Mee Bandung Muar, or simply mee bandung (Jawi: مي باندوڠ), is a Malaysian noodle dish which originated in Muar, Johor.[1][2][3] It is made with yellow noodles, egg, a thick gravy, and meats and vegetables.

The word bandung is derived from the literal meaning of the word in the Malay language, which means "mixture", "combined", "coupled", "doubles" or "pairs",[4] as is illustrated in several Malay words like Sirap bandung (rose syrup beverage mixed with condensed milk) and Rumah berbandung (semi-detached or duplex house).[5]

Mee bandung was originally made with yellow noodles, egg and a thick broth-gravy made of dried shrimps, onion, spices, shrimp paste and chilies.[6] Later, prawn, meat, fish cakes and vegetables were added.[3][7] Variants include versions with giant freshwater prawn, lobster or even cattle's thighbone, which is known as Gear Box.[3][8]

Mee Bandung Muar is available throughout Malaysia and Singapore,[9][10] although the version served in Muar district has a reputation as the best.[2][11][12][13] It was reported to be a favourite of the Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Ismail, former Singapore's President S R Nathan and the celebrity chef Chef Wan.[14]
