Picnic at a crystal clear river at Benuk, Padawan

Padawan: kampung Benuk still a prestine place to relax.

It have been a long time since we went for an outing. Thus, a plan was plotted to go for a picnic at kampung Benuk, Padawan for a picnic. The picnic location is at Padawan about 30 minutes drive from Kuching City. Who can believe it, near city with clean and clear water flowing. Accoding to my friend, certain deep places we can do some fishing and the kampung (Village) people also did some frog catching for food.

The river where we were having picnic and a swim in it. We have lunch BBQ and also cooked using the bamboo, the traditional way of cooking. No pot being use, only bamboo which we put meat and local vegetable into it and then put it under the fire. The food have a different aroma which you can't get it from anywhere in the restaurant.


The crystal clear river as in the above pictures.

One of the activities can be done is to find and collect river snail which it can be cooked and be eaten. It seem that it have been a longtime since we eat the river snail (in local language we call it 'tekoyong'). My friend's son are having a jolly time playing in the river and collecting the river snail.


Cooking using the bamboo. Nothing beat the traditional way of cooking with it aroma and taste. in the picture above you can see the use of bamboo for cooking.
