Muar Chinese food

Muar, which is about 45km south of Malacca city, is a town
most well-known for its Otak-otak, its O-chian (fresh oyster
omellete), its mee rebus along the Muar river banks, the part
which is referred to as Tanjong, and its assam fish in Patang
(not Patong).

I know of friends who travel all the way down from KL (a two
and a half hour trip) just to satisfy their yearn for the O-chian
and Otak-otak. The best O-chian is found along Jalan Haji Abu,
the food street in Muar. This melting pot of all sorts of food
is smack in the center of downtown Muar. Any visitor to this
coastal town once known for its bicycles will not miss it.

A trip to Muar without tasting the O-chian and Otak-otak is
definitely not complete.
