee is unlike any other we’ve had here in Malaysia
all the recommendation look so good, I having simple dinner at home while watching ..really good research and food guide for viewers..of course the kopi o kosong old school taste really good since Greg make it himself..great filming and editing from Jumi, I guess.. street art murals and quaint old buildings and town..really enjoyed watching.
wish it was longer
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed this one. That is saying a lot if you wish it was longer - it was one of our longest videos! 😂😂
Noodles 🤤🤤🤤 with beef and prawns
Every time you say spicy and sweet, it gives us hope that we can eat it without making a scene hahaha
Haha the spice in this may hit you guys pretty hard. Just a heads up 😂
@@FoodandFootprints funny faces coming up lol
You know charcoal is the GOAT for us hahaha, love me some charcoal
Peanut sauce?
Your face of happiness is all we need to see ! Damn you make food look even more delicious
Man that charcoal smoky flavor was SO strong on these satay
Soup kambing looks amazing.. always fun to see the straw and how you can drink from the bone!
That soup was epic! Haha it is such a great idea to include the straw

That cumin is making you excited Greg. It;s okay. I am liking it also! Great editing on this episode !
Cumin always makes me excited! 😂😂
Thank you so much, Matt! Appreciate it 🙏
Wow muar soup w a bone marrow! Rich and warm and hearty! Love that color of that soup love the thickness
Oh yeah! That bone marrow makes it extra rich and delicious. Seriously some of the best broth we’ve had here

Muar soup house is legend, sup kambing taste like a real sup kambing haha, sometime weekend kl bikers come just to get the sup
Can see why KL bikers make the trip down. It is sooo good!
This part of Malaysia feels different somehow...it has more of a city feel! And very more urban colonial buildings
It has a city feel but also small town when you go outside of the center. We LOVE the colorful colonial buildings, so we fell in love with Muar very quickly
You had us at cup of coffee and kaya. We're having coffee as we speak. :-)
Yesss perfect timing, guys!

yes more Otak-otak! we will try it as many as we could and yeah agree with Jumi, could eat it everyday!
Yessss we can’t get enough when we get started eating them. Everyday

That soup house... was no joke when it came to that thick soup. We love cumin, and that broth was so rich looking. Haba.. it looked like the writing for the shop was in Arabic. Satay looks so flavorful and we're glad it was marinated well!! We could eat a whole ton of these!!
The Arabic script is called Jawi here. Malay language but using the Arabic script. We loved the soup house! Some of the best soup we’ve had in Malaysia. Sooo easy to eat tons of that satay
Wohoo. I love Malaysian food 👍
It is amazing!
I can eat like 10 otak2 by myself 😆 sooo good
Easy! 10 is a snack
That was a good otak otak, u can eat it every day, that's nice Jumi. N Greg can eat it all day long, very nice. U guys really loved this one.
We really did! Even bought a bunch to take back to JB with us. Very easy to eat a lot of these
@@FoodandFootprints Glad u guys enjoyed Every single bit of food & beverage in Muar! 5️⃣🌟
@@joycetan4684 Thank you very much, Joyce! We certainly did and would return for more
Are the otak otak halal?
Otak x 2 🤣🤣
Oh wow! You guys did a great job recording how to open them up, the color inside the otak otak and just overall the close ups, i felt like I was there opening it up with you. And it's making me want to try those so much. You guys are truly enjoying those!
Thank you!! Definitely wanted to show the up close and personal shots of the otak2. Absolutely delicious and we bought more to take back to JB with us
@@FoodandFootprints awesome
Welcome my Muar Bandar DiRaja.. I'm stay here and enjoy Muar food guys. you miss Parit Jawa Asam Pedas..
Awesome you stay in Muar! Very nice place. Thank you! We heard about the asam pedas in Parit Jawa, but didn’t have time to make it there
Well, you have tasted coffee in Johor.
Have you ever tried coffee from the other states?.
Well, if you go to Ipoh (Perak State). You should try Ipoh Coffee. They eat it with toasted kaya bread (toast on charcoal grill) & 1/2 boil eggs.
If you're in kemaman (terengganu state). You go to kemaman kopitiam right in the middle of the town. They have a branch in kuantan, Pahang.
If you are in sarawak state, this is need to try. Kopi Luwak, this is the most expensive coffee in the world.
Borneo best selling coffee worldwide.
We have! Ipoh white coffee was great - we tried it at a few of the classic kopitiams there along with kaya toast. We had some nice kopi kampung in Kedah too. Also plenty of coffee in Penang. Unfortunately didn’t get to try Kemaman Kopitiam. Remember reading about it while researching where to eat in Kuantan.
Definitely will try lots of local coffee when we make it to Borneo.
I only discovered Kopi 434 recently. Yup it is truly good quality coffee with a unique taste. Its a pity you couldnt dine in, the coffee shop have great modern ambience with a slight old charm.
Muar has a reputation as being a food haven in Johor, people from JB do family / company daytrips just for the food! I know people from Seremban who would drive 1 1/2 hours just to have breakfast there!
434 is wonderful - some of the best coffee we’ve had in all of Malaysia. Shame we couldn’t dine in, but we will be back again someday. We can see why Muar has such a reputation for being a food haven. Really enjoyed our few days there. Also such a nice looking town with a great vibe. We love how people take food road trips in Malaysia! True food lovers
We love all of these old school towns. No elephant, noted hahaha 😂 We'll need some cream and sugar on ours :-)
They are awesome! Haha you can definitely get some sweetened condensed milk in it if you’d like.
Oh I miss muar coffee, otak2 and the food is so cheap.
I used to takeaway 10boxes whenever I go there
That 434 coffee is amazing! Still drinking the sachets we bought to take with us. Haha think we could do some damage on 10 boxes of otak2. So easy to eat lots of them!
I like the way you guys talk about the kambing sticking to the local Malay language..
I am a Muarian..
But, not living there..
Love is still there in Muar..
Would always go back for the satay for breakfast and air pear...
We love Muar! Would definitely go back
You forgot about jambatan no 1... people love do something at that bridge..only Muar people know
Ahh good to know - thank you
you still can go to muarvfrom melaka. it only takes 35 to 45 minutes from Malacca Town... and you can also have a layby at pantai siring, merlimau on your way there...and on your way back you can have ikan bakar in umbai....
Nice that Muar is so close to Melaka. We may go back again for a day trip
Otak"2 ...very best 'from muo' ..sir 👍😋 ..kopi 434 very popular in muo' n satey muo' mee Bandung 👍😋
We loved all 4 of those Muo specialties!
Wow the kaya looks so good and yeah heard that need hours for making kaya, lots of brown sugar and pandan, yumm!
Yesss love that they make it in-house. Labor of love 🙌
Nice the place..watching from dubai stay connected.
Thank you for watching!
Now you made me wanna drink some coffee!
Haha right? We went on a coffee bender here in Muar. A coffee lovers town!
if u come back here, make sure u directly go to Murtabak Tanah Melayu .. please please please and welcome ☺️
Thank you for the suggestion! Just marked it on our map for our next visit to Muar
Going to a clean city is always great - and it is great that it is is recognized for that. Love the teasers at the begning of the video. Both of your excitement is always top notch!!!!
Thank you! Always like to have an intro to get people excited for what is to come. Muar is such a nice town
Just one of the most sensuous and engrossing food tour vlogs I have ever come across. As soon as I can get a permit to fly (I'm an Australian. The permit is a real thing!), I'm there.
Thank you very much, Mark! Really appreciate that 🙏 Muar is a great destination to pair with Melaka. Both are beautiful towns with so much mouthwatering food and a short distance apart. Hope that day comes as soon as possible!
Agreed with Jumi, Muar or Muo (how the locals pronounced it) is so underrated. Muar's kopitiam is as good as you can get in Ipoh & Penang. Muar foods ie. satay, mee rebus, mee bandung Muar & asam pedas Muar are very delicious too. Thank you for covering Muar's food!
So true - the coffee in Muar is wonderful and lots of variety of food. Still so much left to try and we may have to return for round 2. Really enjoyed our time there. Our pleasure - thank you for watching!
If you want to go to 434 coffee's factory, it located in Jalan Bakariah Muar
Would love to visit someday! The coffee is excellent
You missed the duck in Soy Sauce.. its near the market where the Otak2 are sold..
Thanks for the suggestion. So much more to go back and try in Muar
Local malaysian coffee has a strong aroma, but quite low in caffeine. Not as strong as european coffee
That is good to know
Wow!Both of you seriously know where to explore great & fantastic food,should bring Ken to try.....Bon apetite 🤤
Thank you very much! 😁
Ooh this place definitely has an old colonial feel. Also love how you guys started the video with some coffee.. 👍 elephant bean mmm..
It does! We love these colorful buildings - lots of character. Yess the coffee in Muar is legendary and always a great way to start the day
Mee bandung Muar.... really miss this town. Especially during this pandemic. Good job Greg and Jumi. Keep it coming.
Thank you very much! We loved Muar
Yes visiting the factory would be awesome! Coffee cities really pull me in, lieles is more of a turkish tea kinda guy lol 😆
Haha this would be the city for you then. But don’t worry, Malaysia has lots of tea for Lieles too
@@FoodandFootprints great
Awwwh muar otak otak!! Why they have frozen otak otak is because people buy back as souvenir when they visit Muar (or Johor), and we fry it at home to go along with our meal (usually a bigger square box instead of individual sticks), or as snack. Love these otak otak!
Ahh that makes sense! Food is the best kind of souvenir 😁
Ooh, I don't think we've ever had satay for breakfast. Great way to start the day!
Hoi Kenai is a establishment ! Look at the kitchen!! Thats old school! Thats tradition!! Thats following fathers footsteps! I like that!! Loving thenwoodfire toast!!! Wow gotta have the earth smoke aroma!! Amazing
It is! And funny you mention following her father’s footsteps because that is exactly what she did. That aroma is sooo nice!

That's my kind of coffee, straight black
Yes love the bitterness, that's why I try not to put sugar in my coffee, i like to feel the taste as well
This is the perfect coffee to have straight black
Yesss 🙌🙌
Dark coffee isn't for us... we'd go with Greg's coffee for sure and when it comes to a spot that has been there since 1953... we'd certainly give the elephant bean coffee a try.
Haha there’s always options to add condensed milk here. You guys will be good 👍
D mutton soup must have tasted really delicious, thick n spicy broth n u were loving it Greg. Terrific.
Absolutely delicious soup! So thick and rich. Could have eaten a few bowls of it
@@FoodandFootprints That particular soup is more delicious during cold weather. D more bones cooked in d broth, d more delicious d soup is, like sup tulang or sup ekor.
Enjoy for watching great upload dear i am your new friend coming with full support your channel keep going on waiting for your visit back stay connected 💞💞💞
Thank you!
Another great food tour guys. Really enjoying your travels around Malaysia.
Thank you so much, guys! We are loving being able to slowly travel Malaysia and visit smaller towns like these too
Otok2 you should try at kemaman.
It is better than kuantan. People from kuantan eat a kememan, terengganu.
Good to know! Never made it to Kemaman. When we were in Terengganu, we didn’t get to try the otak2, but did eat lots of sata
434 is their actual telephone number. They are one of the earliest in Malaysia to have a phone.
So cool
Whooooaaaa love the mutton soup consistency! Mmmm bone barrow, and sucking them through a straw! Thanks for recommending, we'll definitely love to check out this place!! Classic push cart, good to see that they've expanded their business!
This sup kambing was sooo good, guys! You have to try it whenever you make it to Muar. Famous for a reason 👍
Thanks for the video.... made me missed going there for a food trip.
Thanks for watching! Such a great place for a food trip
