Mee Bandung Central

Mee Bandung is often associated with Muar. Yet, from my early days, my tastebuds were usually attracted to the more regular local noodle fare like Mee Goreng, Mee Rebus and Mee Soto. That was until last Sunday, when fate decided to arrange the date, that my parents decided to stop at this Mee Bandung stall, located just outside Muar town (Tjg Agas, opposite Sek Men Sains.). The place was called Mee Bandung Central, no joke, gone are the days where stalls were simply known as "Warong Mamat" or "Warong Ali".

The Mee Bandung was simply the most popular dish here(they didn't have much choices in the first place). Here, the noodles were cooked in sweet spicy soup with a tinge of dried prawn paste. The dish was accompanied with pieces of chicken, bean sprouts, tofu and egg. All for a affordable price of RM3.00. Reminds me of Mee Rebus with less-thick soup and a good dose of chili ... simply worth the 29 year wait ...
