Snapshots of OH! My Kampung Experience Tour

Keeping our Kampung experience REAL

Keeping our experiences REAL (Recreational, Educational, Adventurous, & just LOADS of fun), these two siblings from Egypt cannot be happier to be able to spend their time in the kampung.

Not only the learn how to fish and get to know its name, they are adventurous enough to cycle around the kampung too! These kids are so adorable and playful. Hagar (the girl), spent the day learning how to play congkak, a traditional Malay game as well. By end of the tour, she was already an expert!

Tour the Traditional Malay Wooden House

Rumah Melayu (Malay House), are traditional dwellings, originating before the arrival of foreign or modern influences, and constructed by the indigenous ethnic Malay of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, made of timber and wood.

There are not many around anymore, as Malaysia is heading towards becoming a modern society. Most of the Malay Wooden House are only in the deep rural areas. We are lucky that 35 km away from the big city of Kuala Lumpur, these Malay wooden houses still exist, so tourists are welcomed to come in and see how the local kampung people live :)

Taste & Try Out...

When you are in a kampung, forget about formalities. Taste all the new food and fruits. Relax yourself amongst the green trees, chirping birds, and the calm sounds coming from the nearby river.

Try out traditional clothes - pretend that you are about to marry a Malay woman ;-)

Be adventurous and just have loads of fun!

Rubber tapping

If this is your first time seeing one, grab the opportunity to test your strength and skill to tap rubber out these trees. It may not be as easy as it seems.

Fresh air of Kampung...


RECREATION WITH FAMILY

OH My Kampung Tour is the perfect tour for the entire family. Not only that it is a relaxing recreational tour that would not require you to walk too much, you would also be able to witness the natural beauty of Malaysia, far from the big blocks and skyscrapers of the city.



FLORA & FAUNA

During the tour, you would be able to learn as much as possible about flowers, spices, vegetables and other plants which have been very useful to the kampung folks, way before technology was introduced!




FISHING

Fishing is optional - especially for those keen to overnight. You would see a large pond of fish when you come and visit :)





LOCAL DELICACIES

"Kuih Bahulu, [is] a traditional Malaysian kuih (or cake).
A favorite among many Malaysians of all races and ages, kuih bahulu is usually baked during the festive seasons such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. These sweet and eggy kuih go very well with coffee, and are always a crowd-pleaser during the festive seasons. A few kuih bahulu and a cup of coffee is a surefire way to greet your guests…
Kuih bahulu comes in different shapes, but the popular ones are the button and goldfish (pictured below). Thekuih bahulu mold also come in different sizes–big and small. I used the small button and gold fish molds for my kuih bahulu because I simply adore cutesy size."

The kampung has its own local factory which produces kuih bahulu and other local delicacies too!





TRADITIONAL MALAY ACTIVITIES
1. Berbekam
2. Malay Wedding
3. Malay Kenduri with Nasi Ambeng

Kampung Plants & Wildlife

Recreational and educational, this is what the tour is all about. We not only want you to have the time of your life, we also encourage you to learn as much as possible from the nature.

These African boys sure had a lot to learn from their visit to the kampung.

Tapping Rubber Tree

Learning about the plants and its usage in medicine or daily life

Guess what tree this is? It's Papaya Tree!

What do you think is that long vegetable? You've come to know! ;)
