Restaurant Muar is the place for you if you miss kampung cuisine and desserts. This Victorian-aged restaurant serves a beautiful variety of meals and sweets. The flavors in return packs quite a punch, despite the fact that their cendol is smaller than normal. After all, the aromatic palm sugar syrup and delicate green strands of cendol are insanely addicting, even with the additional crimson bean topping. However, if you truly want to quench your desires, order two bowls.
