14 When this stew in soy sauce vinegar noodles was served, we were impressed by its fragrance and taste. This dish has many ingredients such as fresh clam, prawn, pork, fish cake, fried onion and bean sprouts. Their sauce is full-bodied because it is simmered over a long period. The price of this noodle is only RM 2.50 per bowl. Jawa noodle (or meehom or kueytiew ) is served in tomato based gravy. It comes with sliced tofu, bean sprout, prawn cracker, potato, and sliced hardboiled egg. At this coffee shop, the jawa noodle is served with half a lime to be squeezed onto the noodle. The prawn crackers have just the right crispiness and the sauce'

s tasty. The noodle (or meehun) is not over done. Overall, the taste is just superb. For only RM

2 per bowl, it'

s a steal and worthwhile trying. Customers may choose either dry curry mee or soup curry mee in this stall. This dish has many ingredients such as bean curd, carob, fried onion, meat, bean sprout, fish cake, ikan bilis. The proprietor has a secret recipe for the delicious and fragrant sambal.

Basic infrastructure in the new village is rather limited. In fact, roads in the village are in poor condition. The only fire station in this village does not receive government support and is run by volunteers. There is no clinic in Machang Bubuk. Fire station in Machang Bubuk runs by volunteers MACHANG BUBUK
