Mee bandung Muar, or simply Mee bandung, is a traditional cuisine originated from Muar, Johor, Malaysia.[1] The word 'bandung' in its name is due to literal definition which means "mixed" or "pairs" in Malay language as in several Malay words like "Sirap bandung" (rose syrup beverage mixed with condensed milk) and "Rumah berbandung" (semi-detached house).
In the Mee bandung case, it is a cuisine originally consisted of only noodles and eggs besides of its soup made of the mixture of chilli, onion, spices, shrimp paste and dried shrimp. Later, the Mee bandung recipe had been improved with the addition of shrimps, meat, fish cakes and vegetables. Even though Mee bandung is now available nationwide throughout Malaysia, the one served in its own hometown in Muar is still considered the best and the most delicious.,[2][3]
Mee bandung should not be confused with the misconceptions saying that it is originated from Bandung, a city in Indonesia, as both of them are not inter-related with each other at all.[4]
Besides Muar. Mee bandung also famous in Klang and Kajang, both in Selangor after Mee Jawa and Sate Kajang.
