This time, I embarked on a day trip from Bangkok, eager to witness the changes and immerse myself in the city's cultural tapestry once again.<br /><br />The journey from Bangkok to Ayutthaya was a smooth ride, taking approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by minivan - of course you can also that the bus or train, whichever rocks your boat, offering a convenient and affordable travel option for travelers. Alternatively, there are also private taxis or organized tours that are readily available for those looking for a more personalized experience.<br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqy8d6IZiN2_R1-hZP1c2Mhvf3CG0YYoZ6OTRWve-E5AAej_2VQCm7mV86oLIsSO0NJVOsQt5TkSvmnAUWUeTNGFbwxkAuFYh5qRko_DLzaaMssIDQkiwSk6280TYVBiEKNsA_PMZEK0GL9FWFRixaDy3FutzL9tGmQIbUgY63ZeI1euOQOym8f_vUBNs/s4032/20240219_112246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqy8d6IZiN2_R1-hZP1c2Mhvf3CG0YYoZ6OTRWve-E5AAej_2VQCm7mV86oLIsSO0NJVOsQt5TkSvmnAUWUeTNGFbwxkAuFYh5qRko_DLzaaMssIDQkiwSk6280TYVBiEKNsA_PMZEK0GL9FWFRixaDy3FutzL9tGmQIbUgY63ZeI1euOQOym8f_vUBNs/w640-h360/20240219_112246.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Upon arrival, I was greeted by a sight that surpassed my expectations.

From well-maintained carparks to informative signages and clean restroom facilities, the efforts to enhance the visitor experience were evident at every turn. Kudos Tourism Thailand - am in awe.</div><br />As I strolled through the ancient ruins, a sense of admiration washed over me, witnessing the ongoing restoration projects that breathed new life into all these centuries-old structures. The attention to detail showcased a profound respect for Ayutthaya's history and cultural heritage, preserving its legacy for the younger generations.<br /><br />Among the notable temples I explored were Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Wat Phra Mahathat, and Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, each offering a glimpse into Thailand's illustrious past.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

three unique preparations - The Yee Sang with Shredded Roasted London Duck,

Chicken Roll with Spicy Sesame Sauce & Roasted London Duck. This comes as a
surprise for me as we are all aware that Peking Duck is the famous one thus far
and now the throne is taken over by InterContinental Roasted London Duck! And I
have to asked, why is it called London Duck… guess what, it actually flew in
from London. If you want to know more or curious of the taste, bring your family

I guess love transportation so much so that I even took the ferry from South Island to North Island in New Zealand (to x fly was easier but NOOOOO). Also taken ferries; jumping from one Greek island to another. Of course then there's the ferry ride from Stockholm to Tallinn - coldest one ever (traveled in Scandi in Dec, big time stupid move).</div><br />Cruise is one of my favourite ride aside from train journey, and being able to experience another Costa cruise is thrilling as each ship has different theme making it special. The only one thing that was the same was Alan, my darling maître d' (and because he remembered from Costa Romantica trip half a decade ago - one of those small little things that makes this trip meaningful).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zI4fxK2pEUBL-3FwCgUtulTHMYbdChcaNop2hk9fxDILM_q0hYQiR_ZAH4NjklbXwoK27ofHg7aSPWr9ihLwbKa5KUbPuzBA5yyuCRDhgB4cg9hnvOZVeE61car46GOxPPZOdSzWUw2QcJc1FSWFgcrcfpQbHTrskUtCnRSVDX8HC7J-9fQSRxu6F0I/s4032/20240125_234416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zI4fxK2pEUBL-3FwCgUtulTHMYbdChcaNop2hk9fxDILM_q0hYQiR_ZAH4NjklbXwoK27ofHg7aSPWr9ihLwbKa5KUbPuzBA5yyuCRDhgB4cg9hnvOZVeE61car46GOxPPZOdSzWUw2QcJc1FSWFgcrcfpQbHTrskUtCnRSVDX8HC7J-9fQSRxu6F0I/w640-h360/20240125_234416.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5N5ZLEvkddLFHBZlWdiZIBLXx4seXgSpkD98J8dgVbygWmbTbG-i2XHXBJE5sr82g2oZ0A7Gh7MjVp-GNS9nVaQyBmOfQFBIQIw46ZyesV6OGELaQ_4Dr2I5kXh3cMX4Ra9Il9kMCuZIllP821i3_wVlBWQfvG6hdH7Tuq9NfMBWPvQCk_n6GJHcBas/s4000/20240126_082613.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5N5ZLEvkddLFHBZlWdiZIBLXx4seXgSpkD98J8dgVbygWmbTbG-i2XHXBJE5sr82g2oZ0A7Gh7MjVp-GNS9nVaQyBmOfQFBIQIw46ZyesV6OGELaQ_4Dr2I5kXh3cMX4Ra9Il9kMCuZIllP821i3_wVlBWQfvG6hdH7Tuq9NfMBWPvQCk_n6GJHcBas/w640-h360/20240126_082613.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">As usual in all cruises, the all day dining are the ones that makes me feel like I need to diet for at least a month (or mebbe two).

I was advise one to at least try a fancy meal when on a cruise trip, splurge abit (or for one meal, you deserve it).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG_YKoGjYVPg45nW_J9WetmenIiO-1WG83X1DgJVBBJpsM073eBW-Z6cfJfJvx_SyvR3CwsQlTJe1yXHe8A8PkBb2SfCLp-BHFQgYnzJDdLNI9gXkwEcjLUAYyWqzl3p4znvroziDmufqMDdeyveXxvGnISmlw_r03bNESgYwgBTv_8RK6GjPO3HTlOO4/s4032/20240126_201143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG_YKoGjYVPg45nW_J9WetmenIiO-1WG83X1DgJVBBJpsM073eBW-Z6cfJfJvx_SyvR3CwsQlTJe1yXHe8A8PkBb2SfCLp-BHFQgYnzJDdLNI9gXkwEcjLUAYyWqzl3p4znvroziDmufqMDdeyveXxvGnISmlw_r03bNESgYwgBTv_8RK6GjPO3HTlOO4/w640-h360/20240126_201143.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXa2WaBKh2QZbuwpJkzzM-9NhZZt-XJBIRDWt5EdIx68-re37eQKHatLcbk0lZphymkxzKrXeFCxpAku-DlfL9HmiCOIyQZohYqqMptIWN1sVnCcENt9qqAHdC0_jutui9QPNaJU0ji-Zx94m-fRM9omArB2bdqzrXd7F4PMkMLe_JkdDAMl19GNoCP0/s4032/20240126_210826.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXa2WaBKh2QZbuwpJkzzM-9NhZZt-XJBIRDWt5EdIx68-re37eQKHatLcbk0lZphymkxzKrXeFCxpAku-DlfL9HmiCOIyQZohYqqMptIWN1sVnCcENt9qqAHdC0_jutui9QPNaJU0ji-Zx94m-fRM9omArB2bdqzrXd7F4PMkMLe_JkdDAMl19GNoCP0/w640-h360/20240126_210826.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I have to admit, this was the only cruise I went to that I actually watched the shows/performance, and I simply LOVE IT!

I felt that the song selection was meant for me, serious!</div><br />I also found out that the Islamic Cruise participants were also onboard. Having join 2 of their trips before, I came to realised (upon comparing Islamic Cruise and other travel agency/organiser during this trip) thatthe management was professional. Why do I say this? Well... This is because I approached the organiser and 'self invited' to attend 3 of their activities - the Maghrib prayers, Konsert Terapung as well as one of their daily briefings. Based on my observation, their itinerary is pack yet it was comfortable ie not tight to a point you suffocate but easy/sufficient enough for you to have ample time to enjoy the ship.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAAKeqAT4FuOYal1jVq_Vb7yIL2Hdu31O4AU_YdhskDIkb3-3Sl9j1_ptUZX2JOinGcwa69ZZGEzAB00uNrFZYK6PE8WkMXlIJZ43JSW25zNczzO2tCe1igfOZ_JT_WcAeAm1yePTRJbtqwTVAX4JZA-Bbk6Rm6Icw02eDIfpxmxGgilRKFE1wjXrfqo/s4032/20240126_190445.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAAKeqAT4FuOYal1jVq_Vb7yIL2Hdu31O4AU_YdhskDIkb3-3Sl9j1_ptUZX2JOinGcwa69ZZGEzAB00uNrFZYK6PE8WkMXlIJZ43JSW25zNczzO2tCe1igfOZ_JT_WcAeAm1yePTRJbtqwTVAX4JZA-Bbk6Rm6Icw02eDIfpxmxGgilRKFE1wjXrfqo/w640-h360/20240126_190445.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I was especially in awe during the disembarkation briefing for Phuket.

With over 20 years of professional caregiving experience, coupled with Datin herself a certified pharmacist, it come as no surprise that Narqes Confinement Centre able to provide a more structured environment and routine to ensure mothers can rest and recover in a serene and comfortable environment.

NWCC also provides clean clothing, and a comfortable bedroom that is tidied and cleaned daily (just like a five stars hotel it seems). To give comfort to new mothers especially, the centre comes with 24-hour baby monitoring service that allows mothers to focus on their own recovery.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs-XOf0dH8EMF7MM-PNFPd0z7HiUTdhKuTqv9CXOp_6OCQzBvLfyGM0jCa2XHKIg2GdiHNSnMJLqZ68BEQjrX7uviecQH27vAh6hKnyWpLFLs-7m9VNdCrfBYO46pFk8hK3khz3erF59Kj-aD8jZNXaqcHpD9T_xP5EWmtYJS9CCpHl0qqsg0KBXkhYiw/s4032/20231219_134231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs-XOf0dH8EMF7MM-PNFPd0z7HiUTdhKuTqv9CXOp_6OCQzBvLfyGM0jCa2XHKIg2GdiHNSnMJLqZ68BEQjrX7uviecQH27vAh6hKnyWpLFLs-7m9VNdCrfBYO46pFk8hK3khz3erF59Kj-aD8jZNXaqcHpD9T_xP5EWmtYJS9CCpHl0qqsg0KBXkhYiw/w640-h360/20231219_134231.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Narqes own postnatal brand</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Datuk Dr. Nor Ashikin Mokhtar further supports this notion explaining that the failure to plan effective postnatal recovery for new mothers can also lead to various risks and complications for both the mother and the child. Reason being, new mothers face several risks, including infections, especially for those with C-section wounds and episiotomies. What concern the most is that severe internal bleeding or hypertension may occur without being noticed by the mothers or their families. Lack of guidance and support in managing these emotional challenges can impact new mothers and contribute to difficulties in breastfeeding, such as issues like breast milk shortage or mastitis.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-016hGwGeMAbKisngYvXon3FraZsGMTXfkkcwv3aNXBO1_VC7um-opnMRK4n08nbgCTsaChFd1wF7vgWP0JXiCQUKHd0iPVBvVRkr4Gf4hocv3XCvXp1D2ciskgk5OxZTwOLXqB3izX3z3yeceJ0fve-IGcMMu189yVjjOwA5WscTVUsuejeKT69ek0/s4032/20231219_151518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-016hGwGeMAbKisngYvXon3FraZsGMTXfkkcwv3aNXBO1_VC7um-opnMRK4n08nbgCTsaChFd1wF7vgWP0JXiCQUKHd0iPVBvVRkr4Gf4hocv3XCvXp1D2ciskgk5OxZTwOLXqB3izX3z3yeceJ0fve-IGcMMu189yVjjOwA5WscTVUsuejeKT69ek0/w640-h360/20231219_151518.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Panel session</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the 'hot' topic is from clinical psychologist and fellow at IKIM, Khairul Azhar Idris discussing on Postnatal Depression (PND), also known as Postpartum Depression (PPD). It is serious and real condition that will severely affect new mothers and their family after childbirth and that it goes beyond the common "baby blues". This is a condition where new parents may experience sadness and mood swings in the first few days or weeks after giving birth, and many might not know that postpartum depression can persist and escalate, it can also last for weeks and months if not treated.</span></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">PND or PPD is a combination of physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors contributing to this such as hormonal changes, lack of sleep and rest, pressure, family mental health history, and other social and environmental factors.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Upon ending the session, we were taken on a tour to see and 'experience' Narqes Wellness and Confinement Centre facilities and services.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is top with homemade chili sauce, budu sauce (pickled anchovies sauce) and tumis (stir-fry chili paste) for gravy. <br /><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />It is said that Nasi Kerabu originated from Pattani during the Sultanate of Patani reign, now the modern Thailand provinces ie Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat as well as part of the modern-day Kelantan, Malaysia. It was during this reign, under successor Raja Kuning (The Yellow Queen) was at war with Singgora (modern-day Songkhla) when Pattani armies were having food shortage that lead to the military cook ration and invent Nasi Kerabu. Nasi Kerabu then was rice mixed with budu and serunding (grated coconut) and ulam. <br /><br />Many might not known that there are few types of nasi kerabu such as Nasi Kerabu Bunga Telang/Biru , Nasi Kerabu Kunyit/Kuning, Nasi Kerabu Putih, Nasi Kerabu Hijau/Ulam and Nasi Kerabu Hitam/Daun Mengkudu. There's is also Nasi Kerabu Tumis whereby the tumis is being added and usually onto Nasi Kerabu Putih and Nasi Kerabu Kuning/Kunyit. Nasi Kerabu has evolved to what it is today. <br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh98Kdi62c9WlFae2nCAXNpfHPAmoIB-_T9jzxWLDNFtrgmLqpCtTtsgg7vA2PIFgrPD1RHsAPCDvNkA6Laz6uy6BMCDBUOA9wIUGk6EcrGEzog5N6iPYTKtRWwuJsx7YYU_iQX88-6Pq3FbSJR39QjuQWQIPdalJHD5WpaycA9CnqDiEAiCdApYiQsgF0/s800/Nasi%20Kerabu%20Biru.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="800" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh98Kdi62c9WlFae2nCAXNpfHPAmoIB-_T9jzxWLDNFtrgmLqpCtTtsgg7vA2PIFgrPD1RHsAPCDvNkA6Laz6uy6BMCDBUOA9wIUGk6EcrGEzog5N6iPYTKtRWwuJsx7YYU_iQX88-6Pq3FbSJR39QjuQWQIPdalJHD5WpaycA9CnqDiEAiCdApYiQsgF0/w640-h468/Nasi%20Kerabu%20Biru.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Photo credit : Google</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Nasi Kerabu Bunga Telang/Blue</u></b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The blue colour of the rice came from comes from the petals of bunga telang, what us locals call or butterfly-pea flowers.

What makes this Nasi Kerabu unique is that it is made with 23 types of herba (herbs) and ulam blended and cook it with the rice. And that is not it, out of this 23 types of ulam, 10 of it is from the jungle. It is served with juicy ayam percik together with ulam such as bunga kantan (wild ginger), tauge (beansprout), kobis merah (purple cabbage), timun (cucumber) and kacang panjang (long bean), and of course Kelantan signature budu.<br /><br /><br /><b><u>Nasi Kerabu Hitam/Black </u></b><br />The rice is made by cooking it with daun mengkudu (indian mulberry leaf) and kaffir lime leaf - most rare type of Nasi Kerabu. The side dishes and sauce are again similar just that the taste of the rice is more herb-ish and the kaffir lime leaf creates the nice frangrant.<br /><br />To be honest, Nasi Kerabu Hitam is the only one that I have yet to sample. If you know where I can get this, please ping as I plan to revisit Kelantan very very soon. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: xx-small;"><i>#JejakWarisanBachok and #JejakAdiguru 2023 Media Fam Trip is organized by Tourism Malaysia Wilayah Timur in partnership with all its sponsors.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: xx-small;"><i>#TourismMalaysiaWilayahTimur #CutiCutiMalaysia</i></span></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p></div>Lily Rianihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06139852906750226047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711661797161744458.post-62076325434053487522023-10-27T08:30:00.006+08:002023-10-30T23:24:41.219+08:00Rumah Tiang 12 (12-Pole House) : Rumah Kelantan<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Have you ever wondered about the architecture in Malay homes that is usually differentiated by state, culture and perhaps also by occupation? Those living in coastal areas tend to build their homes on poles and this can be seen especially on the east coast, as it is prone to monsoon flooding. Where else, those on the west coast are sometimes based on culture, such as Melaka House or even Minangkabau House (in Negeri Sembilan state). </span><br /><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPjHMWYXuKzz0lK4AdZBbYG9IIcP1rCWrtmqjQZMMhmxKxLfFfmvhT4YDHNfUHo2eaSbvAPmo0ivwVuj_-7Jqoyh-MXO9qKSdoC1G8uej4VSGf8IgtkEFTamwAlePEJG4T1395OV1_U-WBaK71bkR5HfDgDfWu9xqR6_N9hagzOD_rFrYAKODa5mmFuyA/s4000/20231017_100022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPjHMWYXuKzz0lK4AdZBbYG9IIcP1rCWrtmqjQZMMhmxKxLfFfmvhT4YDHNfUHo2eaSbvAPmo0ivwVuj_-7Jqoyh-MXO9qKSdoC1G8uej4VSGf8IgtkEFTamwAlePEJG4T1395OV1_U-WBaK71bkR5HfDgDfWu9xqR6_N9hagzOD_rFrYAKODa5mmFuyA/w640-h360/20231017_100022.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">As a person who has visited Terengganu many times and is familiar with Terengganu House, this has made me wonder about Kelantan House, the significant architecture of Kelantan House, also known as Rumah Tiang 12 or 12-Pole House. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Johan Ariff Ismail, a proud owner of the 150 years old Rumah Tiang 12 in Kelantan, has shared astounding details that will leave you spellbound by its wondrous architecture.

The roof originates from Thailand and now has become part of the Malay traditional architecture. What makes it unique is that the soil being used is only available in Bachok as sodium content in the soil is a prerequisite in making a good Singgora roof tiles (tanah bendang air masin to be specific).

Makara is a type of sea animal used by the God Vishnu during his travel at sea.

This 'boat' is later being floated into the sea as an offering to the spirit of the sea. <br /><br /><b>Superstitious</b><br />Perahu kolek is a tool for the fishermen to earn a living hence it is treated with the highest respect. It comes as no surprise that some are still superstitious when it comes to stepping into the kolae - shoes are not allowed inside the boat, running too was not allowed near the bangau section, urination and defecation should not take place near the bow and profanity is a no-no. <br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-qr-CupvrIcC9HBuNI_LC-ussED6TrbQNBgTsRsyl5THa7jlZ43adZWFr0mRD2XJQfOHsOFTJfDmtNHGaEPGJ3ovG_cJRj55nzVtwyparo4_pQY5NDZDA5njH8zFoQCx0UpwpWDlOhCBoIeLrQYbCOebznmHhBE3wiYjAD3XD602ymzHfAB1eC7OEpc/s1965/20231014_120045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1155" data-original-width="1965" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-qr-CupvrIcC9HBuNI_LC-ussED6TrbQNBgTsRsyl5THa7jlZ43adZWFr0mRD2XJQfOHsOFTJfDmtNHGaEPGJ3ovG_cJRj55nzVtwyparo4_pQY5NDZDA5njH8zFoQCx0UpwpWDlOhCBoIeLrQYbCOebznmHhBE3wiYjAD3XD602ymzHfAB1eC7OEpc/w640-h376/20231014_120045.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Doa</b><br />Muslim has taken the lead in Malaysia hence reciting dua - seeking protection from Allah is being practised heavily now.<br /><br /><b>Where can you experience Perahu Kolek </b><br />You can check out Perahu Kolek as well as the floating market at Pengkalan Datu - Cerana Villa Resort.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><i><div style="text-align: center;">#JejakWarisanBachok and #JejakAdiguru 2023 Media Fam Trip is organized by Tourism Malaysia Wilayah Timur in partnership with all its sponsors.</div><div style="text-align: center;">#TourismMalaysiaWilayahTimur #CutiCutiMalaysia</div></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Lily Rianihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06139852906750226047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711661797161744458.post-91387114085807569562023-02-27T07:00:00.001+08:002023-02-27T07:00:00.183+08:00Ayam Pelembang for the WIN.

Ayam Palembang at Zebra Square Ramadan Buffet is one
dish that I look forward too, but this year… they included all balado dishes –
Terung balado, Tempe balado and my current favourite… Keli balado. Indonesia
vibing here… and I am not complaining. I mean…. They even serves sirap Bandung,
this practically nails it.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <br />Kampung dishes is what Zebra Square is showcasing for this
2023 Ramadan Buffet and I feel the dishes option do brings the kampung atmosphere.
Aside from my favourite balado dishes, they do have satay, mee goreng and many
more.<br /> <br />In my balado excitement, I forgot to take photos…. Haahhahhah…
I did videos for Instagram Story and that’s it. Bab balado ni I memang kalah lah.
So let me share you my verdict on the balado then (its only fair). The balado
in general memang sesuai with my tekak, the blended chili is not too fine (tak
terlalu halus), it is a tad spicy so not suitable for kids lah… but not too
oily. For me, win lah…. If tak pedas I probably won’t be so excited and if it
is sweet, I definitely be upset.

start getting Ramadan buffet reviews, unlike the last 2-3 year… invitation for
buffet reviews was scarce due to the C19 pandemic but this year… it’s a pandemonium,
it felt good as it shows business is picking up and everything is going back to
normal – pre-Covid era. Hope this last forever, inshaAllah. Aamiin.<br /> <br />My first Ramadan buffet review deserves a grandeur welcome to
many food reviews to come. Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar is a lucky hotel indeed,
not only able to be the first for me to pen down but also because the food is
good (kid you not), to those that I like lah… I couldn’t possibly taste all kan
nor can I like all. So here is me telling you what I like amongst those that I
tasted, and I try to be as fair as possible.

menjalankan tugas dengan telus lagi lurus bak pembaris, ahaks). I head to nasi
gulai kawah, nasi beriani and cauliflower kurma, sampled Mutton Varuval (cos I absolutely
love varuval dishes), Oxtail Stew, Spicy Prawn Sambal with Bitter Bean and many
more. Yes, the dishes are tasty as the name concocted (in English that is, the
local Malay name sounded – biasa jer). And here are my verdict; in not

Care Bear clouds, I was fortunate that the rice doesn’t have the strong chicken
rice taste thus pairs well with my local dishes. Infact I kinda like the combo –
biasa lah Malaysia suka campur makanan (kita kan banyak mix! [King Coco sangat
hahahhahah]). I did try the nasi briani, the taste biasa jer.</div> <br />The best dish falls to gulai kawah - of which I don’t have a
photo, I guess the food was so tasty that no photo was taken (so gagal jadi
food blogger), I suspected it is mutton cos after eating so banyak my BP went upstairs.

country, well this time around I would like to share an experience of walking
inside a train tunnel (a new one that is still WIP of course). This was when
attending Swiss rail Guinness record for world's longest train, with 100 passenger
coaches, as posted earlier.<br /><br />Honestly, I never knew that Switzerland actually has a railway

railway country unlike any other countries, in celebrating its 175 years of
Swiss railways RhB and its partners wanted to play their part in achieving this
huge feat.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I get to ride in the “Capricorn” electric trains travelling
through 22 tunnels and across 48 bridges on the eastern Switzerland’s Albula
Line, a UNESCO World Heritage site. I learnt that this feat was challenging as the
Albula Line has tight curves and that steep inclines restricting the train to
travel at 35 km/h. Not only that, the regenerative braking system was being employed
to control the speed. The other thing that they need to take into consideration
is that due to the number of coaches, a special software is required in order
not to overload the circuit.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94_7ZuyDZcg2UsVZFtv7g1jWXcuL-UROclONNbnbzkyll1e5CVQ1KX4zaPDSQUylIQlZyk1SiCbdVC8frmBKebEBMQ4Yw3fpr1jUPVKzZXO8O5XD4Da4jieGgQIFtfx0R5k4TLN4-nR2gBC80KwTJVvLw9hOXU7Oa4NdK33-7DLFxoAaVJuT01x_7/s1199/DSC_0016_pr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="779" data-original-width="1199" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94_7ZuyDZcg2UsVZFtv7g1jWXcuL-UROclONNbnbzkyll1e5CVQ1KX4zaPDSQUylIQlZyk1SiCbdVC8frmBKebEBMQ4Yw3fpr1jUPVKzZXO8O5XD4Da4jieGgQIFtfx0R5k4TLN4-nR2gBC80KwTJVvLw9hOXU7Oa4NdK33-7DLFxoAaVJuT01x_7/w640-h416/DSC_0016_pr.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjE3ppyIVmBeFqjlYdrltvkpMAy6J-L9CGFEDAw8LEUayA8J7tUbfGt-TBdrhMmPQF9yRV_27XM6KaErMIvsiIJp2DMDOJiLnwf9Kow2GqHv_idTkN4P1WNsPCsQen9mdAh1U5JvHWb67PdJzFys0wpf3c_ZCw12uplUcITCIf8m28Jjp7ibiPHFu/s1199/R5S_4432_pr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1199" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjE3ppyIVmBeFqjlYdrltvkpMAy6J-L9CGFEDAw8LEUayA8J7tUbfGt-TBdrhMmPQF9yRV_27XM6KaErMIvsiIJp2DMDOJiLnwf9Kow2GqHv_idTkN4P1WNsPCsQen9mdAh1U5JvHWb67PdJzFys0wpf3c_ZCw12uplUcITCIf8m28Jjp7ibiPHFu/w640-h428/R5S_4432_pr.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I asked what makes them thought of doing this event/feat,

hokkay! The first timing riding on the first open top cable car in the world,
first time riding the steepest cogwheel train, first time on UNESCO heritage
rail and many more first times. If you are planning a trip to Switzerland, make
sure to include these in your trip and experience your ‘firsts’ too.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>1.

with joy (literally) the day I rode this double decker open top cable car. I
mean I saw this a couple of times on social media before and guess what - I get
to ride 🥰 THE Stanserhorn's CabriO cableway &
funicular railway (macam orang hilang akal pun ada 😂🤣😂)!
The view on this 2 rides were simply amazing and is my CURRENT favourite...
yang ni you guys memang kena cuba/naik! Kalau tak nyesal nanti.</div><br />You may as why
am I amazed and excited right?<br />Well, it being
double deck and open top is already the plus point.<br />The funicular
trail ride view is simply breathtaking. Zikir tak habis-habis masa naik,

experience for me is being able to ride on the world’s STEEPEST COGWHEEL
railway that goes up to the Mount Pilatus. It hit the maximum gradient of 48%
and made its first trip back in 1889. This was scary yet I was in awe, because
48% steepness is nothing compared to Penang Hill train ride yah… this is
another level altogether.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvKeCAR2Vl-U6xsA2CShsljXDE185AlATK5CkUazgub_4N62tmZSQJr5ArDOxOUM5sEIX1-RkFsUWihiRoUJ0hWkDO3IFeT1a0MwbVoyaZd3O9XN8MG_DU2Pts2_xSAF6saVJL7ipP5bnt0nD3L7mluLRvhORyzFVFGR0tArtxJReeQJ5-EZVSZlp/s4000/20221024_144000%20q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvKeCAR2Vl-U6xsA2CShsljXDE185AlATK5CkUazgub_4N62tmZSQJr5ArDOxOUM5sEIX1-RkFsUWihiRoUJ0hWkDO3IFeT1a0MwbVoyaZd3O9XN8MG_DU2Pts2_xSAF6saVJL7ipP5bnt0nD3L7mluLRvhORyzFVFGR0tArtxJReeQJ5-EZVSZlp/w640-h360/20221024_144000%20q.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBEB42rAjTGyixiT2dj5siUjplh3Mn38CjWAows-A0BgqtyNR4WFeQzuWxk7rIQnVmG7tWe_uwWp0Qqa5Oj1okP8I4Cq2SxPFr8x0Ysv6x0fp5WqNnninJ5EO5RaHBIL7datUAqsut4Ro-WgppuKY_STyHc2k0iQdfAI88911ZDJ_7sgfR8HOUZ_HB/s4000/20221024_154617%20q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBEB42rAjTGyixiT2dj5siUjplh3Mn38CjWAows-A0BgqtyNR4WFeQzuWxk7rIQnVmG7tWe_uwWp0Qqa5Oj1okP8I4Cq2SxPFr8x0Ysv6x0fp5WqNnninJ5EO5RaHBIL7datUAqsut4Ro-WgppuKY_STyHc2k0iQdfAI88911ZDJ_7sgfR8HOUZ_HB/w640-h360/20221024_154617%20q.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Similar to
CabriO, you can also do an easy hike of of 7.7km long which takes you 1151m
uphill and approximately 100m downhill. This call hike take between 3-4 hours
long depending on your speed lah. It starts from valley of Eigenthal and ends
on Pilatus Kulm and do take note that hiking at Mount Pilatus is very steep and
hikers have to be swindle-free.</div> <br /><b><u><br /></u></b></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>3.

experienced riding the Mount Rigi Cogwheel Railway - the first cogwheel train
in continental Europe that started way back in 1871. This railway experience is
slightly different in my humble opinion, perhaps because of the little village
on Rigi Kulm itself that gave a more country and local feel (I am definitely
gonna plan a one night stay here in my future trip). You get to see locals
doing their daily chores while greeting you.<br /><br />Ticket to Rigi
Kulm is CHF45/€47 return, and there might be a discounted fair if you were to
purchase it online so do check. Oh yah! There are also small hotels here, you
can also opt to stay a night and enjoy the fresh mountain air. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkVMIe1Pj38/" target="_blank">Check-out photos and videos HERE</a>. <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Eh7KqOEYc1eRl8xeNCzeCPTXfn6WUms0nAllQweUtQM5DfAcniLZhU4dKJ3s1oG03Q3zKp_OGN8Qx74D3f7urY08VEHa97PDdJoK82CK8QX_TbuDBNTko4PcQtGAHF3VZgqVvXcAk5khe-h9s28LEyBaYps6E-IdPw72duSMf97D7iCPtwlhfgSc/s4032/20221026_110750%20qw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Eh7KqOEYc1eRl8xeNCzeCPTXfn6WUms0nAllQweUtQM5DfAcniLZhU4dKJ3s1oG03Q3zKp_OGN8Qx74D3f7urY08VEHa97PDdJoK82CK8QX_TbuDBNTko4PcQtGAHF3VZgqVvXcAk5khe-h9s28LEyBaYps6E-IdPw72duSMf97D7iCPtwlhfgSc/w640-h360/20221026_110750%20qw.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><u>Things to do in

you reach Brusio the viaduct spiral downwards overlooking a lush greenery in

‘train-surfing’ while sipping a glass of coffee.<br /><br />Opened in 1908,

Sit at the
LAST coach for you to see the train coiling the viaduct.<br />2. You can
actually do a quick to/fro trip if you are not on this route BUT have a Swiss

Campo Cologno after spiralling down.<br />4. And took the
next train back.<br />5. Get on a
coach that you can open the windows for better photos/videos.<br />6. No left or

platform I saw but I remembered that there is a sunset cruise in Kota Kinabalu
and one should experience these. When I got the chance to experience this ride
I obviously jumped with joy. So off we went, a sunset ride into the sea.</span><br /><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHaj-kQ3RZbLHEy0MIZ4pxq6FJmZkNr-is_H8PqoZgAeEu7bdmaqt7eAveF06Zq9FjxgGs2IlG8ui-ASmXCI6trNpmEybF3qfuCKXnKdKNEJw6koeHQCuGfK-kvZ0Xr00F_Q0hpARbfYSdPEkvPM__e5UZ6igdeSp8g1I0jjz9eM6tUMW0HqRI9Sh/s564/Borneo%20Cruise%205.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="441" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHaj-kQ3RZbLHEy0MIZ4pxq6FJmZkNr-is_H8PqoZgAeEu7bdmaqt7eAveF06Zq9FjxgGs2IlG8ui-ASmXCI6trNpmEybF3qfuCKXnKdKNEJw6koeHQCuGfK-kvZ0Xr00F_Q0hpARbfYSdPEkvPM__e5UZ6igdeSp8g1I0jjz9eM6tUMW0HqRI9Sh/w500-h640/Borneo%20Cruise%205.png" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #262626;">We took the North Borneo Cruises for sunset
dinner that departs form Sutera Harbour, Kota Kinabalu.</span> The package we
took comes with dinner and like any other cruise, performance is often part of
the package so the nonchalant me was unimpressed. But guess what… the band is
so entertaining, we start singing along, public karaoke, that mambo-train-line-what-do-you-call-it,
we dance, other people dance, cha cha cha started…. It was so much fun. So much
so, I forgot to eat cos I don’t want to miss the fun.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span style="color: #262626;">This scenic cruise takes you past the Tunku Abdul
Rahman Marine park and down the central coast, and glides along the city’s
famous Waterfront.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> As you all know, Kota Kinabalu has one of the most beautiful
sunset and being able to see it from the cruise perfected this trip</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 10.5pt;">.</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsuhnVZFl3TibS32T0zAst8E3vTp6wLeXqZ4QZ7PNXIhMDFkAeBJxvKaNXIEcbgywh1IMJ3apK24Kx4UQjo5bCSV9l3dthRkiOIqf6TgvHXxy2llqNH9BDc3MGAOHAECTDd-7FdTK46FXvf2ix8_KEnrcPYxsuFPQL83rI_ZIfj2Ak4a02G8O53P3C/s555/Borneo%20Cruise%201.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="446" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsuhnVZFl3TibS32T0zAst8E3vTp6wLeXqZ4QZ7PNXIhMDFkAeBJxvKaNXIEcbgywh1IMJ3apK24Kx4UQjo5bCSV9l3dthRkiOIqf6TgvHXxy2llqNH9BDc3MGAOHAECTDd-7FdTK46FXvf2ix8_KEnrcPYxsuFPQL83rI_ZIfj2Ak4a02G8O53P3C/w514-h640/Borneo%20Cruise%201.png" width="514" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRbA6ugO2iehlAkptOFyFh6Nm13hpVWeIiKZfx78IpaFRKRuJ8GXmMN-zhfBUukAHUeU_2NmFllY3RpkGn5ZpJ3aiHbNw4Dw9AOS16Qy_k-ozRwfarOkOuZQZimwp3ydr6ZgKZnDTEKb6HNE5kuEJje1Q6f-RAhQ4fbPI60bbh3DCiHFR3Zhnl2lf/s496/Borneo%20Cruise%202.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="496" data-original-width="441" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRbA6ugO2iehlAkptOFyFh6Nm13hpVWeIiKZfx78IpaFRKRuJ8GXmMN-zhfBUukAHUeU_2NmFllY3RpkGn5ZpJ3aiHbNw4Dw9AOS16Qy_k-ozRwfarOkOuZQZimwp3ydr6ZgKZnDTEKb6HNE5kuEJje1Q6f-RAhQ4fbPI60bbh3DCiHFR3Zhnl2lf/w570-h640/Borneo%20Cruise%202.png" width="570" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What I would recommend if you are planning a three or four days
Kota Kinabalu trip is to have seafood dinner on one of the nights, and the
other night you can book this cruise ride. As for accommodation, the new hotel that
we stayed is not bad either. You can stay there here at The Luma Hotel – it is
so worth it.</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55Web0b17SYbWgqcyQL_-HlvIsxISh_Vpc_DAJNfGCATcWjW9c7zvSgZgN80bfktbjndFGbS-8GaCDIjmtI2Ftd_MgI7nswW5X3sNu8H0GLHIRA49N4pFKnARBnfhNvQ418Mz9Zyzzp89Iao0jsDdD1JWVs90Qbg4L_y0_OwdYpcleXHga3yDVps_/s4032/20220928_171048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55Web0b17SYbWgqcyQL_-HlvIsxISh_Vpc_DAJNfGCATcWjW9c7zvSgZgN80bfktbjndFGbS-8GaCDIjmtI2Ftd_MgI7nswW5X3sNu8H0GLHIRA49N4pFKnARBnfhNvQ418Mz9Zyzzp89Iao0jsDdD1JWVs90Qbg4L_y0_OwdYpcleXHga3yDVps_/w640-h360/20220928_171048.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: verdana;">There’s a promotion that is currently ongoing

place for you to experience Murut culture is at their community-based Marais
Center, located at Kampung Marais in Tenom, Sabah. And I was made to understand
that Marais Center is managed by Koperasi Marais Centre where its main

community here.</span><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZabxQEMMPos8LsCwJjlGlFGzGEXWJRiwagHdEKcxfvhmXJvg40UXjB9-FJ-e4fqO04zgl8eTOqsrAb4MFh1Ik1L60HkYrBRIUIxpNOAWVwfzf_YK1ND8dhvjkFCIBitt90kanwypMnnfi-cHbsQY0a1i5GCYdBhxpwvTwBMrVHO3xH06BWj56xDL7/s3005/20220929_134739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3005" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZabxQEMMPos8LsCwJjlGlFGzGEXWJRiwagHdEKcxfvhmXJvg40UXjB9-FJ-e4fqO04zgl8eTOqsrAb4MFh1Ik1L60HkYrBRIUIxpNOAWVwfzf_YK1ND8dhvjkFCIBitt90kanwypMnnfi-cHbsQY0a1i5GCYdBhxpwvTwBMrVHO3xH06BWj56xDL7/w484-h640/20220929_134739.jpg" width="484" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">This
beautiful village is enveloped by mountains, surrounded by paddy field
surrounded with river and creeks. Activities offered here depicts their daily
lifestyle that has been inherited many generations ago, amongst it are paddy
cultivation, rubber tapping, lanjung weaving (a type of Sabah rattan basket),
barksloth making (Murut traditional attire), bead crafting and many more. Other
activities that for the city folks might be interested paddy field and hillside
cycling, rubber tapping, fishing net and trap making and perhaps cooking local
delicacies. Of course, these activities have a nominal cost attached to it,
worry not as it is not pricey (unless you plan to partake in all activities).</div><br />We were
also introduced to the Murut traditional attire and some of us donned in their
traditional attire for cultural experience. Murut men traditional attire
consist of tree bark vest or babaru puputul, a red loincloth, and a headdress
decorated with Argus pheasant feathers.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6tb4EGLFocoTQDfhl1LqaLgy4Fehi2tDO-WA2kPbCMrW2VibG8Gx6MA4WhMf-LmT5GO2NVITjqPyy5UK9dCvjkWoibQODBDtKYknxTRg_DOdGZznvjPFX50obE-FvXCfPPQ8bI49UK_FqMkxu37XkA4cwDC-3qRBcPnSdcdavNPc9Ai6T6g1JOSlh/s3508/20220929_114130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3508" data-original-width="2255" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6tb4EGLFocoTQDfhl1LqaLgy4Fehi2tDO-WA2kPbCMrW2VibG8Gx6MA4WhMf-LmT5GO2NVITjqPyy5UK9dCvjkWoibQODBDtKYknxTRg_DOdGZznvjPFX50obE-FvXCfPPQ8bI49UK_FqMkxu37XkA4cwDC-3qRBcPnSdcdavNPc9Ai6T6g1JOSlh/w412-h640/20220929_114130.jpg" width="412" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Traditional

long cloth made of the inner bark of a puputul tree. The cloth worn on the
waist where it is passed between the legs. Cotton cloth is used to attached at

to symbolise bravery.

Sinulatan is taken from the word sinulat which means weaving. It is a tree-bark
head gear, some were decorated with Argus pheasant feathers (local call it as Tawou).<br /><br />The other
thing that fascinated me was the ladies’ head gear that resulted to me seeking
permission to buy them, unfortunate they have none to spare so I told them I
wanna have a picture with it. Oh yah, I bought their beautiful bead neckless.<br /><br /><b><u>Traditional
Dance</u></b><br />Murut
Timugon tribe from Tenom is famous for the Magunatip dance, the word Magunatip originated
from the word ‘apit’ which means ‘jepit’ or pinch. This dance is commonly known
as bamboo dance, performed with two bamboo poles clapping together to the gong rhythm.
Dancers will skip/jump in a timing (to the rhythm) to avoid their feet being
clapped.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh484mPNqRjUmNCutHptOQtTgvb9Stsx4otPqhv74d8UbhEOFkqZPdqhWalEtw4sP93nU2OWei1UN_EAlxIKTdLIGJI5Pmqc4nFg1DwBfBDk_j-VwHWNjuCIEmcoslFAIpYCkghlgx5Ij5mQ7521mOV8_eW1TtKy_ZGkdP9QsgbiFQm5ZjNc1Izm82/s4032/20220929_114718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh484mPNqRjUmNCutHptOQtTgvb9Stsx4otPqhv74d8UbhEOFkqZPdqhWalEtw4sP93nU2OWei1UN_EAlxIKTdLIGJI5Pmqc4nFg1DwBfBDk_j-VwHWNjuCIEmcoslFAIpYCkghlgx5Ij5mQ7521mOV8_eW1TtKy_ZGkdP9QsgbiFQm5ZjNc1Izm82/w640-h360/20220929_114718.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Delicacy</b></div>Local

NO, I was wrong. It is totally a different place (nearby of course) and much
more family-friendly (and Lily-friendly too).</span><br /><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5XImqeigEAXT5dfGBMDG2wksDk5px2GSgIOjiBNkmsW_jjjjxSuMNh6xGttanjosgf_cfDFPdQBYDOrMus-1ruO59s6CHzMRhhCnyrw8ISXuGMXvb1aST57Q1Wn7zr5bjv8TSkUZEXRgK70tC4gsKWWscQoqG9L3HiFtX_B2qGBEeAlEGOMlK1R80/s591/20220726_104102%20a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="591" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5XImqeigEAXT5dfGBMDG2wksDk5px2GSgIOjiBNkmsW_jjjjxSuMNh6xGttanjosgf_cfDFPdQBYDOrMus-1ruO59s6CHzMRhhCnyrw8ISXuGMXvb1aST57Q1Wn7zr5bjv8TSkUZEXRgK70tC4gsKWWscQoqG9L3HiFtX_B2qGBEeAlEGOMlK1R80/w640-h480/20220726_104102%20a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I was totally surprise at first, thinking that it is a camp

in a comfortable room and can roam around doing outdoor activities within the

not guys. You can row and row plus the fact that it is small, the more reason
you should not be worrying. Can even try this with you kids.</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Hiking</b></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you stay here (not available for day-tripper) then you
are entitled to register and join the hike. As the hiking area is a private
property (if not mistaken) hence public is not allowed thus making the jungle
area more pristine.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Camping equipment for rent</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">You heard me right, alright. If you wanna build your own
camp/tent but don’t have the necessary equipment then all you need to do is
just rent. Don’t waste money to buy and later have no place to store, or even
worst… you gonna use it that one time only. No no… rent is better.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Food</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">As mentioned earlier there’s 2 cafes inside the park but my
advice is to bring your own food/drinks, reason being the main gate closes at
9pm ie no one is allowed to go out nor come it after 9pm. Mati kutu kot nanti.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">There is also open spaces for you to conduct activities or
telematches as the place is suitable for teambuilding and family day event.
Plus the fact that it is near KL (approximately an hour or so) makes it a great
place for such event.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do go and check it out.</span><p></p>

the hill. Not glamping tau, camping minus all the glams staff lah ofcourse.

BEST BEST
BEST! This is one place that I highly encourage you to come over the weekend.
They have hedgehog… I wanted a pic with it but I am so scared of it quills. Do
you know that the hedgehog cannot shoot its quills to defend itself. Then of
course I ran towards the llama and alpaca. Both animals are part of the camel
family - Camelidae. Llamas are larger than alpaca, and of course Alpacas have
cuter with blunt nose. They also brought me to check out a…. WHITE CROW.
Apparently, it is an albino crow – very rare indeed.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><a href="http://lilyrianitravelholic.blogspot.com/2022/08/bentong-farm-must-go-guys.html" style="font-family: verdana;">To find out more, visit my earlier post <b>HERE</b>.</a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>2.

go eat good food, where cyclists escape the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur
and where one stops before heading to Genting (fun for some, sad for the rest [shopping
and gambling]). Where I was brought during my 3days 2 nights stay in Bentong
certainly caught me of guard (walhal dah bagi itinerary siap-siap, Nampak sangat

plantation, the birth of it and how the locals back that live, grow and make is
what we are today. Aside from this, it also touches on Felda history in

they lived as well as town they grew.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmT5aaz3PKPE5R5DUWzyT7TS-JrfciwD7TEwNAKpHpCjD6osjfcuwVkqWHVr54YsnUdDUdqauDgTmQMK9A6zV67MmWS8F9f1oUjvKopKU8Tf3Moqx0iPZmygc5n04PGO-qVp3Uc2ZLrjDg--L_wkfaHIW8NH84r__lkJdkuMRtYrRZ3MqFwfeldZFk/s591/20220728_155738%20V2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="443" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmT5aaz3PKPE5R5DUWzyT7TS-JrfciwD7TEwNAKpHpCjD6osjfcuwVkqWHVr54YsnUdDUdqauDgTmQMK9A6zV67MmWS8F9f1oUjvKopKU8Tf3Moqx0iPZmygc5n04PGO-qVp3Uc2ZLrjDg--L_wkfaHIW8NH84r__lkJdkuMRtYrRZ3MqFwfeldZFk/w480-h640/20220728_155738%20V2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglsghjUKgMuA4H-HEU1RF2V620zqf2wEoyMGBv7oQOmN_3rjTRMGnzsQ7oopq6KOFYWq5SHu13lbfHtgvfLqZpv-uRzKQL0hvrtHn8GIhIo0rHi40OCcohog4eeM8Gyh7LbsJ0iN7qeb3yns0OQLM8JCcWcfQyTzqysTVSdVbGDklWk8IRQfg_Prum/s591/20220728_155949%20V2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="591" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglsghjUKgMuA4H-HEU1RF2V620zqf2wEoyMGBv7oQOmN_3rjTRMGnzsQ7oopq6KOFYWq5SHu13lbfHtgvfLqZpv-uRzKQL0hvrtHn8GIhIo0rHi40OCcohog4eeM8Gyh7LbsJ0iN7qeb3yns0OQLM8JCcWcfQyTzqysTVSdVbGDklWk8IRQfg_Prum/w640-h480/20220728_155949%20V2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Aside from the above, I personally feel maintenance,

brim as many wanted to sample the food, experience the ambience and learn the
houses’ architecture.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The con side :</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Like I
said earlier, it is full to a point that guest are required to make reservation
and no walk-ins are allowed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, the question is on whether the food is yummeh and what type of
food do they serves kan. Basically it is lauk melayu kampung ie the belado, the
masak lemak, the nasi lemuni, the kerabu and many more. I was told that during
fruit season, you can also enjoy fruits from their orchard.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">As for the architecture… I love love love. I don’t even know
where to begin, the houses were of Terengganu’s bangsawan of which the owner
managed to obtain. The 3 units were meant as a family get-away home however the locals and passer-by were so curious that they kept peeping to want to see more,
eventually due to persuasion by friends and acquaintances they purchased 2
more units that is now coverted into a balai for their restaurant.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaD4pKF7Tb15BM7W53xHys3K2A_F47SW_iD9NtxZfOnasLfSpeQlXEPvoc7Y7TbpGGLyhAMHPS1WjmsdyppjoQisI3y5g-K2xMdjaB12pMj6d7pECEdxLv0rROmvI3HTxWYg7XKp20t2XbELEiPEO1n7nq0rnZ4e-_kdhkkwJKufAYLBl52KLCOkB/s591/20220729_131232%20V2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="591" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwaD4pKF7Tb15BM7W53xHys3K2A_F47SW_iD9NtxZfOnasLfSpeQlXEPvoc7Y7TbpGGLyhAMHPS1WjmsdyppjoQisI3y5g-K2xMdjaB12pMj6d7pECEdxLv0rROmvI3HTxWYg7XKp20t2XbELEiPEO1n7nq0rnZ4e-_kdhkkwJKufAYLBl52KLCOkB/w640-h480/20220729_131232%20V2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40EIca7uZFvdv13Diovdz1yL2UuHo9eYvdTx63i-0NzcC7ISxFTpbeD1twcOryreYiqm3kfWWBsZM4A6sLjIpfABnG8A4JvhA7-8vXGGuzTKgMoXL3bFHEUiyZDR0HKVkNPvy-MYmI8UIGHw9oQv6sWzXKl1425ReRr4e-r75Xo2IJv4an9rqh5Na/s591/20220729_131408%20V2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="591" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40EIca7uZFvdv13Diovdz1yL2UuHo9eYvdTx63i-0NzcC7ISxFTpbeD1twcOryreYiqm3kfWWBsZM4A6sLjIpfABnG8A4JvhA7-8vXGGuzTKgMoXL3bFHEUiyZDR0HKVkNPvy-MYmI8UIGHw9oQv6sWzXKl1425ReRr4e-r75Xo2IJv4an9rqh5Na/w640-h480/20220729_131408%20V2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There’s so much more for me to tell, infact I think Istana Lemuni
