[[ Magunatip Dance ]]

(My Team dance when make a prefomance at KDCA hall (KDCA-ISCEP EVENT)

(My dancing Partner )






~This dance belongs to the Murut’s tribe of Kuhijaw (Kwijau). The "Magunatip" word is derived from the "apit" word, which means "trapped". In this dance one must master and show their agility and dexterity in jumping and putting their feet between the clapping bamboos without being trapped. This dance does not usually require any instrumental music because the rhythmic clapping and stamping of the bamboos produce a loud, harmonised, beat and interesting sound or rhythm. This dance is usually performed to highlight any festive occasion .


~Performed by the young men and women of the Kwijau community in Keningau, Sabah.

~The dance involves jumping steps and the dance is a display of the skill of the dancers that maneuver their feet in and out so as not to get their feet trapped by the bamboo. The 2 bamboo poles are usually approximately 6 feet long and are held by 2 dancers that beat them together and over a shorter length of wood or bamboo creating an interesting rhythm.

~Sometimes there are even 4 poles that are held by 4 dancers. The tempo can be increased to further display the skill of the dancers.

~Among the musical instruments used are the gong and bamboo. Both are percussion instruments that provide the rhythm for the performance.

[[ Teh Tarik ]]

~ Teh tarik is a hot tea beverage which can be commonly found in restaurants, outdoor stalls and kopi tiams in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Its name is derived from the pouring process of "pulling" the drink during preparation. It is made from black tea and condensed milk.

~The mixture is poured back and forth repeatedly between two vessels from a height, giving it a thick frothy top. This process cools the tea to drinking temperatures, and helps to thoroughly mix the tea with the condensed milk. It is also done to give the tea a better flavour.

An element of showmanship exists in the preparation of teh tarik. The ability to drag a long stream of tea well over their heads is an amusing novelty for the locals and tourists alike.

~ In Malaysia, there are occasions where teh tarik brewers gather for competitions and performances to show their skills. Of late, teh tarik was recognized along with nasi lemak as part of the food and beverage heritage of Malaysia by the Malaysian government ministry.

Strictly Malaysian - Nasi lemak, our 'national dish'

Does Malaysia have a national dish? No authority or national agency has yet come forward to set things in stone, but by default, that honour would have to go to nasi lemak.

Simply rice cooked in coconut milk (knotted pandanus leaves and even ginger or a stalk of lemon grass may be tossed into the pot to add fragrance), imparting a creamy texture to the grains, nasi lemak is available on almost every street corner and in almost every local-themed restaurant, served with everything from chicken to beef to cuttlefish.

It can be eaten at any time - breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner, supper, post-boozeup - and the mingling of flavours and textures (creamy, hot & spicy, crunchy, nutty, etc) makes it simply... sheer ambrosia.

Essential condiments:
Fried ikan bilis (anchovies), fried peanuts, cucumber slices, wedges of hardboiled egg (variations: fried eggs, or slices of omelette) and sambal (a kind of cooked chili paste, plain with onions or with ikan bilis too)

Extras:
Chicken curry or rendang, beef curry or rendang, mutton curry or rendang, cuttlefish sambal or curry, chicken liver and gizzard curry, fried chicken, fried cow lung (paru), begedil (potato cutlets sometimes mixed with minced meat), dried prawns sambal (some non-halal outlets cook this with minced pork), cockles in sambal and stewed kangkong (water spinach)
