having almost similar lever of alcohol contents. “tody are prepared

The same scene taken from another tree. The purpose
this could be a familiar scene to many! Left-A bunch of young coconut
nurturing from the flower so see the inflorescence in full bloom. The
nectar bearing flowers in full bloom. The bees are the sole beneficiary
to these nectar. If there is a use and also a way to harvest these in
quantity, then the nectar can be transform into nutritious food.
Harvesting is the concept and using this raw material to produce “tody”
is process!
The inflorescence upon reaching maturity are
prevented from proceed-blooming! See picture-it is properly bundled up
to prevent the brace. The tip is sheared to allow the discharge of
nectar formed. This inflorescence is a typical example, with
earthen pot on left beside on stand-by to accumulate the discharges.
Notice a staff is in position to prop the inflorescence at a near
horizontal position away from its 45% natural stance!
Inflorescences in full production will have the
pots attached to its end to save the nectar dripping out endlessly. As the collection is on a daily basis, trees planted
for the purpose have tree trunks properly prepared for easy and safe
ascend. The collected fluid upon fermentation will produce
that tempting drink “Tody”
“Tody” is a prevailing drink in the estates, purely
for the fact that is near to coconut plantations and located next to
Rubber/Palm oil estates. It is cheap drink with the concept originating
from Sri Langka. Now there are also numerous “Tody” outlet in the town
center! These days, the affluence takes “Tody”with stout as a choice
drink!. With patrons relaxing under the coconut trees. The
drinks are purchased in pails instead of jars! One Liter RM4.00. Nest! Is the sale of “Tody” legal? Absolutely
legal! Malaysia being a religious country frown on the open sales of
alcoholic drinks. From the mode of transport, quite clearing
substantiate the believe that most patrons are from lower income group!
Patron who enjoy the here are from al kind of groups they
prefer to have the drinks served in the privacy of their home.
