Muar Day Trip
We woke up early, determined to finally feature Johor on our channel. After getting ready, we hopped into BiBi at 8:30 in the morning and began our drive south.
Arrival in Bandar Maharani
Once we left Melaka, traffic thinned out. Within an hour, we arrived in the royal town of Muar, also known as Bandar Maharani. It felt calm and welcoming right away.
Muar sat at the mouth of the Muar River and carried a long and rich history. As we drove around, we could feel that this was an old town with stories to tell, yet still very much alive today.
Breakfast in Town
Since it was our first visit, we took a short drive around before parking near Mee Bandung Abu Bakar Hanipah. Naturally, this became our breakfast stop.
We ordered:
- 2 bowls of Mee Bandung with beef
- 1 iced lime drink
- 1 hot coffee
Breakfast came to RM19.20 (≈ USD/EUR4), which felt incredibly affordable and satisfying.
Exploring on Foot
At ten in the morning, we began exploring Muar on foot. Our walk soon led us to Muar Street Art, where colourful murals lined a quiet lane. We spent some time enjoying the artwork before continuing along Jalan Sayang.
We turned onto Jalan Maharani, walked west, and eventually reached the Muar Maharani Bus Terminal. Inside the food court, we found seats by the river and rested for a while with drinks, enjoying the slow pace of the town.
Sea Breeze at Tanjung Ketapang
After that break, we returned to BiBi and made a short drive to Tanjung Ketapang. The sea breeze was refreshing, and the open space gave us a moment to slow down and take it all in.
First Impressions
By early afternoon, we began our drive back to Melaka. Along the way, we talked about our impressions of Muar. It was a small town full of charm, rich in history, and easy to imagine living in. We even agreed it might rank among our top places to retire someday.
A Milestone Reached
With this visit, we realised something special. We had now featured all 13 states of Malaysia on our channel. As the late Sudirman once sang, “To Know Malaysia Is To Love Malaysia.” We felt proud and content reaching this milestone.
Stay tuned for our next video as we went out under the blazing sun in search of light refreshments.
