    Preparing of Sawdust

    A simple component called the sawdust. This technology, called "bioconverting technology" helps farmers to fight starvation and poverty in times of need. The steps of growing mushrooms is one that needs the farmer to follow certain strict but proven procedures.

    First, the subtrate comprising of sawdust, wheat bran and other materials are placed in plastic bags. They will then go through a steaming process to sterilise the subtrate. Once it is done, the bags are then left to cool. Spores will then be placed into the bags and they will then be left to grow.

    Check Out the kuih ketayap

    Food is central to Asians. Talk about food and you can get a conversation going for a long time. Part of the food selection are the many pastries on offer. My group had the opportunity to try something called kuih (read as Kuay) ketayap.

    The green skin of the kuih ketayap wraps around the coconut gratings that has been sweetened with palm sugar. Tasted really great.

    Nasi Lemak is a rice dish that is commonly found in both Malaysia and Singapore. The rice is mixed with coconut cream and then steamed. It will then be complemented with ikan bilis (Anchovies) with peanuts, chilli and cucumber.

    As for the kampong set that we had, there were a few other addition such as a few pieces of kampong chicken chucks (There's truly very little fat in the meat), fried mushrooms, quail eggs in sambal, curry puff and the green-coloured kuih ketayap.

    One of our very first stops was to a home of a villager who not only prepared a scrumptous kampung breakfast for us, but also showed us how they sustain a living by growing mushrooms.

    Though a small cottage industry, the set-up was by no means scrumpy. The location of their buildings have been well thought out, and they even have a pretty big shed to provide shelter to these growing mushrooms.

    At the kampong in Kempas, we were greeted with a sweet smell of food simmering in oil. My group knew that the kampong dwellers were preparing something for us. Maybe it's pisang goreng (Fried banana fritters), or ayam goreng (Fried chicken).

    As we walked towards the hot wok, a makcik (A term of endearment when addressing a mid age malay lady) waved us closer to try out what she'd prepared. It was actually mushroom fried in batter and boy was it nice! This batter is home-made and has been nicely packed for sale at RM2.
