Traditional Food Festival (PULSE)

PULSE PTEK

By Izyaan Amin.

Traditional Food Festival. In conjunction with Brunei's 28th National Day celebration in PTEK, the Cooking & Baking Club held the 'Pesta Makanan Tradisional Brunei' featuring a showcase of local cuisine and cooking demonstrations done by the students.

The traditional food display which took place at the canteen area featured a wide range of Brunei delicacies such as TAPAI, KELUPIS, WAJIT, APAM, PIPIS, KUIH RANGIN, PENYARAM and AMBUYAT. The highlight of the showcase was the cooking demo where other students were able to learn about how to make some of the traditional delicacies. This include how to wrap a Kelupis using 'nyirik' leaves, how to make the simply delicious KUIH GATAS and the ever so popular PAIS DAGING, and even a display of Ambuyat-making or as we call it, 'menumpah Ambuyat'. Besides honoring our traditon and culture, teachers and other students were able to enjoy tasting these traditional delicacies that are cooked using the traditional recipes .

In this modern world, some of the traditional food in Brunei are fading or have already been forgotten. It is up to us to keep up the good old tradition. One of the ways is to keep on asking your grandparents about the kind of food they ate when they were young.

Here are some pictures to share.

Alhamdulillah, seperti yang dirancangkan. Lawatan kami telah berjalan dengan lancar mengikut yang dijadualkan. Semua penuntut yang hadir merasa lawatan kali ini adalah yang paling memuaskan. Kami berpeluang untuk mencuba pelbagai aktibiti yang diadakan seperti menganyam bakul, tarian asli Puak Dusun iaitu mengalai. Kami juga berpeluang untuk berjalan - jalan di kawasan Taman Herba dan juga melawat Gelari Muzium Balai Purun. Dan yang paling menyeronokkan kami berpeluang untuk meronda - ronda Tasek Merimbun menggunakan boat yang disediakan. Semasa lawatan ini, sedikit sebanyak kami mengetahui sejarah Puak Dusun.

Semoga dengan lawatan kami ni, akan membuka mata penduduk Brunei supaya mengunjungi Tasek Merimbun. Dan juga pelancong - pelancong dari luar negara dapat berpeluang untuk membuat lawatan ke Tasek Merimbun yang mana, akan meningkatkan lagi industri pelancongan di Negara kita ini.

Jogging & Hiking: The Might Bukit Teraja

Pusat Tingkatan Enam, Katok

Last Sunday on the 24th of July, the PTEK Jogging & Hiking club went to hiked Bukit Teraja, Belait. It all started when most of the students and teachers came around 6:30 in morning. All of them were excited about the prospect of this trip and hiking one of the tallest mountains in Brunei. As soon as we came, we all left with the bus around 7 AM.

The journey took almost 2 hours at least. We made a stop at the longhouse in Belait to donate some necessities to the people living in the longhouse. After that we continue the journey to Bukit Teraja. Once we reached there, we all gathered and pray for our safety. Once we're done and ready, the journey started there. It was tiring and challenging and the part of the hill is so steep. Part 1 of the hill was completed almost 2 hours. Before starting part 2 of the journey to Bukit Teraja, we decided to take a break because it's a tall hill.

Like the first part,part 2 is the most difficult part,especially getting to the summit. Have to go through obstacles and avoided thorns and leeches. It took us 2 hours to reach the summit and once we reached there, we were surrounded by dragonflies IF some of you noticed it.We took this opportunity to rest and take pictures.Once we're done, another 4 hours journey back to the starting point.

Journey back to the starting point was tiring for everyone. Most of us got hungry and thirsty ads well. Steep hills stood in our way but nothing can stop our desires to go back to the starting point and devour our cuisine! All of us were worn out and relieved when we reached the starting point especially I, Mohammad Mizwar was relieved. We entered the bus and went to the Wasai to change and had a little picnic. Everyone laughed and chatted with one another, it was a fun trip overall. Everyone enjoyed it. Once we all ate and changed our clothes, we packed out stuff and journey back to PTEK.

In the bus, well , most of us fell asleep but some lighten up the whole atmosphere by singing throughout the journey. Can tell they're not tired AT ALL. We all had fun at the end of the day. Everyone enjoyed this experience and hopefully one day we might hike Bukit Teraja again.
