the House I grew up in, in Kampong Melayu Asli

My dad & step-mom run this gerai, selling Nasi Katok, Roti John, Teh Tarik & Juices. Oh... & ABC.

floating 'apong'...
Muhammad wanted his photo taken with the 'apong'
A barge being towed out to the sea... heard its heading to Kuching to get rocks??
The Kampong was recently facelifted - prior to that the landscape was only grass with a few palm trees and leaning... YES, leaning street lights. So the Municipal Board spent $$ to facelift the area, with concrete pathways and beautiful lights, as well as benches for lepak. The downside is there is no parking space, so people tend to park on the road, making it a single lane.

Aiyoh, tu bukan kampung. Tu pun mcm istana jugak seh. Bestnye rumah2 kat Brunei, semua besar2 majestic looking, unlike our 'pigeon holes' homes here in Singapore!
mama, Alhamdulillah.... I guess dulu harga tanah murah & penduduk tak ramai. Rumah ni pun dah 40+ years old! Pigeon Holes? heheh
Anyway, enjoy ur trip to the 'muddy estuary' ye,

Hehe...that does not look like a kampung at all.
what is nasi katok by the way?
Blushwax: That is as kampong as it can get heheh. Nasi Katok is actually nasik bungkus: nasi putih, sambal + ayam goreng, and it cost $1. The term 'katok' literally means 'knock'. Back in the 80's, only a few people sold nasi katok in Bandar Seri Begawan.... the customers come around, knock on the vendors home, and only then the vendor buat the nasik bungkus. It suddenly become famous in the last 5 years, as many vendors started like mushrooms
