Review Body: Amazing!! It is really helpful and give information by open the website and pages to tell everyone what they do contribute with all the handicraft. They do offer the class to those interest to learn the handicraft making process. Tanoti House do sale the handicraft beside joint the world competition for creative designer to show their talents to the world. Tanoti House also used their place to display all the handicraft and give study / advice to the public. Very useful to those in research of the heritage by talents or any what's being did or do in the pass or in present time. But business is still a business, not only gains the profit but the acknowledge to us and everybody who loved the heritage and the creative designer as a platform to help themselves and everybody.

Review Body: Now I understand why a piece of traditional hand-weaved silk can cost as much as RM80k. The deaign has to be weaved into the fabric thread by thread, all by hand without any electrical powered machinery. And it can takes a master weaver more than a year to complete. Weaving is beyond creating something practical, it's an artform and also a living artifact that speaks of our rich culture.

Review Body: Ms. Umang provided an excellent tour and explanation of the weaving techniques used by the artisans. I was captivated by their culture and would love to visit again if I return to Kuching, Sarawak with my friends to show a glimpse of Sarawakians culture 🤗

Review Body: You can visit the workshop and see the team of weavers in action. There is also a shop which sells Tanoti products, from handwoven silk scarves to rattan hairbands. A modern take on a traditional craft.

Visit a family who make sugar from wild mangroves
This is a rare peek into a disappearing way of life in Kuching. Palm sugar exists across Southeast Asia, but here it comes from wild mangroves - giving it a deeper, smokier flavour you won’t usually find elsewhere.In this private 2-hour experience, you’ll head into Sarawak’s mangroves with a local family to see how gula apong is made from wild nipah palms. It’s something most travellers have never heard of, but it’s a big part of everyday life here.You’ll visit a small, family-run orchard, where a husband-and-wife team will show you how the sap is tapped and slowly cooked into sugar. You’ll also taste fresh gula apong snacks made right there. It’s simple, heartfelt, and something you'll remember.What to ExpectVisit a community-run nipah palm area in the mangrovesSee how sap is tapped and turned into gula apongLearn how families live off this tradeTaste fresh gula apong snacksPrivate experience with a local familyIncludes hotel pick-up and drop-off from Kuching
