Bukit Tambun武吉淡汶

Bukit Tambun (武吉淡汶)


View Larger Map

Bukit Tambun (武吉淡汶)is a town located at the south of the mainland of Penang.

It is famous for its seafood restaurants, offering a variety of seafood delicacies at attractive prices. It is also located near to the Batu Kawan sports stadium.

Bukit Tambun is a riverine community in Seberang Perai Selatan. It is located along the banks of Sungai Jawi. So far, it exists as a fishing village populated mostly by Chinese. Because of its proximity to the sea, Bukit Tambun gets fresh seafood. As a result, a number of seafood restaurants have opened in this village, drawing customers from both Penang Stadium and Penang Island.


華人在威省開拓甘蔗園坵,應該早在1800年之前,當時都是小規模種植,這個小格局維持了至少20年,而開發地區也集中在中部武吉淡汶(Bukit Tambun)往南到峇都交灣島(Batu Kawan)一帶。(峇都交灣是個大島,當年威省沿海地帶深入內陸數里地都是紅樹林沼澤地,後來環抱該島三邊的河道淤淺以至填平,島接連陸地而失其特徵,今人只知當年同名村落發展出來的鄉鎮。)歐洲人要遲至1840年後才在威省種植甘蔗,而在這30多年裡,威省甘蔗業主要靠華人獨立經營,當地人口也隨園坵業和榨糖業的發展而增加,1820年華人總數只有325人,到1833年已激增至2千259人。

The area called Bagan, Bukit Tambun is famous for seafood, it is not one restaurant, but many restaurants. It is situated in Bukit Tambun and easily assessable from the North-South Highway to Ipoh, a 30-minute drive from Penang Island to Ipoh. Upon reaching Bukit Tambun, you will go through a small road and reach the end of the road. This is where all the restaurants are, popular like Prawn village and Fish Village.

The seafood is cheap and fresh because the area is near the sea and river. The place will be crowded, especially on the weekends and holidays, with locals and foreigners alike. Do try the crabs, prawns, fish, oysters, and seashells.

Tambun Biscuit淡汶饼

檳城淡汶饼:“淡汶饼”其实就是泉源早年驰名的豆沙饼。话说第二次世界大战前,泉源饼铺里的一名做饼师傅辞工回到家乡武吉淡汶,也做起豆沙饼买卖,因避免抄袭之嫌,他把豆沙饼的体积缩小,易名“淡汶饼”,“淡汶饼”小巧玲瓏,基本功夫做得好,结果名堂叫开了,老师傅也得改弦易辙,適应潮流;隨后各地“淡汶饼”家到处林立,而泉源饼铺的出品,始终是食客的首选。说“泉源淡汶饼,饼香飘千里”,因为买这间店淡汶饼的游客佔70%,除了新、马、泰游客,许多港、台外商更买回国馈赠亲友。

Khaw BOO AUN 许武安(1837— 1906

许武安(1837— 1906)字佑光,1837(道光十七年丁酉)诞生於槟城,祖籍广东潮州府潮安(旧名海阳)县宏安宰(横陇乡)。父佬合公,十九世纪初年从唐山过番到峇株卡旺(Batu Kawan 按,属成省)当劳工,由於他工作勤劳,不屈不挠,再加上天资聪慧,不久即升任为甘蔗园的工头。后来他成家立业,私自购买一片园地。不久,育二男一女,长郎武安、幼郎武科、独生女美玉。嗣栳合公到霹雳州吉辇(Krian)寻找新大地。他首先向政府申请一千英亩的森林地,然后以他本身对农业所具有的经验和知识,开发芭地,种植甘蔗和烟草。此项事业获得成功后,他便在高渊创设“高兴号”,经营大生意。这期间他得到武安的大力协助,而武安就在这种艰苦情况下获得有益的训练。1866年栳合公告老退休,移居武吉淡汶(Bukit Tambun),他在大街26,Main Street 建造大厝。几年后,他在武科陪同,回返中国,消渡残年。他在告老归乡前,把全部财产交给武安看管,同时留下一句话:“经商营业,务须诚实,贫富人家,一律善侍”。在槟期间,栳合公历任韩江家庙发起人兼首任领导人。

武安幼受英文教育。年弱冠(1857)继承父业,致力於糖产,设高发糖较於霹雳古楼牛拉(Gula),复办丰裕行於古楼,为北马实业界巨子。斯时垦植菸圃蔗园,面积竟达六千馀英亩,收容工人千馀名。曾辟丰和别墅於高渊(按:同治五年1866高兴港福德祠碑有“丰和店捐银贰拾贰员”,名列次旁;光绪八年1882高兴宫碑,亦有“丰和号喜题三佰三十元”名列榜首,是年许武安名列董事人榜首。惟二碑俱不见称呼为别墅)。当时各地糖厂,均聘用英人为经理,故自欧来马之英人,慕名而趋谒者,为数甚众。爰常与洋宾接,终日畅谈不辍,送往迎来,必携枪跨马而出,猎狩於园圃之间,作蔗芭之游,如獐独跳,不顾後群;如狮独行,宾至如归,声誉日隆。善骑射,每逢出巡业务不求伴侣,乐矣,生平喜莳佳蔬,种修竹,效古之名贤,寄兴於田野篱落之间。

精力充沛的武安照顾父亲的园地,业务蒸蒸日上,不久他自己在特朗斯吉连(Trans Krian)区购得两千英亩荒地,种植甘蔗和烟草。武安除了是霹雳州和成士利省的一个华人工业巨子以外,还在高渊创设一个侨生华人俱乐部,名叫“丰和”,他连续多年成为该俱乐部的主要人物。在官场中,他被视为义兴三合会中潮州帮的一个富有影响力的首领,其根据地在威士利省和霹雳州,依照他呈交海峡殖民地警察总长布伦克(C. B. Blinect)的《华人陈诉书》(Chinese Paper)中的自述,他是义兴堂的一个先生或秘书,在1872年发生的会党械斗中,曾经积极将供应品按期运到拿律去。根据温士德和魏金逊的记述,1873年2月到8月当拿律械斗蔓延到吉连河时,有一群流动的“歹徒”,飞扬著红底白边的旗帜,自称为 “许武安之人员”。毕麒麟(Pickering)向政府提呈的一份正式报告书中,亦指出许武安为一名具有影响力的领袖。

1886年10月 7日他被委任为霹雳州议会议员,由於他当时和甲必丹郑亚贵与甲必丹陈亚炎同为议员,故亦受封甲必丹名誉头衔,1890年3月,槟榔屿华人谘询局成立时,政府为了感激他的贡献,特别委任池为该局的创立委员,一直服务到1904年为止。1905年英国政府赐封他为槟榔屿太平局绅。不幸他享受这荣誉并不长久,几个月後(按:1906年1月8日),他在武吉淡汶地方父亲所建造的宅第中辞世长眠。为实现他生前的愿望,他的灵柩保留三年后,运往唐山深浦山杜鹊坟安葬。数年後,他的甘蔗园和烟草园亦变卖给欧人公司。

许武安不仅是韩江家庙的领导人,嗣被派到广汀公冢,充任十四大董理之一。1886年创建平章公馆时,他也是董事人之一。1882年1898 — 1900年协理嗣任总理至1891年。高渊高兴宫为首的十四董事人。

德配王夫人,继室罗大人。子文造、文育、文丰、文江、文荣、文汉、文平、文山、文海、均受英文教育,多服务槟城各地政府机关或从商。女七人。许文平(武安种植园管理人)也是峇株卡旺丰成种植园(槟)有眼公司董事。孙许国材(丰成种植园管理人)则负责照顾武吉淡汶许家宅第。

武安在高渊谐街(Hight Street)留下一座家族住宅,在这住宅附近有条武安巷,位在吉辇河畔,是一条短街,用以纪念这位伟大的先驱者。这条巷的所在地正是当年义兴党载满人马与供应品的船只秘密开往拿律作战的出发站。这也许是一种很有意义的偶合吧。

武安姐美玉适爪夷纪来发,育男德泰、德责、德攀、德高、德成、德龙,今已绿柳成荫,子孙满堂,为爪夷埠盛族矣!
