German Galore

Eastin Hotel – a business hotel that Free Trade Zone (FTZ) managers like to allocate their foreign visitors here. Seriously I never visited their cafe, namely Swez Brasserie before.

Muar’s Asam Pedas

Asam Fish 亚参鱼

Other than Otak-Otak, another famous food in Muar is Asam Pedas – a sour and spicy stew dish. Unlike north region’s version, Asam Ikan such as the one above (RM53.00 – market price) was simply sour and spicy.

P1150606_800
