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.
过了不久,液体结晶。他们就把它集合起来。
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。
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。
Frying in progress

The owner for the business.

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 |
我们的下一站是Pasar Aneka Taman Selat Butterworth。这里也被叫做'Rope Walk'。这里共有230个摊位,其中马来人占了89%。
We took a stroll visiting the stalls.
我们就每一个档口跑去参观。

Restaurant Pan Mutiara Butterworth
It was afternoon already when we visited the market. We were then being invited to Restaurant Pan Mutiara Butterworth for lunch.
当我们参观完市场后已经是中午时分。过后我们就被邀请去 Restaurant Pan Mutiara Butterworth 吃午餐。

当局以简单的言词来欢迎我们。接下来每一个人就被安排到各自的干父母家。

沼泽地方的一些树在市场拥有很高的价值。他们都有不一样的用途,例如这个可以拿来打桩。
For those who stay in a city like me, it is always interesting to see something not always seen. This turkey is so cute, it imitates my friend's voice calling. When my friend shouted:" grroooouuuuu.....groooouuu......it answered by the same voice! hahaha
住在城市的人好像我那样,看到那些没有看过的事物都是很有趣的。这火鸡很可爱,它去模仿我朋友的叫声。当我的朋友喊:"grroooouuuuu.....groooouuu......它也一样的声音回应!
Fishing boat @ Koperasi Homestay Sungai Chenaam Nibong Tebal Berhad |
这里给我感觉很悠闲,我真的好想在这里静静坐在岸边待着。
The life here is leisure, it just makes me wanna sit there quietly to enjoy the moment.
At night, the Executive Chairman of Malaysia Cooperative Commission launched the program 'Jom Jelajah Koperasi'.
晚上,马来西亚合作社工会的执行主席正式推介'Jom Jelajah Koperasi'的项目。
Dancing @ Koperasi Homestay Sungai Chenaam Nibong Tebal Berhad |
One of the highlight for that night was that the international guests were being invited to the stage to dance together with the Malay dancers. It was very funny to see their move. LOL
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
Macho Cho from Korea was being interviewed about his stay experience. But somehow he was quite smart to sneak away without being noticed when others dancing on the stage.
来自韩国的Macho Cho 当天接受司仪访问他个人对这次旅游的心得。不过他也真的很厉害,在无人察觉之下,竟然可以逃过所有耳目,不用上台表演。
当天的晚餐是烧烤海鲜。这是我朋友拿的分量。他是个男的。过了15分钟,我再看回他的盘,满是贝壳..哈哈哈
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。
