Lubok Antu trip and my Rh. Melayu Ili longhouse at Betong

The trip was on 30-31 October 2010. We started our journey from home at 3.30 am. It took 3 hours from Bintulu to Sibu, and another to 2 hours 30 mins to reach our long house at Rh. Melayu Ili in Betong. From Betong, left another 40 mins to reach Lubok Antu. Enough time to enjoy the beautiful scenery too.

Ngagai pegung using boat. Yeay!!!

Fresh talapia fish for sale. Can get it as low as RM 10/kg. Kalau kat market can reach RM 15/kg wai...

Maia ba pegung, at the dam itself. Sempat bergambar. Hehe.. 

Lepaking sambil nganti ikan di pansai ba pegung

This picture was taken at the Lubok Antu market/town, morning.. For me LA is a very beautiful and classy town, also a bit like cowboy town. Got varieties of  'lauk menua' here, and food lover like me, sure love this place. 

What we have here? Petai, sayur midin, belimbing panjai/masam. Phew!! All are the appetizers.. 

Iban called these as buah kepayang (in the plate) and daun sabung (the leaves).

Up & down: Salai lajung or lais & salai talapia. And also kasam ikan jelawat. All sedap2.. (delicious).

What we can see below is my long house at Betong. Its my mum's side long house. 

One day I'll show you my dad's long house lah ok. 

This what we call tanju. Nama glamour- varandah. Haha!

I can smell MONEY!! Getah/rubber now at least RM 8/kg. 1 slice can up to 5kg.

How much we have here? 9 slices x  5kg x  RM 8 = RM 360, on the tanju!! TI bagas, one month can up to RM 3000 ++....

and NO INCOME TAX!! Yeah!!
