Jepak BBQ (Bintulu)

One of my students Jason throws a post- JAR exam celebration at his dad's get away in Jepak, on the 26th November 2010. By all account the 200 acre site is primitive - mostly newly planted oil palms in a no-man's land; but rustic and back-to-the-past feel was definitely there.

There is no piped water, sanitation and electricity. They rely on rain water, and solar power. But it's a hide-away! Who cares about the stuff that we need to survive in a town or city?

We get there like 7pm and started 2 fires using firewood picked from the ground and some charcoal. The boys have their fun trying to light the fire and keep it going. They cook up a storm of the usual chicken wing, steak, lamb meat. I get my wish list granted by Jason when he serves me a steak meat and papaya.

And the curry chicken and bread is to die for......

All simple stuff at a local BBQ. Nothing stands out but it is fun for the boys.

And we even go to the beach some 200 m away for good measure and dip our feet in the South China Sea.
