華都亞也的旅程 / Journey to Batu Gajah



















連續三個星期天與家人驅車趕路上華都亞也(Batu Gajah) 為的是要找一名鐵打醫師來醫好我與母親在一年前弄傷的腳。由五點半左右開車上路﹐用了大約三小時的車程才到達。路過問人﹐好不容易才找到那名醫師。第一個星期包雜了腳後還蠻早﹐父親提議不如上美羅(Bidor)走一趟。就這樣來到了美羅。

用餐後﹐在那兒的街場走走。那裡擺了很多水果攤﹐父親一眼望過對面的攤子就對我們說那攤子的水果我們從來都沒有吃過的。奇怪﹐心想哪有可能。越過馬路到達那攤子時﹐望一望那水果。天啊﹗真的還沒吃過這水果。這水果馬來語稱為Tampoi﹐馬來人也稱這水果為山山竹(Manggis Hutan) ﹐不懂華語稱為甚麼。可能是成長靠近城市吧﹐這還是我首次吃到這水果﹐城市可能買不到。味道還蠻像山竹﹐難怪馬來人稱它為山山竹。

Went to Batu Gajah three Sunday continually reason is looking for a Chinese doctor cause want to cure my mom & my leg that injured since 1 year ago. Start the journey at around 5:30a.m; the whole journey took around 3 hours. Reached at the actual location after asked the local people there. For the first week after met the doctor, time still early. Dad suggested goes to Bidor.

We had our lunch when reached at Bidor. Then we just walk around & found out there are a lot of fruit stalls. From far away, Dad pretty sure & told us that we had never been eat one of the fruit that selling by one of the hawker. I’m not believed what Dad told us. After reached at the stall & have a look; My god, can’t believe. Really never eat before. The fruit in Malay name is Tampoi. But Malay people named it as Manggis Hutan(Jungle Mangos teen). May be I living somewhere near city, that’s why never eat before & this is my first time to taste it. The taste is similar like Mangos teen; no wonder Malay people named it as Jungle Mangos teen.




















這就是馬來人所稱為的山山竹了 / Tampoi(as mentioned above),Malay people named it as Jungle Mangos teen.... look nice right? ummmm....yum yum...


第二個星期出發時間一樣﹐回程時特地在路旁停下為的是要拍那蓮花池。因為第一個星期回程時駕駛地太快﹐在母親告訴我後以來不急停下。所以這回駕駛速度減慢了為的是捉拿這美景。

The second week journey start at the same time, when went back the time we stop our car at half way beside the road the reason is want to snap photos at the lotus pond. The first week when we back the time I had drive too fast, by the time my mom told me there is a lotus pond there but I had missed it. So this time I had slow down the speed to captured this nice view.



















這就是我所說的蓮花池 / Lotus Pond


第三個星期在回程時﹐父親建議再到美羅走一趟為的是想買山山竹。但這回沒那麼幸運了。到了那兒﹐看見了那賣山山竹的小販沒擺攤子。問了他原因﹐原來這水果不是每個星期都有得賣。聽父親說﹐他最後一次吃這水果是在小時候﹐直到現在都還沒吃過。上次可品嘗這水果﹐我可算是幸運了。

The third week when back the time, Dad suggested goes to Bidor again cause want to buy Tampoi. But this time we not as lucky as last time cause the hawker did not sell at this time. He told us that the Tampoi would not sell every week. Dad told me the last time that he ate this fruit is when he was child & had never taste it until now. I feel I’m lucky cause had tasted it before.

Hi anonymous, sorry to tell you that I don't have the phone number for the doctor. My suggestion is that once you reached at Batu Gajah, you can ask people there, they will guide you to go there. Should be very easy to reach there because last time we also guided by the people there. Good luck to you.
