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.

First and foremost, the leaf needs to be flamed first to make the folding and wrapping easier |
