Burung Timang, a Trengganu folk dance.
Oh wow! I never expect this treat!

The host also prepared a feast for us,
as usual, the best of Trengganu delicacies
Serunding and pulut
This is my favourite!
Assam guppal berinti.
The flavours and ingredients are steamed sago, filled with mung bean paste, rolled into
balls and served in a santan soup spiced with ginger, shallots
and halba. The sago is chewy, the mung beans are slightly
saltish, in creamy and savoury santan base.
This serambi is so cosy, with the polished
and carved wood giving a homey feeling
How nice to sit out here on a hot afternoon
and watch the neighbours, children playing
or just a spot of needlecraft.

traditional Burung Timang dance.
After we had our fill of culture and food,
we headed off to Kampong Pasang, to visit
the home of a Peranakan lady
Homes from our childhood, hardly seen today
yes, mosquito net/tent to keep out mossies
in the kampong
An indoor well
A woodshed to store firewood for cooking
This hammock should be of good use
on hot afternoons.
And then we were moved to another location
have to hike up for our lunch
These are our chefs
Laksam
sweet desserts
And then we were moving out to Sam Po Tong
We walked through a Malay kampong to
to get to Sam po tong
She of the gardens are pretty.
This is the temple for Sam Po Tong,
or Admiral Zheng He of the Ming Court
who apparently arrived in Trengganu before
he sailedto Malacca
