'Jom Jelajah Koperasi' Day 2 @ Penang

Schedule of the Day 2（第二天路程）: Koperasi GDW Mengkuang Pulau Pinang Berhad > Koperasi Pasar Aneka Taman Selat Butterworth Berhad > Koperasi Homestay Sungai Chenaam Nibong Tebal Berhad

The next morning, we headed to the assembly point to gather after taking breakfast at our own foster parent's home.

隔天，在各自的干父母家吃完早餐后，我们便到回集合点去集合。

After that, we paid a visit to a bee farm at Kampung Mengkuang Titi.

过后我们便到Kampung Mengkuang Titi 的蜜蜂园参观。

Bee stings...that's what in my mind when I was there but then this seems to be wrong sometimes

蜜蜂会哲人...这就是当时的我的想法不过这观念有时候是错误的

The crew opened the plastic cover and we saw the tiny bees nestling in the honeycomb.

工作人员打开上面的塑胶袋，然后我们就看到很多小小的密封在蜂房内歇着。

Take a close look, there are juicy brownish stuff and that is honey

靠近点看，这里有巧克力汁的物体，那就是蜜糖啦

That's the entrance and exit point for the bees

这是蜜蜂的进出口

I was asked to try out the honey directly from the beehive. I hesitated to do it at first as I was quite worried if the bees would sting at me. Until I saw an Instagram video of my friend who did it previously, my fear was lessened, and I decided to give it a try.

有人叫我直接从蜂房内吸那蜜糖。初始我还很犹豫因为我很怕密封蜇我。直到我看见我朋友拍下他从蜂房吸取蜜糖的短片，我才没那么害怕，决定试一试。

Look at the bee at my hand...but it did not sting me ^^ It just give me a kiss xo

看到我手上的蜜蜂...他没有蜇我 ^^ 它只是亲吻我而已 xo

wow yummy...I sucked twice! This is the most natural honey I ever tasted directly from beehive ^^

哇好美味..我吸了2次！这是我尝过最天然的蜜糖了因直接从蜂房吸取 ^^

I still want...can take home? LOL

我还想要...可以带回家吗？哈哈

Next, we went to the opposite side to visit the cottage industry.

接着下来，我们到对面去参观家庭工业。

Cottage Industry @ Koperasi GDW Mengkuang Pulau Pinang Berhad

By the time we arrive, they were making 'cold powder'. This was my first time knowing such kind of thing even though I stayed here for over 20 years. The white liquid is rice that soaked in water for a month, the water changed in between every 3 days.

在我们抵达的当儿，他们正在做‘冷粉’。这是我第一次听说这东西虽然我已经待在这里超过20年。那白色的酱汁是浸在水中一个月后的米，3天换水一次。

 

By folding the leaf with small hole at the tip, the lady let the liquid came out drop by drop at the red cloth.

把叶子折成顶端有个洞口，那女的就让液体一滴滴的滴在红布上。

After a while, the liquid is crystallized. They collected it.

过了不久，液体结晶。他们就把它集合起来。

And the villager sells it. It is RM2 per container. I asked what is the usage of that. One of my Malay friends told me that is applying on face for cooling purpose. Such nature and traditional way!

过后村民就拿去卖。一盒是RM2。我问这东西的用途。一位马来朋友对我说它是拿来搽在脸上让脸感觉冰凉的。一个很天然又传统的方法！

Here they have Dodol (sweet toffee-like confection made with coconut milk, jaggery, and rice flour) , all are home made. They are selling in packs.

这里他们也有Dodol (以椰浆，粗糖和米粉做的奶糖样的甜食)，全部都是手工做的。他们以包装出售。

Before we left, we got a chance to see the Muruku (savory crunchy traditional snack made with flour, dried chilli, shrimp, onion, eggs and salt) making.

在我们临走前，我们还有机会看Muruku (以面粉，干辣椒，小虾，洋葱，鸡蛋和盐做的咸咸脆脆的传统零食)的制作。

Congkak @ Koperasi GDW Mengkuang Pulau Pinang Berhad

Those who interested can have fun with playing Congkak - (mancala game of Malay origin). Only 2 players allowed for this game. It needs mental calculation to win. Since we short of time that day, thus we had to skip this. It has been many years I did not play. LOL

谁有兴趣的还可以来这儿玩Congkak - (马来人的游戏)。只有2个人玩。这需要些心算才能赢。因为当天没什么时间，所以我们必须跃过这环节。我好多好多年都没玩过了。哈哈

Koperasi Pasar Aneka Taman Selat Butterworth Berhad

Our next stop is Pasar Aneka Taman Selat Butterworth. It is being called 'Rope Walk' as well. There are 230 stalls at the site with Malay comprising 89% of the total.

当晚的其中一个焦点是国际的客人被邀请上台与马来舞蹈者共舞。当看到他们蠕动身体的那时候，真的蛮搞笑的。哈哈

Siput Unam...是我从来没有尝试过的味道。这很特别因为我们必须使用木支把它的肉从壳内拉出来。它很像海水那么咸。哈哈可能我不适应那味道。
