Mee Bandung Muar, or simplymee bandung (Jawi:مي باندوڠ), is a traditionalMalaysian cuisine which originated inMuar,Johor,Malaysia.[1][2][3]
The wordbandung in its name is derived from the literal meaning of the word in theMalay language, which means "mixture", "combined", "coupled", "doubles" or "pairs",[4] as is illustrated in several Malay words likeSirap bandung (rose syrup beverage mixed with condensed milk) andRumah berbandung (semi-detached orduplex house).[5] Meanwhile thedistrict of Muar is commonly and widely known to be the origin place of Mee Bandung.[2][6][7][8]
Mee bandung is a cuisine that was originally cooked with yellownoodles coupled withegg in addition to a thick broth-gravy made of a combination of dried shrimps, onion, spices,shrimp paste and chilies.[9] Then the dish was upgraded by adding prawn, meat, fish cakes and vegetables.[3][10] Special variants were then created with the additional ingredient ofgiant freshwater prawn,lobster or even cattle'sthighbone, which is fondly dubbed asGear Box.[3][11]
It has since became a much-loved dish that is available throughoutMalaysia including neighbouringSingapore,[12][13] although the original and authentic version served inMuar district is still considered the best.[2][14][15][16] It was even reported to be a favourite of the Johor'sSultan Ibrahim Ismail, former Singapore's PresidentS R Nathan and international celebrity chef-cum-restaurateurChef Wan.[17]
Mee bandung is not confused as a dish linked to or originating fromBandung,Indonesia, because they are not related at all despite similarity in the names.[4][5][18]
