According to the menu they had 10 mugs... Tutom Pole - the peanut mug nenas sarikel - pineapple, some form of pineapple mug? bakul cina - China Basket, no idea? kelapa mawa - coconut mawa, some form of Coconut mug? Kereta Lembu - Cow Train, the buffalo cart mug. Talang-Talang - talent-talent, no idea? Ketam Batu - Stone Crab, the crab mug depicted. Headhunter - the goof like mug depicted, (quite a respectful mug as Borneo tribes people were keen headhunter during WW2) Sri Kenyalang - Hornbill, a mug depicting the Hornbill or the elaborate Iban carvings of Hornbills? Bujang Satay - bachelor satay (bachelor food)- I have not a clue, as Bujang could translate as single/bachelor/flunky and Satay is the tasty meat on stick with peanut sauce, but "Bujang Senang" means "Happy Bachelor" and was man eating crocodile, so a crocodile mug or wahinie mug (food for bachelors)? ..something to look for my local flea markets, or a place to visit next time I'm in Malaysia. |
