Meru Tody factory

I am pushing the pace and so this morning I got Ping Su to help me out on a "maiden Voyage" to start embarking on my "Great Travel Year" Plan

We started the day by heading for the direction of Kuala Selangor to do an assignment on Coconut Plantation. After Kapar Town, I remembered that once upon a time, there were many coconut trees lining the Main Coastal roads. Some of the trees had been cultivated to produce a local fermented drink TODY. We wanted to take a close look at this business.

That morning we combed the trees with our eyes. The clue from a distance would be Coconut trees that are 2 black dots at the end of the inflorescence!

There weren’t any? Most coconut plantations now have been converted into Palm Oil estates. On the same plot of land, output from Palm Oil generates higher revenue. We stopped by a sundry shop and enquired the locals, the whereabouts of these liquor-producing trees.

Wham! Hit the jackpot. That was this local retail outlet.- the local Tody shop of Kapar. Got a hazy idea where the nearby estate would be. Still we could not find the plot of land.

1. The estate road

Was a long long search and we eventually found the road in

5. A very Spartan living quarters with space for assembly of collection cum factory

I think I could sing "God saves the Queen" when I reach home. It is like having abig boulder lifted of my chest and feeling so like and easy that I could fly. I know this place well and alway love going back to taste the freshly brewed un fermented "Tody"

Of course highly inethical even the Custom Officers were not around to suoervise. Coming back to real life, my running around, recording and writing was once again started. Next would be the pace I would set for myself.
