Monochrome maniacs : Lady clad in sarong

From monochrome
From monochrome

I met this lady when she was processing black pepper into white pepper. The black pepper is packed in sacks and placed in the running stream for some time before they are retrieved and further processed into white pepper which fetches a higher price.

    Beng Beng,

    You going to have a baby? The bamboo nappies are very expensive, but if you are going to be a dad again, I will send a dozen to you.

    Iban women in Sarong, best wear to wear clothing in hot Sarawak. Veru sexy too.

    All my friends LOL at when I was in Singapore and wearing Sarong that way. Of course, here in NZ, it is too cold.

    BTW, your siblings in Epsom, do you visit them?

    Huh? It can be processed this way? Now this is weird. All this while I thought both came from separate plants. :p

    Ah now I know why white pepper is much expensive than the black ones, it took sometime before it could be processed. Thanks for sharing!

    I didn’t know that’s how you (can) make white pepper.
    Great!
    And a double entry in this case (black and white pepper AND Photo ;) )

    So white pepper is only washed black pepper – and more expensive? I’ll stick to black.
