Mee bandung Muar
Mee bandung Muar, or simply Mee bandung, is a traditional Southeast Asian cuisine which originated in Muar, Johor, Malaysia. The word bandung in its name is derived from the literal meaning of the word in the Malay language, which means "mixed" or "pairs", as is illustrated in several Malay words like Sirap bandung and Rumah berbandung. It is a misconception to think that the name indicates that Mee bandung originated in Bandung, a city in Indonesia; the two are unrelated.
Mee bandung is a cuisine that originally consisted of noodles and eggs in addition to a soup made of a mixture of chilli, onion, spices, shrimp paste and dried shrimp. Later it was improved by the addition of shrimp, meat, fish cakes and vegetables. Even though Mee bandung is now available throughout Malaysia, the version served in Muar is still considered the best.
