Kampung Benuk is a
Bidayuh Village located in Penrissen area, Kuching; approximately 15 minutes drive from Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. We dropped by
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre earlier on to check out the Orang Utan but since the feeding time was at 3 pm, so we proceed to the nearby Kampung Bidayuh instead. There is another Kampung Bidayuh located further away - the Anna Rais Bidayuh Village.
The friendly dog welcomed us to the Bidayuh Longhouse in Kampung Benuk.
The Bidayuh (Land Dayaks) Longhouse - One of the well-preserved traditional
bamboo longhouse.
The narrow staircase. Mmmm.. I guess... this is not suitable for visitors wearing high heels ;)
The Bidayuh use bamboo as building material for their homes.
The raw latex
Rubber sheets being dried to perfection under the hot sun.
More rubber sheets..
Sarawak Pepper
One of the groceries store inside the village located next to the
Paka Mini Museum. We stopped here for a drink. We were pretty dehydrated cos of the hot weather (walking under the hot sun at 12 noon) :P
Last but not least, the
cemeteries in Kampung Benuk.. This is not the end of the tour in Kampung Benuk yet. :)

This is not the typical very long longhouse. I have seen much longer longhouse :)
Those latex, not really lah smell funny :)
I love this post as I love such cultural adventures. I want to go there next time. I hv only been to Sea Dayak (Iban) longhouse.
ya lor me r uncivilised so can post those resipe...lol...
hmmm...isit nest to a bridge ledi?if so then its to the hotspring...
i like the narrow staircase. when i went there earlier this yr, i couldnt help but kept playing with them. hehe
not entirely made of bamboo ler but its still very nice.
this also called long house huh? i always thought sarawak long house are those with very unique arch roofs.
ohhh famous sarawak pepper. i tried green, black pepper sauce with pretty distinct taste.
*makes note to visit long house on next trip back*
ahhhh the smell of drying rubber, do I remember that well since they were all laid out in my grandfather's backyard, what nice fragrance.....
your ah boy looking very cheesed off at u leh...:P
daniel,
I would like to visit the Anna Rais Bidayuh Longhouse too if I have time – this one is located on the hillslope with beautiful surroundings, in Padawan, near the Indonesia border.
SA,
That’s true. I guess those who wear high heels need to walk bare feet during the visitation? ;)
The smoked rubber sheet is darker in colour, but not to the extend of black ;) More pictures on the way… :P
ah nel,
I know we crossed one small wodden bridge.. I can’t remember whether we crossed any other bridge or not..
Didn’t really look around :)
winn,
I can imagine Winn Winn climbing up and down the staircase, like what the little kids used to do..
Err.. Did u run across to and fro on the Bamboo Bridge too?
I sked leh if u do that..
I will post the bamboo bridge pictures soon..
slurp,
The longhouse now are more modernized already..
Different tribes will have different long house architectures, I still remember seeing a heap of skulls hanging on the ceilings during one of my previous longhouse visit way back in year 1999 .. Too bad I didn’t have any digital cameras during those days..
FF,
yeah yeah.. that is a must :)
spend few days in Sarawak, the Land of Hornbills :D
I took several pictures of dogs on the street during my last balik kampong trip. And most of those dogs have white fur :D
if aft the bridges the road are rock mia then it is liao lor...no tar road to hotspring... :)
Pepper drink

13th panda,
why everyone so scared of cemetery woh? Don't worry.. next post guarantee no cemetery pict liao :D
wah, the big cross must be the chief's or rather ex-chief's.
robin,
I guess so too.. Their ketua kampung just passed away few years back.
HI...I just came back from Kuching and went to the village too. But we only visited long house. didn't see raw latex and pepper too. you seemed to have enjoyed more :)
Hi.. Is there an entrance fee that you need to pay before entering the village? And odo you need a guide to go with you or is it ok for you to walk around on your own?
Suliani,
Ya, we had to pay entrance fee before entering the village, but just a small amount. I can't remember the exact figure as I went there in 2006.
We were given a map and we walked around by ourselves. Nope, u don't need a guide to bring u around the place. It is safe for us to move around by ourselves.
However I went there 5 years back. I don't how are things now or whether they do any changes or renovation to the place or not.
Greetings and thank you Chen for another blog post about my village.
I want to say that I am proud when people can saw my village through this blog post.
Keep the good work and do come again next time.
God bless.
