Visiting Tutong Home Garden

Sorry for the lack of updates.. I'm a bit swamped with uni-life here :(

Netherless!!! we went for a field trip to Tutong last saturday morning with the whole Tropical ecology class. Wuhhooo!! It was surprisingly fun, i had a good time interacting & mingling with the locals who own the kebun there, They were all very bubbly :D

So we visited the home garden in Kg. Kiudang which was roughly around 70 hectares. But of cos lah~ we didnt exactly walked through the entire area.... it's freaking huge like what? This so called kebun is own & maintain mainly by the Dusun people who live near there.

They grow a lot of local fruits! Naming few of them: durian puluh i.e. kuning (I super love durian!!!), petai, kembayau (Canarium odontophyllum), bilimbi i.e. starfruit, mata kucing (Dimorcarpus longan) & many more!!

Most of the fruits that you find in pasar, tamu or supermarkets are mainly bought from this home garden. They sell really, really, really cheap one!!! For instance, you can buy 3 biji buah tarap for only BND 2!!!! so murah right??

But unfortunately, we werent able to take any of the local fruits back home, becos its not musim buah yet :(

Anyhoos, here's are the pics to share with everyone!

A huge tortoise shell hang in the ceiling is used for emergency call by hitting it using a hard wooden stick just in case if something happen to their kebun.. There's no phone signal bah~
