Pekan, is the Royal Town of Pahang, and so the history goes. The town always being associated with royal activities, the polo spot and of course this particular dish, Murtabak Mengkasar. In Malaysia, you can find 'murtabak' at almost every nooks and cranny and it would depends on one's preference on how the wish their murtabak is. My selection is, the murtabak should have lots of minced meat, with smaller portion of diced onion and balanced well with herbs and spices, of course wrapped thinly with 'roti canai-like' wrap. I would say, murtabak is like a lasagna minus the bechamel sauce and it's grilled not baked.

Royal Museum of Pekan
The Royal Museum of Pekan has recently being refurbished where most of its dilipidated parts within the building received treatment while retaining its original architecture. However the whole exhibit is still incomplete with most of the display missing its caption and narration. Should give it a little bit more time to complete its function and it's worth another visit. Love the new sculpture that being incorporated within their landscape compound - a very unique creations.
You can get more information of Pekan and Pahang in general from the
Pahang Tourism website.
