Most villages we have trekked into would chop down the whole tree in order to tap from the tree trunk while Kampung Kiding (Padawan) taps from the cut stem of the maturing inflorescence (cluster of flowers) which is more sensible and sustainable way. Check out our post on Nyok / Ijuk Of Kampung Kiding here.
