Muar's Old Mosque

Muar is a small town located in the southern Malaysian state of Johore. It is only about a 25-minute drive from Malacca town, if you use the new Melaka-Muar highway...

There are numerous old buildings still standing in this town, all very much the precious jewels of this town... One of these old structures is the "old mosque" by the river Muar, the Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim... The old trees in the compound of this mosque is testimony of how old this mosque is... Apart from this mosque, another must-visit "grand dame" of this town is the Sai Kee 434 kopitiam, located right in the middle of this cowboy town...

We were heading for Muar the next morning... The kids were really happy playing with En Arip... We spent the night playing the latest games on PS2 which we had bought earlier at Mahkota Parade...

Royal crest at the entrance of the Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim,...

Here is the mosque...

Old charm...

The cloister part of the old mosque...

There is the newer, bigger mosque across the river...

Real coffee branch in a bottle, used as a table decoration at the Sai Kee 434 kopitiam *i siap makan buah kopi tu, manis!!! hehe.You can read about the kopitiam at En Arip's blog soon...

Setuju dengan nbc ..that coffee beans membawa kenangan masa kecil.Berasal dari sebuah pekan kecil sempadan Perak/Kedah My grandfather ada dusun durian yang luas yang diantara di sulam dengan pepohon kopi.Pernah merasa kopi yang ditumbuk sendiri oleh nenek.Karya saudara kali ini nampak nya bersaing sengit dengan TT.Ada kelas tersendiri.Keep it up.Gracias dari Paman.
