Homestay at Kampung Serasot

Started my early morning journey to
Kampung Serasot, which is one of the many bidayuh villages in
Bau District.  Herlina and I drove for almost an hour to reach our destination with heavy mists
along the 44km road from home.
It was indeed a pleasant arrival with such warm welcome that led me to some
bidayuh experiences and cultures.


Upon arrival to the kampung

One of the local tourist attractions along the way

the big hall


A time to recall the relatives and friends


Having serious discussion I see


A RM5 car-wash....anyone??

So how to make tupik bandung......with tapioca?

...need to grate first the tapioca....

.......then grated tapioca is to be mixed with either a little salt or chilli or sugar

huge looking crowd :)

Yum-yum gulug-gulug
punch! ouch! pound!

kuali-frying the tapioca leaves with lemon-grass.............my favourite dish :)

So let this aunty teach you how to wrap the rice into the leaf
....looks nice and neat..

First and foremost, the leaf needs to be flamed first to make the folding and wrapping easier
 
this boy sure enjoyed the food ^^

This makcik was demonstrating on how to make a roof
