Best of Long House Sarawak

Nanga Nungunis an Iban settlement in the interior of Sarawak, accessible from Sibu. Originally, there were only three longhouses but during the Emergency between 1948 and 1960, the Fedral Government grouped the Ibans together to prevent them from trading food for protection with the Communist.

Today , nanga Nungun comprises 15 modern longhouses with concrete bases and cement walls. The Ibans stay in these communal longhouses that take on the names of the headmen. For example, Jabu would be the headman of the longhaouse Rumah Jabu or Jabu House. And you may expect everyone in a longhouse to be related to each other.

The Ibans lead relatively simple lives. they gather food from the jungle, fish and plant their own vegetables. try holding a conversation with the Ibans and you will find them a warm people. Greet them in their own languange with Nama brita Nuan or How Are You?.

Older men prefer to be addressed as bapa and older women ibu. The elderly folks are illiterate and can only speak the Iban languange. But those aged between 30 and 50 would have had primary education and speak Iban and Bahasa Malaysia. Today the younger ones speak Iban, Bahasa Malaysia and some English . A few have had tertiary education too.

WHY GO

WHAT TO DO
Go fo a boat ride on the rejang River, its like taking an eco-tour of the longest river in Malaysia. Take time to go for a swim an enjoy the serene environment. Modern Ibans are generally friendly people. They would talk to you on the verandah and even serve you tea and crackers. They have a fondness for Jacob's Crackers. But before you enter a longhouse, visit the penghulu or headman of the community first.

WHERE TO SHOP
Sundray shops sell a range of groceries or you can take a boat ride to Song to buy meat. You can also buy unique patterned mats, hats and bags at affordable prices.

WHERE TO STAY
In the longhouse but get permission first. Usually guest are expected to bring food for themselves and the host family in exchange for accommodation.

WHERE TO EAT
At the headman's home or at any of the Iban homes. There are no restaurant and all foods is shared.
During the twoo weeks annual rice harvest festival or Gawai Dayak beginning June 1, guest can help themselves to free flow or food served on the verandah og longhouse - fro free.

WHEN TO GO

Best of BALIK PULAU

Mentioned Penang and thoughts of hawker food, heritage buildings and sandy beaches come to mind. However, there is another part of the island that offers refreshing country air, charming mosques, soothing sight of padi fields and seafood caught fresh from the seas, gutted and placed of the brazier, and not to mentioned delicious durian. Indeed, Balik Pulau is all these and much more! Its name is bridged from 'di sebalik pulau' meaning 'on the other side of the island.'

A Little Bit of History
According to historical records, the early Malay settlers on Penang island were refugees from kedah who were fleeing from Siamese invaders. They made their homes in Bukit Dumbar and Bayan Lepas. later, in 1786, when the Chakri Dynasty came to power in then Siam and expanded the Kingdom, there was more migration of Malays and Thai Muslims from Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Perlis and Kedah to Balik Pulau. This scenic area, surrounded by hills, was a perfect place to escape persecution from their enemies. Today , manu facmilies in Balik Pulau trace their ancestral roots from Southern Thailand.

Why Go
The district of Balik Pulau provides a glimpse of slow-paced rural life that is disappearing due to development. The drive along the winding road there offers a fantastic view of the coastline and the surrounding off-shore island.

When you reach Balik Pulau , head for the picturesque fishing villages with interesting cottage industries. Several have interesting origins of their names. For example, teluk Kumbar was named after a palm called pokok kumbar, kampung Pondoh Upeh was so named because earlier settlers built their huts with the leaves of the upeh pinang and Kampong Sungai Burung was founded on the mouth of a river with plenty of birds.

What to do
Balik Pulau is arguably the best place in penang to see beautiful mosque. Just outside the town is a 100 year old colonial misque that features an onion-shaped dome. Further a head, the magnificent Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau symbolises the glory of Islam on the Island. Featuring marble floor inside, its architecture was inspired by Middle East design elements. Five kilometres further ahead, the modern Masjid Jamek Simpang Empat is an attention-grabber, with its steel dome decorated with elegant geometric patterns. In Teluk Kumbar, there's Masjid Ridwaniah, its white minaret adorned with fretwork complemented by similar designs in its compound walls.

From Teluk Kumbar, proceed to Kampong Pulau Betong. As you approach the village after passing through picturesque padi fields backed by verdant hills, its elegant mosque with four minarets come into view. Swaying coconut trees add a distinct charm to this place of worship. Balik Pulau is famous for belacan! The village of Gertak Sanggul, where visitor can see how the products is made.
First, shrims are drained of water, rubbed with salt and allowed to dry in the sun. The fermented shrimps are compacted and passed through a grinder. The resulting paste is then compacted again, packed in bags and allowed to ferment further. Then the semi-hard pieces are cut into blocks and packed.

What to Eat
Excellent Malay food is served at dataran Tuah, opposite the Komplek Balik Pulau which houses a bank and a few other offices. The Balik Pulau Market on Jalan Besar offers delicious chee cheong fun, lam mee and loh bak. There is also a popular laksa stall outside the market. However, the more exciting makan places are located in the nearby villages.
In the evening, the focal point in Teluk Kumbar is Medan selera Kg nelayan. Here, sea-facing stalls do a roaring business serving tomyam seafood, ikan bakar and other Malay delicacies. IN Gertak Sanggul, Chinese fare is served at jumbo Seafood Village. At the lookout point on a cliff just five kilometres from Balik Pulau town, there are also two stalls and a restaurant located on a hillock.
With 2000 hectares of durian orchands, Balik Pulau is a durian connoisseur's paradise. Along the way from Bayan Lepas, a popular stopover is the Durian Chap Kaki, where customers can sit on chairs at tables to tuck into the 'King of fruits'. Taps are available for washing their hands. Wei, the co-owner of the sttall and plantation, says there are several duria varieties available - those with a heady fragrance, a bitter-sweet taste, sweet and gooey flesh, and another variety with little fibre. The spaces have unique names like Hor Loh, Lipan, green Skin, D2, D15, D95 and Kun Poh. Penangites and those from other places are known to throng Balik Pulau for the perfect durian.

What to Buy
The Malay women of Balik Pulau are very enterprising. They operate flourishing cottage industries.
Kuih Bahulu, Jeruk Buah-Buahan and etc.

Best of HULU PERAK

Hulu Perak is the northen part of Perak, flanked by Kedah and Kelantan. However, the state government has started refering to Hulu Perak as The Lake Districk. Its not just and advertising or promotional gimmick as the area really has a massive network of lakes - both man-made an natural. There are four main lakes - Tasik Temenggor, Chenderong, Kenering and Bersia.

Tasik Temenggor, a vast man-made lake created after the Temenggor Dam was built in 1978, found itself on the country's tourism map when the Royal Belum Forest opened to visitors.

Besides its reputation as one of the most untouched forest in the peninsula, it is also famous as home for endangered and rare animals as well as the giant rafflesia.

Another crowd puller here is Tasik Raban, the first lake to greet motorists coming from Kuala Kangsar along the Kuala Kangsar-Grik road which cuts through the vast lake.

It is actually Tasik Chenderoh, formed when Sungai Raban was flooded after the construction of Chenderoh Dam. But locals convenienty call it Tasik Raban after the small village of Raban.

There are waterfalls and caves for nature lovers and the adventures. Along the main road, look out of signages leading to Lata Kekakbu, Lata Air Ibol, Lata Papan, Lata Pusing and lata Bahagi.

For those into caving, the caves to explore are Dayak, Harimau, Ngaum, Batu Tukang, Kajang Singa, Teluk Kelawar and Gunung Runtuh, some of which are historically significant.

Gua Gunung Runtuh is where the remains of Perak Man (a stone age man aged 10,000 to 11,000 years old) was found. The discovery of what was believed to be the most complete human skelton ever found in Southeast Asia attracted worlwide attention.

Getting There:-

The nearest town to Lenggong is Kuala Kangsar, 46km or 40minute drive away. From the toll plaza on the north-south expressway,take the road to the Grik. Lenggong is between the royal town Kuala kangsar and Grik,another 40-minute drive from Lenggong.Both towns are connected to Kota Baru by the East-West Highway.From Baling,Kedah,Lenggong is accessible via Pengkalan Hulu.There is limited express bus service from major cities like Ipoh and Kota Baru but there are regular bus and taxy services.

Lenggong offers comportable lodgings in the from of rest-house and Chalets.Located in the heart of town is Lenggong rest House(05-7678702) while at tasik Raban,there are small resorts with basic Chalets,bungalows and camp sites. In Grik, the choice is slightly better with several budget hotels and a Government rest-house. At the Royal Belum Forest, a number of nature resort are located around Tasik Temenggor.

Where To Eat:-

With so many lakes, naturally there is an abundance of fish. Indeed, ikan bakar and ikan pekasam (fermeted fresh - water fresh) are to the Lake District ad durian is to Changkat Jering and pamelo to Tambun. Ikan bakar restaurant line the Kuala Kangsar-Grik road and there are many in the town itself.

However the best seafood is to be had at Tasik Raban Tourism Complex. Its plus point is its strategic location by the lakeside and the main road, and its commanding view of the lake. There's ample parking space, toilet facilities, a surau and shops selling Lenggong's specilities like ikan pekasam, ethic craft and traditional cookies.

Picnic

There was a time when one of the essential ingredients for a successful picnic was home-cooked chicken curry, eaten with lots of bread .

You can still keep this tradition alive when you pack a picnic enjoy with family and friends at anywhere - beach, waterfall, lake. Its so blissful to relax under shady trees or sheltered gazebos and feel balmy breezes sweep your face.
