Half Day Sunset Kampung Ride with Hawker Food
Experience first-hand how the local people live by visiting a traditional Malay kampong. This is traditionally a small community, under the leadership of a penghulu (village chief), who has the power to hear civil matters in his village. A kampong usually contains a masjid (mosque) or surau, paddy fields or orchards and traditional Malay houses on stilts.
The villagers practice the culture of helping one another as a community, which is better known as the ‘joint bearing of burdens.’ They are family-oriented, especially the concept of respecting one’s family, particularly the parents and elders. While in the community, we will meet playful children after school, watch the younger people play sepak takraw and take in other village scenes. We then take a sampan ride back to the other side of the river and absorb the great sunset view of the Astana, the Dun Building and the mosque. Back on land, get ready for a classic hawker street dinner, including favourites such as Nasi Lemak, served on the waterfront.
