Often times this product has been confused with or mistaken for gula melaka due to their similar appearances. Similar in looks but miles apart in tastes. Once tasted, visitors to Sarawak will never forget its unique and unmistakable fragrance. Most Sarawak Malay cakes like onde onde, cincin and jala, just to name a few, are made with this nipah palm sugar. Even the popular Melanau kueh tumpik has to be eaten with gula apong. Ice kacang/cendol would be disappointing without this traditional Sarawak ingredient. Perhaps, the biggest catalyst in recent times in Kuching that has caused quite a buzz in the market is the ice cream gula apong.
Coincidentally, as we were recently touring Kampung Semilang in Beliong on our bicycles, we were informed by a local called Khalik that there were two huts by the road side that were producing this palm sugar. We had never been so lucky. The last four visits here we had no idea where the production was going on although we knew it had to be somewhere nearby.
We easily found the two quaint looking huts right opposite each other just outside the main road to Semilang. The humble atap huts were owned by two brothers Salleh and Anon. Both knew exactly what we came here for as they obligingly demonstrated and explained all the processes involved with gula apong production. Both places struck me as very traditional or rather primitive. Honestly, too primitive to be able to meet the eventual demand of the city folks. Sarawak is blessed indeed with so much coastal land covered by nipah forest. God given. No further agricultural efforts necessary. Coastal villagers just need to go out there to tap its sap.
Perhaps the ‘Invention and Deign Assocaition of Sarawak’ or IDEAS could step in to help upgrade the processing methods by organizing an innovation competition for local universities like Mara, Unimas and Swinburne students. The future for gula apong is too bright to ignore.
Sering kali produk ini dikelirukan atau disalah anggap sebagai gula melaka kerana penampilannya yang serupa. Sama rupa tetapi berjauhan dalam citarasa. Setelah dirasakan, pengunjung ke Sarawak tidak akan pernah melupakan wangiannya yang unik dan tidak ketara. Sebilangan besar kuih-muih Melayu Sarawak seperti onde onde, cincin dan jala... dibuat dengan gula apong ini. Malah kueh tumpik Melanau yang terkenal mesti dimakan dengan gula apong. Es Kacang / cendol akan mengecewakan tanpa ramuan tradisional Sarawak ini. Mungkin, pemangkin terbesar di Kuching sejak kebelakangan ini yang menyebabkan kegemparan di pasaran adalah gula apong ais krim.
Secara kebetulan, ketika kami baru-baru ini berkeliling di Kampung Semilang di Beliong dengan basikal, kami diberitahu oleh orang tempatan bernama Khalik bahawa terdapat dua pondok di tepi jalan yang menghasilkan gula apong ini. Empat lawatan terakhir di sini kami tidak tahu di mana pengeluarannya berlangsung walaupun kami tahu ia mesti berada di tempat yang berdekatan.
Kami dengan mudah menjumpai dua pondok yang kelihatan pelik tepat di seberang jalan utama ke Semilang. Pondok atap dimiliki oleh dua saudara lelaki Mohd. Salleh dan Anon. Kedua-duanya tahu dengan tepat apa yang kami sampai di sini kerana mereka menunjukkan dan menjelaskan semua proses yang terlibat dengan pengeluaran gula apong. Kedua-dua tempat ini sangat tradisional atau agak primitif. Sarawak memang diberkati dengan begitu banyak tanah pesisir yang diliputi oleh hutan nipah. Tuhan yang diberikan. Tidak perlu usaha pertanian lagi. Penduduk kampung pesisir hanya perlu pergi ke sana untuk mengetuk jusnya.
通常，由于其相似的外观，该产品会与Gula Melaka(另一种椰糖)混淆或误认为它们。 外观相似，但口味相距数英里。 品尝完之后，砂拉越的游客将永远不会忘记其独特而无误的芬芳。 大多数砂拉越马来蛋糕，如onde onde，cincin和jala，仅举几例，都是用这种尼帕棕榈糖制成的。 即使是流行的Melanau kueh tumpik也必须与一起尼帕棕榈糖食用。 如果没有这种传统的砂拉越成分，Ice kacang / cendol将会令人失望。 还有，古晋市最近引起市场轰动的就是这尼帕棕榈糖冰淇淋。
巧合的是，当我们最近骑自行车游览吻龙的甘榜塞米朗时，当地一个叫Khalik的人告诉我们，路边有两个小屋正在生产这种棕榈糖。 我们从未如此幸运。 尽管我们知道必须在附近某个地方，但在这里的最后四次到访我们不知道生产在哪里进行。
我们在通往塞米朗的主要道路外面，很容易发现了两个相互对立的小屋。 简朴的阿塔普小屋由 Mohd. Salleh 和 Anon两个兄弟拥有。 他们俩解释了尼帕棕榈糖生产的所有过程。 这两个地方都使我感到非常传统或原始。 老实说，太原始了，无法满足城市居民的最终需求。 砂拉越确实拥有如此多的被尼伯河森林覆盖的沿海土地，这是很幸运的。 无需进一步的农业努力。 沿海村民只需要到那里去挖掘它的汁液。
