Thanks for mentioning the gobek part of the process.<br /><br />I do have plans to make a trip to Trengganu to shop for some items before the wedding but time is a bit constrained. I also read somewhere that Kedai Payang is in process of redevelopment. I'll drop you a line if I do manage to make that trip.Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-67649415483614076032013-05-28T21:53:39.577+08:002013-05-28T21:53:39.577+08:00I enjoy reading your description of makan sirih. M...I enjoy reading your description of makan sirih. My memory oof that ritual is still fresh. Even today one can go to out famous KT market to buy what we call a set of 'tapak sirih' what you call the'brass basket'. You miss 'gobek', a brass cylindrical tube implement, open at one end for a piston like brass rod to be pushed in and out (called bergobek) to crush the sirih and all to a pulp for those having lost their teeth to crunch! <br /><br />Please also remember 'tapah sirih set', complete with sirih and all, used to be part of the 'hantaran'. So you'd better come to KT to buy a set before being embarrassed. I am not surprised 'bertunang' has something to do with bringing 'buah pinang'. So 'meminang' is not complete without that set!Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.com
