10 Great Places to Eat from Muar and Tangkak to Johor Bahru

Driving from Muar to Tangkak and on to Johor Bahru but not sure where to eat? In our latest video, FuyohhTV shares 10 food spots you can add straight to your list along the way.

1. Sama-sama Cuisine, Muar. The concept is Malaysian fusion: local food with a modern twist. The menu runs from seafood, burgers and drinks to desserts, good for families or friends. On Google Maps it holds 4.9 stars from more than 4,500 reviews.

2. Kedai Kopi Alsaeed, Muar. For breakfast, the vibe is old school, with lontong, nasi lemak, mee jawa, satay and otak-otak. Best with a hot coffee.

3. Asam Pedas PakNdak (Parit Tiram), Muar. Seafood fans should not skip this. The highlights are fresh Muar oysters and fish asam pedas, enjoyed by the river.

4. Cendol De'Raja, Muar. After all that spice, cool down with cendol: regular, glutinous rice, corn, beans and even durian. Still hungry? There is rojak, mee bandung and sengkuang calit too.

5. Burger D'Raje Western and Grill, Muar. Burger is in the name, but the menu is wide, including western dishes like chicken chop. A best seller here is the burger with smoked beef brisket.

6. Cafe Lorong by OG's, Muar. For a relaxed breakfast or lunch that feels like eating at home, with local dishes like nasi lemak with sides, rendang paru, lontong and satay.

7. LIBTA Coffee, Muar. For coffee lovers, LIBTA has its own roastery, so you can try traditional or specialty coffee in an industrial-style cafe. There is western food and much more too.

8. Pak Maon Western, Tangkak. In Tangkak, try the western food here with generous portions: chicken chop, lamb chop, pasta, nasi padang and, best of all, a tray set to share with the group.

9. Leypark D Sawah, Gerisek. Hang out by the paddy fields over fried snacks and western food. We missed the sunset, but the cool paddy breeze and quiet village vibe were still great.

10. Restoran Sri Pantai Asam Pedas, Kampung Sungai Melayu, Johor Bahru. End the trip with Johor asam pedas and seafood in a fishing village setting.

From warung breakfast, fresh oysters, coffee, western food and cendol to Johor asam pedas, it has everything. This video is part of the #VisitJohor2026 and #VisitMalaysia2026 campaigns. If you are planning a food hunt from Muar to JB, save this article first.
