It smelt like orange juice gone bad. I have never tasted it and I don't think that I'll be trying it anytime soon. The smell really put me off!! Nice photos you have there Peter. Reminds me so much of the rustic part of Malaysia :) I’ve smelt the toddy thingy before and boy was it pungent!! It smelt like orange juice gone bad.

It should not be left to ferment too long lest it becomes sour and more pungent. You should try nipah palm toddy. It is really nice if it is just harvested. Sometimes, it is mixed with stout, too. I like idyllic village scenes. Too bad Peter was speeding all the way. If not I could have taken a few more photos of kampung houses nestled amongst coconut palms and some expansive panorama shots of Balik Pulau and its surrounding areas which was really nice. Sweetspirit, That is why I like to watch Discovery Travel and Adventure Channel. Those sneak peeks into the lives of people in far away lands provides an interesting insight we would otherwise not know. Cherry,

My schoolmates and I used to go round Penang island on bikes and have picnics and swim at Titi Kerawang. *sigh* Don't you wish we are still living in kampungs? But with broadband connection, of course! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

But, I have been residing away from Penang since 1979. I still visit Penang 1 or 2 times each year. Best years of my life were in 1970-74, when I was in secondary school. Those were carefree years. We cycled round the island, & spent many happy, carefree, laughter-filled days in Batu Ferringhi, Muka Head, Titi Kerawang, Lorong Selamat hawkers, ........ In the countryside, the bullshit is for real. And yes, I have tried toddy, but only late in my life, in Kelang a couple of years ago, where its mixed with Guiness Stout. Your pix certainly brought back many hApPy memories......... Thnx Peter... I was born & bred in Penang. But, I have been residing away from Penang since 1979.

I remember going round island on a bicycle too. That must have been like half a century ago. Those were the days huh. I have tried both the coconut and nipah toddy. The nipah toddy is sweeter and more fragrant. The coconut one has a pungent smell. The first time I drank the nipah toddy, it was chilled and mixed with Guiness Stout. It was nice. We also had durians. That was asking for trouble. They say that toddy, Guiness Stout and durians cannot be eaten together. Well, nothing happened. You are most welcome. :) KS,
