~welcome to Tuntung Centre~



Bota Kanan Terrapin Wildlife Conservation Centre, located 40km south of Ipoh, Perak, was established by the Perak Wildlife and National Parks Department in 1967 to protect the population of tuntung, or river terrapinFrom Ipoh, look out for the roadsign pointing to Bota Kanan. Upon reaching Bota Kanan, search for the sign pointing to the ''Pusat Pembiakan Tuntung Bota Kanan'' - you may have to ask around. The Bota Kanan Tuntung Centre is open every day from 8.30am- 4.30pm. Entrance is free. The best time to go is between 10am and 11am, when the terrapins are fed.





These amphibians are considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In Peninsular Malaysia, there are 17 species of tortoises and turtles. Of these, 10 species are freshwater tortoises or terrapins, and of these 10, two are river terrapin, Batagur baska and Callagur borneonsis. The Bota Kanan Tuntung Centre helps to protect the tuntung. In addition to educating the public and doing research on the habitat of the river terrapin, the Bota Kanan Tuntung Centre also maintain a nesting area and hatchery. Every year the centre releases 500 to 600 young terrapins into the river.




Until the late 1960's river terrapins were plentiful in Sungai Perak. This is especially true in places such as Kampung Teluk Kepayang, Pulau Padang and Kampung Layang-Layang. However, destruction of their habitat along with the collection of their eggs have brought their numbers down at an alarming rate. In addition to human causes, natural changes to their environment, including silting, changes in the river flow and water pollution also affected the tuntung population.

These centre provide the opportunity for our generation to know in depth about the amphibians. Therefore, let's visit Bota Kanan Terrapin Wildlife Conservation Centre now. Don't worry it is free of charge.. (^-^)

~secret recipe by my mom~

Patin Fish In Gulai Tempoyak

This secret recipe I learn from my mom. I like when she cook this dish. Actually, do you know what is tempoyak and how to make it? Tempoyak is a fermented durian flesh that has been kept for a while until it turns sour. For this dish, tempoyak is used to give a special sweet and sour taste to the fish gravy. To make tempoyak is easy. You simply need to take out the flesh of the durian and separate from its seeds. Then leave it in an air tight container for about two weeks before you can turn it into a condiment or gravy.

Ingredients
-3 patin fish flesh
-4 chillies padi, pounded
-2 fresh red chillies, pounded
-1 big onion, pounded
-2 stalks of lemon grass, pounded
-2 table spoon of tempoyak
-1 tea spoon of tumeric powder
-water, for the gravy/soup
-salt, to taste

Methods
Step1. In a pot, mix all ingredients together with the fish.

Step2. Add some water until it covers the whole fish.

Step3. Heat the stove and lay the pot. Stir all ingredients until the fish is cooked.

Step4. Serve with white plain rice for lunch.

Easy right? Can do it although you close your eyes. Haha.. I have self certified myself that I pass with flying colour to cook gulai tempoyak. Hihi.. Tempoyak is the hero in this dish. If you love to eat durian you should love to eat tempoyak and gulai tempoyak too. But for Botarian(Bota) people you MUST to love this dish. COMPULSORY..!! Nyummm.. (^-^)
