A DAY TRIP TO MY HOMETOWN, MUAR

Yesterday (2nd Dec) my Trial exams just over. But the misery will begin again on 6th December, this coming Wednesday with my Final Exams.

Tomorrow (4th Dec), my trials results will be out. Cross my hands and pray. But it was my family (except my bro) who decided to go back to our hometown (the town where I first saw the world) today (3rd Dec). So, here let me share with you my trip experience.

Wantan Mee at the roadside

The Muar Wantan Mee (3 Large & 1 Small bowl = RM 11.50)

2 glasses of Sugarcane (RM 1 each) + 2 glasses of Barley (80 cents each)

Total: RM 15.10 for our lunch for 4 persons? Not in KL but in Muar, Johor.

The ever famous Kedai Kuih Yong Sheng (hyperlink to its website too) in Muar, Johor. What many tourist wants in Muar is the otak-otak and what is famous in this Yong Sheng Confectionery.

Tourists from all over Malaysia (not including me lah...I'm a Muarian mah but living in PJ now) as well as Singaporeans will flock in this shop just to shop for its famous "heong piah" and many others. If you are in Muar, do check it out their outlet:

Carrot Cake (Chai Tau Kueh) from Muar -
RM 2.00 (Large Packet with Extra Eggs)

Some other "kueh" (I know in Hokkien of course but not in English)

All this you can get in this street call "Tam Chiak Kueh" (literal translation means "greedy street" but in the true fact is that it is like our Jalan Alor (Wai Sek Kai) in KL.

Basically my trip of Muar began from PJ at about 12.30pm and we reached at almost 2.00p.m. After "shopping" about and visiting relatives we left at about 5.00p.m. We just pick whatever we wanted and off we go.

Oh yes, we never left Muar, Johor without our otak-otak. Our favourite famous Muar Bakariah Otak-otak. My dad bought back 100 packets of frozen otak-otak and 40 sticks of grilled otak-otak.

One of my friend studying in Sunway who happens to be from my same kampung (knew him through my cousins) plans to sell otak-otak in Sunway and Taylor's respectively to lecturers and students. Maybe we will try it after my final exams.

Till then, check back often.
