| Vibrant batik colours and local fruits add to the beauty of Perak |
The Durian
Festival held at Bukit Gantang,Perak in 2008 was more than a festival.
It was a Tourism
Malaysia event and Azalina Othman was its Tourism Minister while Tajol Rosli the
Chief Minister of Perak then.
 |
| Over 20,000 fruits were brought in |
The durian
was the attraction with over 20,000 durians brought in but it showcased more of
the culture of Perak and possibly of the wonderful community spirit at Bukit
Gantang then.
 |
| A relaxing morning at Bukit Gantang |
 |
| On Call....the durian opener |
It was the
culture of Perak with vibrant colours of the dancers and the accompanying
performance, so energetic with smiles of total enjoyment.
 |
| Colorful dancers ..... |
 |
| ...tantalizing.... |
 |
| ..... frolicking in fun .... |
 |
| and totally captivating.... |
The silat
display with accompanying music, the durian by-product delicacies and the lunch
following the event all added to a delightful weekend.
 |
| .... martial arts and accompanying cultural music ..... |
 |
| ...a community that work as one ....... |
 |
| The lunch..local fruit, roti jala, rendang tok .....gastronomic |
It was a gastronomic
delight and then more because it showcased Perak’s rich and wonderful culture.
