Malaysian cultural icons on batik
Sunday, November 29th, 2009 | Jadi Batek, batik, custom made, handicraft | No Comments
Jadi Batek Gallery caters to custom made order from customers.
Recently, a local tourist guide requested a batik shirt with Malaysian cultural elements so that he can explain them easily to foreign tourists.
We have come out with few designs and he is happy and bought all of them. He is impressed with the detail of the motif and colors of the batik fabric.
This is a batik fabric with Malaysian traditional games. Wayang Kulit, Wau and Gasing.
Wayang Kulit is shadow puppet show, Wau is kite flying and Gasing is top spinning. All are typical traditional Malaysian games and sports activities.
The tourist guide mentioned to me that sometimes when he brought foreign tourists to east coast and tried to explain traditional games like kite flying but can’t find any during monsoon season. Or when the shadow puppet show is not available during weekdays.
Now, when the real traditional activity is not found, he can now just show the shape and design of wau, wayang and gasing from his batik shirt to the foreign tourists now.
The other 2 pieces of batik fabric with wau and wayang kulit.

Celebrity Dr.Joel Mendez from Mendez Big & Small Art Co., Philippines brought his 12 talented artists to experience batik drawing at Jadi Batek Gallery.
Dr.Joel Mendez is a well known celebrity in Philippines. He is the founder of the Mendez Medical Group (of Body & Face and Weigh Less Center), President of Philippine Anti-Ageing Medical Society, Laser Medicine Society, Inc., andMesotheraphy Society. In 2002, he opened The Big and Small Art Gallery to support young modern artists so that there is space for them to present their out-of-the-box ideas through the power of visual art.
Dr.Joel Mendez has visited Jadi Batek Gallery many times but this time he brought 12 artists together to try batik drawing. Although this is their first time, the talented artists master the skill very fast. To them, batik is just another way to express their ideas.
They used the wax to draw the outline and color with dye. All of them shared on a piece of 3m silk fabric. The result was amazing. It was totally different from typical Malaysian batik artists with faces, statues, skulls and creative patterns.
It was truly a masterpiece. They will bring it home and show it proudly to their friends in Philippines. Hopefully, someone will buy it as well.
1 Malaysia Batik
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | Malaysia, batik, custom made | 1 Comment
According to Bernama today, Kraftangan Malaysia has unveiled four 1Malaysia batik designs with potential for use on attire for official functions and the 1Malaysia campaign.
The designs were shown to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak before he chaired the cabinet meeting at his office here. The prime minister will choose one of the designs to be used on attire for official functions.
The designer is Mr.Nazarii Maarus and he took a month to come up with four shirt patterns, two baju kurung and two kebaya.
“The designs incorporate all the races in the country, Malays, Chinese and Indians, and the ethnic groups of Sabah and Sarawak and feature songket, paisley, peacock feather, pua kumba, peony and cotton flower motifs,” he said.
The five colours used were red, blue, black, yellow and white, said Nazarii, who was the 2nd prize winner of Piala Seri Endon 2003.
I am glad that Batik is chosen as the official attire for 1Malaysia but I think the design should not be fixed so that other batik producers can also contribute and create their own 1Malaysia themed batik design.
Anyway, Congratulation to Mr.Nazari Maarus to take the first step. To support the movement, Jadi Batek will also present our 1Malaysia themed batik shirt soon.

48 hours in Kuala Lumpur
Sunday, September 6th, 2009 | Jadi Batek, Kuala Lumpur, batik workshop, experience, info | 2 Comments
Got 48 hours to explore Kuala Lumpur? Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most from a short visit to the Malaysian capital.
FRIDAY
6 p.m. – When the sun sets, Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown comes to life. Under Petaling Street’s red glow, take in the steamy smells of Malaysian Chinese delicacies while looking for the perfect fake designer accessory in the bustling night market. Save your tastebuds for “Ikan Pari,” stingray cooked in spicy chilis or a bubbling pot of claypot noodles: just look for the signs bearing the dishes’ names at the end of the street.
9 p.m. – Relax above the hot streets of Kuala Lumpur with a local cocktail from Sky Bar. Situated at the Traders Hotel in the centre of the city, the glowing iconic Petronas Towers are visible from your table.
SATURDAY
8 a.m. – Start a day of culinary adventure with some hot dim sum from the hawker centre “Jalan Ipoh Dim Sum” (Ipoh Street). Each bite of the little parcels is a flavour surprise. Even though the famous dishes draw a crowd, the number of dim sum restaurants will ensure there is a table available.
9.30 a.m. – Instead of buying traditional Malaysian fabrics to take home, make your own. Batik is wax painted and dyed fabric which appears in traditional Malaysian clothing and artwork. Jadi Batek (http://www.jadibatek.com/) in Bukit Bintang runs classes for first-timers to print and dye their own masterpiece. Cloth and all materials are provided but you must book at least two hours in advance.
11.30 a.m. – While your batik dries, hit the streets of Bukit Bintang for some retail therapy. If the stores on the street don’t max out your credit card, the nearby Low Yat and Sungei Wang Plazas provide level upon level of everything from the latest technology to fancy underwear.
1 p.m. – Travel to the end of Jalan Alor (Alor Street), and waiting on the right is a lunch of frog porridge. Beneath the white exterior of delicious lumpy porridge lies the sweet legs of the pond-hopping amphibian. If your stomach is not up to it, opt for the oyster omelette instead.
3.30 p.m. – Head out of the city for a few hours to Batu Caves, a Hindu place of worship. Try and avoid the prying fingers of the resident monkeys. Guarded by a 43 metre (141 ft) high golden statue of Lord Muruga, the caves have a spectacular roof, even if the floor is dotted with litter. If the main cave isn’t dark enough for you, the adjoining side caves, echoing with loud music to attract customers, offer guided adventures.
7.30 p.m. – Among the many small bars and restaurants of Changkat Bukit Bintang, the Cloth and Clef is unique. It houses art, food, drinks, live music and streetwear all under one roof. Browse through the art gallery and boutique upstairs or dine to the sounds of live music. Created by part time DJ Ethaya on the weekends it provides the perfect place for pre-drinks to a big night out.
10.30 p.m. – Zouk Malaysia gets its name from the original in Singapore, and like its parent it is the latest scene for clubbing. Hundreds of young Malaysians dress their best and line up for Zouk’s packed dance floors. The venue is split up into various bars and levels, with Barsonic the most popular. The club is home to various local DJs but is also frequently visited by international acts. Ensure that you arrive before 11 p.m. and go straight to the appropriate line before the queue builds up.
SUNDAY
10 a.m. – Fight off the hangover with a banana leaf package of Malaysia’s national dish, nasi lemak, a plate of coconut rice, anchovies and fiery sambal. One of the best is reputedly served by the Tanglin Nasi Lemak, which started selling the dish under a tree but has since moved to a proper building named after the old Tanglin hospital. The eatery is in Jalan Cenderasari, just behind the national Mosque.
11. 30 a.m. – Unwind in the lush green surrounds of the jungle and soak your aching feet at the “Chilling Waterfalls’. Along the road from Kuala Kubu Baru to The Gap, the start of the trail to the falls is signposted. To reach the waterfalls you must cross through Chilling River in five places, so wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. Remember to bring a towel and insect repellent to keep away the jungle mosquitoes. And check the weather forecast before going.
2 p.m. – Afternoon tea at Carcosa Seri Negara an old colonial mansion set in Kuala Lumpur’s Lake Gardens (Tamin Tasik). It was built at the turn of the 20th century as the official residence of the British representative of the newly Federated Malay States. After Malaysia gained independence from Britain in 1957, Carcosa became an official guesthouse for visiting VIPs, including Queen Elizabeth in 1989.
4 p.m. – Wrap up the weekend with a visit the Islamic Arts Museum, known as one of the capital’s most interesting attractions. Mainly Muslim Malaysia heads the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, the world’s largest Islamic body, and is very proud of this collection of Islamic arts, ranging from jewellery and coins to armour and miniature masterpieces of Islamic architecture.
