Al-Hidayah Old Mosque ๐Ÿ•Œ , Ampang Pecah

1๏ธโƒฃ of the oldest mosque ๐Ÿ•Œ in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ

During this village visit, she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has a privilege to taste some of the traditional ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Javanese foods & delicacies, read more via ๐ŸŒ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javanese_cuisine

Selangor state of Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ is with lots of Javenese migrants ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ since early 1900s, hence lots of Javanese cultures are being influenced to the local Malaysians ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ

This sambal is originated asย ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Javanese’s spicy ๐Ÿฅต๐ŸŒถ sauce with the amount of chillies ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ used & generally cooked with anchovies, clams, cow skin or cow inner parts etc.

It aims to keep for consumption of almost a year (ie. Tahun means year in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ‘s national language)

Keep in cooking wok & heat up daily for consumption as chilies ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ are natural food perservative. Not to mix with coconut milk when 1st cooking it for keep purposes

She has enjoyed this dish with cow skin (Its texture like a jelly), a delicious tasty ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜‹dinner ๐Ÿฝ she had

What's your definition of a "kampung"? Should Kampung become part of a tourism industry or it is just the feeling of belongness that is hatched deep inside of us since we were born and grew up on this land? Or is it because Kampung is engraved in our heart with nostalgic feelings and familiarity of calmness, peaceful and quiet. Or is it always the tranquility and peace of mind that we longed for? In Selangor, not far from the massive modernity and engineered development of Klang Valley, apparently there are a lot of options for the exhausted people of the city to run away to for a day of two. Banghuris Homestay, a community centric destination, a result of the efforts by the three villages of Kampung Chuchoh Hulu, Kampung Hulu Teris and Kampung Bukit Bangkong is one of the closest yet the best option for the city people to get themselves lost in the quietness and easeness of life. ___ #KitaKeKampung #KitaKanSekampung #PusingSelangorDulu #BudayaSelangor #travellocal #travelsafe #GayaTravel ๐Ÿค #HuaweiMate20Pro #Huawei #seetheworld #huaweiphotography #travel #cuticutimalaysia #traveltheworld #village #TravelTomorrow

During her recent glamping ๐Ÿ• stay @ Dusun Bonda, Batang Kali of Selangor state, West Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ , she ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has a chance to learn more details about the Malay traditional music & beats as below,

Keroncong band performance

It’s actually the name of aย ukulele-like instrument & anย Indonesianย musical style which typically makes use of the keroncong (i.e. The soundย chrong-chrong-chrongย comes from this instrument). So, the bandย consists of aย flute, a violin ๐ŸŽป , a melody guitar ๐ŸŽธ , a cello, string bass in pizzicato style & with either a female / a male singer ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐ŸŽค

 

She ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป has learnt that 1๏ธโƒฃ ukulele named “cak”, a steel-stringed. The instrumentalist strums chords with up to 8๏ธโƒฃ strums per beat in 4/4 rhythm. The off-beat strums are often accentuated. The other ukulele named “cuk” is slightly larger & has nylon strings. As a set, both the “cak” & “cuk” form an interlocking pair that mostly gives Kroncong its characteristic kron & chong ๐Ÿ˜Š

Tor Tor Dance & Gordang Sembilan

Tor Tor dance & 9๏ธโƒฃ great drumbeats/ percussion (Gordang Sembilan in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s national language)ย are theย cultural heritage of Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ‘s Mandailing community, which originally came from Mandailing, North Sumatera of Indonesia ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ

 

It’s a slow motion dance with the movement of the feet / toe to toe ๐Ÿ‘ฃ & hand ๐Ÿคš๐Ÿป movements with a music ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ rhythm played with the traditional music instruments e.g. Gondang, Flute, Trumpet ๐ŸŽบ etc. At present, Tor tor dance is to celebrating harvesting, welcoming guests, wedding ๐Ÿคต๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿฝ ceremonies. No โŒ longer associated with the religious / mystical ceremonies in the past years

Kuda Kepang

It was 1๏ธโƒฃst introduced in the early 20th century when Javanese immigrants ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ, who brought this unique dance & 1๏ธโƒฃst arrived in the southern tip ofย  West Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ It’s usually performed by 9 to 15 pax, usually all men dancers traditional Javanese clothes

In the past years, Kuda Kepang is believed to have a strong linkage to the spirit world, however at present it becomes a regular dance performance for the birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ of the Sultan of Johor, state government celebrations & cultural shows in Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ

It’s a traditional Javanese braided hobbyhorse dance & in the dance performance, all the dancers will ride the 2๏ธโƒฃD mock horse which is traditionally made of bamboo ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‹, then painted & decorated with colorful paints and cloth to resemble a horse ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿด Some of the dance movements in the Kuda Kepang rituals are based on traditional Malay silat
