| Any Pewter Shop: Buying Malaysian Pewter | | |
| | ||
 |  on January 8, 2007 |
Would like to suggest buying Malaysian pewter if you are considering getting a special souvenir for yourself or as a gift to someone else. Malaysia was once the world largest producer of tin. Pewter companies like Royal Selangor is world famous. There are alsoother smaller companies with more competitive prices like Penang Pewter, etc. I have bought pewter items like tourist scenes, picture frames, beer mugs, vases and often appreciated because they are unique. |

| Wau ....the Malaysian version of cool kite ... | | |
| | ||
 |  on May 15, 2004 |
This is truly a Malaysian handicraft and favourite past time as well esp. in rural areas. Unlike normal kite, the Wau can be as big as 2.5 metres for wing span and height measuring up to 3.5 metres. Now thats giant kite ! But dont worries you can buy miniature ones as souveniers. Why its called Wau ? It is called 'Wau' because the shape of its wing is similar to an Arabic letter (pronounced "wow"). The making of Wau similar In making a wau, bamboo is used for the frame. The bamboo is split and soaked in mud for two weeks. This prevents the bamboo from being attacked by weevils as well as makes it more flexible. The bamboo splits are used to produce a complex but lightweight frame, tested with one layer of paper and making alterations accordingly to make sure the kite is structurally sound. The patterns are then meticulously cut from rice-paper and glued on piece by piece to form intricate motif Types of Wau There are various types of wau such as wau kuching (cat kite), wau merak (peacock kite), and wau bulan (moon kite). Each wau also comes with a different design and size |

| | ||
| on May 15, 2004 |
The company was founded in 1985 and has a workforce of more than 600 skilled craftsmen. The Royal Selangor factory is reputed to be one of the world's largest. What 's PEWTER ?? Pewter is composed of tin, with a small proportion of copper and antimony added to strengthen it. Unlike pewter in the olden days, pewter produced by Royal Selangor does not contain lead, and adheres to international standards What can you make from PEWTER Almost anything you name it , kitchen ware,drinkware stationeries holder,photo frames, chess sets , statues, lighters,ornamental stuff and the coolest thing is that the company's products is following the market trend or craze..look at these Goblets of Characters from Lord of The Rings ....so what do you think ? kitchenware,children's gift , |

| Bubu converted as decorative lamp | | |
| | ||
 |  on April 6, 2004 |
I had converted this decorative bubu into a lamp which can be easily place on any tabletop or any corner of the room. I stumbled over this miniature bubu (fish trap) on my last trip to Kuching (hope to feature Kuching page in near future). It?s certainly a great buy & perfectly satisfies after the conversion. Bubu=RM18 Lamp with 3-pin Plug=recycled Ikea lamp holder Switch=donated by a friend |

| Central Market: Buying local art and craft | | |
| | ||
| on October 24, 2006 |
This is an old wet market for fresh meat and vegetables that is converted into modern two storey shopping gallery for Malaysian handi craft. You can see also local artists at work selling their paintings and wares and occasional cultural performances. So great place to shop for T-shirts, batik cloth, wayang kulit (traditional shadow-play) masks, "antiques", Hindu and Chinese deities statutes, Orang Asli carvings and Nonya designs. There are also a variety of eating places. It is next to the river bank of Klang river and a stone's throw to Chinatown Petaling Street. |
