Sepang Corner Healthy Fruit & Florist

Yeahโ€ผ๏ธ Sepang is well known for its dragon fruits plantations, in fact the biggest dragon fruits plantations in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ , you can easily spot the cactus alike dragon fruits plants almost everywhere here ๐Ÿคฉ

This education trip has involved its participants to learn & DIY own bottle of Pitaya Enzyme here, precious learning time gained & at the same time to instill healthy living tips, bravo ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Hmm…Before joining, SiennyLovesDrawing was curious ๐Ÿค”โ“โ‰๏ธ

  • What’s the ratio/ portionโ“
  • Fermentation in room temperatureโ“
  • Need to stir it? If yes, for how many daysโ“
  • What’s the nutrition of Pitaya enzymeโ“
  • How to keep the Pitaya enzymeโ“

Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ

The secret ingredients & tools are simple, just the dragon fruits, lemon & brown sugar, knife ๐Ÿ”ช & glass bottle. The instructor has shared that must use glass bottle for Pitaya Enzyme DIY making, else it will fail…So, do remember ya

The DIY pitaya enzyme steps also easy to follow from the instructor’s guidance,

  1. Wash hand & fruits, then clean & slice the fruits with knife ๐Ÿ”ช
  2. Put in all the ingredients layer by layer in the glass bottle
  3. Once full, close the lid & store the glass bottle in a cool & dry place. No need to place in fridge yet
  4. Do shake the bottle gently everyday to get the brown sugar to coat the fruits nicely
  5. The pitaya enzyme should be ready in approximately 3๏ธโƒฃ weeks
  6. However, once opening the lid for consumption, do place the enzyme in fridge. The ๐Ÿ†’ temperature will slow down the fermentation process & delay the enzyme from turning into vinegar

  • Helping on weight loss
  • Lowering blood sugar

This is a jungle railway ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒณ not to be missed which runs from the junction at Gemas northwards to Kota Bharu & Tumpat.

Dear Sabah Tourism,

Yes, Sienny Yong aka SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป would like to explore more about Sabah & Sarawak in the future which both made Malaysia owns the 25% of Borneo’s land. Borneo, the 3๏ธโƒฃrd largest island ๐Ÿ๏ธ in the world ๐ŸŒŽ & divided between 3 countries ie. Indonesia ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ , Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ & Brunei ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ณ

Once upon a time…

Still recalled her 1๏ธโƒฃst fly to Sabah was right after her university graduation ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽ“๐ŸŽ“ & as a graduation celebration ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ trip to reward herself by opting for a hike to Mt Kinabalu (Mt KK) โ›ฐ๏ธ (aka Akinabalu by the local Sabahan people), it’s her 1๏ธโƒฃst hiking ๐Ÿฅพ trip, also to explore Malaysia’s 1๏ธโƒฃst heritage site, Kinabalu Park. Hmm…It was really long long ago & at that time she has got no social media platforms to show off her summit photo with her full colour certificate at that time ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ She was hike up with Mesilau route, it’s with beautiful scenery, though slightly longer journey as compared to the route she opted to go down, Timpohon route, a stairs alike route & not comfortable for her tiring legs back then. Guess whatโ“โ‰๏ธ Her beautiful colour certificate is nicely kept in the safety deposit box with a local bank ๐Ÿฆ now, 1๏ธโƒฃ of her precious achievements in life โœจ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Then, her 2๏ธโƒฃnd fly to Sabah was as a volunteer to collect & supply stationeries & teaching to some Bajau Laut kids at the rural sea nomad villages of Semporna Island ๐Ÿ๏ธ Still recalled the chalet hotel that she stayed was being flooded due to a heavy rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ storm & the rising level of sea ๐ŸŒŠ water at that time. She joined her other volunteers together with the chalet staffs to clean up the chalets surrounding. The pure hearts & smiles of the rural kids still warm kept in her heart โค๏ธ It was a memorable weeks spent with the local Sabahan kids & people, sure the kids have all grown up healthily now. Interactions with local people is what SiennyLovesDrawing enjoys & treasures the most, valuable juicy life stories, learning more about local living, cultures etc. Absolutely precious ๐Ÿ’•

.

These 2๏ธโƒฃ travels to Sabah shared above were happened when she has yet to start her lifestyle blogging here at that time, also she wasn’t active in social media postings too

Then her blogging passion here โœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป got noticed & received honourable media invitation ๐Ÿ“ง to join the Malaysia Inbound Tourism Association (MITA) business networking 3๏ธโƒฃD2๏ธโƒฃN trip in 2018. 3๏ธโƒฃrd fly to Sabah to explore & then shared her travel stories about the eco tourism at Sabah, read more via ๐ŸŒ https://siennylovesdrawing.wordpress.com/2018/12/17/6-eco-tourism-must-see-in-sabah-malaysian-borneo/ & ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŒ https://twitter.com/SiennyLovesDraw/status/1070869540232286208

She was truly amazed & proud as Malaysian because Dairy Farm ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฎ in Kundasang, Sabah making her really like being at a farm in New Zealand ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

Do you know KKB with its nickname as “Kiri Kanan Bukit” (also KKB) in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ’s national language which means “Left Right Hill โ›ฐ” ~ In a way, a sleepy town surrounding with hills โ›ฐโ›ฐ

KKB was designed by Malayaโ€™s 1๏ธโƒฃst town planner Charles Reade based on the influential โ€˜garden city movementโ€™ of urban planning which 1๏ธโƒฃst initiated by Sir Ebenezer Howard back in 1898
