Rivers that flow out to the South China Sea
Kampong Fikri
And then, there's Terrapuri.
If there is one reason I want to return
to Trengganu, this is it.
Alex has, with foresight, collected old houses from different locations and kampongs, and put them together, a living museum of sorts, preserving them for posterity. They are beautifully and neatly aligned, and little touches like dragon pots and water pots, bamboos and reeds, and frangipanis make a home.
A craftsman weaving baskets from coconut fronds.
I bought half a dozen of these.
The kampong lunch laid out for guests.
Authentic Trengganu menu, served in
antique bronze containers.
Lots of fresh Ulam and kerabu
OoooOOoo ... delicious!
the dining area
tastes like masak lodes
my plate
mata kucing in rose syrup.
How to peel a mangosteen.
make a depression at the bottom
Leave the top
Squeeze the sides until it comes apart.
Proceed to break up into quarters
now you can hold it from the top
and drop the juicey fruit into your mouth!
cute mini bananas
sour salad
pastel rice pellets swimming in a bowl
of coconut milk, fragranced by pandanus
I spy a lagoon
lotus behind a wall
with a lagoon beyond the wall
A view of the dining house
Intricate carved panels cools the air
as they come through
Age old implements
Relaxing under the house,
by a reflection pool. Cool.
On the way out to town,
a stranded boat
