永平之旅 -- 椰糖 Gula Melaka

Palm plantation 

cottage industry

this is the part to take the sap from the palm tree 

coconut palm 

sacrifice one for demo 

open it up 

those small balls would have become coconuts 

a few 

these are dry n hard 

boil the sap  

furnace 

logs to make fire 

put into these molds 

these are melted syrup 

wait for it to dry  

package it 

to the shops 

next batch 

in action 

hard work 

boiling 



最有趣係這兒，唔知道椰糖Gula Melaka係Palm sugar (from coconut palm) , 原來咁做㗎，好新鮮又唔甜，買時係暖㗎！
