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 :)

Magic Herbs & Plants in the Herb Garden

A session with the "Herb Doctor" would open your eyes to the various types of trees, flowers and plants used in every day life - before the emergence of medical practitioners. Well, some are still being used until now.

The "Herb Doctor" will fascinate you with his quirky experiments of smell, taste and touch. A session that you will remember most of all.

What is Tengkolok or Tanjak?

How cute are these adorable Japanese couple?

What the Japanese man is wearing is called a tengkolok or tanjak. The tanjak or tengkolok, are popularly accepted as the traditional Malay headwears for men in Malaysia, although the Malays traditionally wear headwears and head-gears in various forms. Just as hats, berets, caps, and others are suited to their particular dressings in the western world, the Malay tanjak or tengkolok is worn and complements exquisitely the traditional full Malay costume of Baju Melayu.

 Besides worn during traditional Malay weddings by the groom during the bersanding ceremony, the tanjak or tengkolok are put on during formal and public ceremonies where royalties grace the occasion.

Fresh air of Kampung...

RECREATION WITH FAMILY

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!
