Another popular dish served at most Chinese Restaurants in Muar. Muar is a small and yet extremely busy town at the Northern part of Johor and it is just located next to the river of Muar. Plenty of fresh seafood supply available daily and that is why otak-otak is so popular around here. This dish might look extremely hot & spicy but it is actually NOT at all. You will surprise how lovely the combination turns out ! Please read on for more.
