Mini Malaysia: Rumah tradisional Perak (traditional house of Perak)

Akhirnya sampai giliran Perak...
Finally comes the turn of Perak...

Inilah rumah bumbung panjang Perak. Papan maklumat di luar turut menyebutnya sebagai rumah kutai atau rumah lama Perak. Tetapi replika di Taman Mini Malaysia di Melaka ini nampaknya tidak memiliki satu ciri penting rumah kutai... iaitu ukiran seperti lidah tergantung di setiap sudut bumbung. Bandingkan dengan rumah-rumah dalam artikel Asal-usul rumah Kutai di Perak (The origin of the rumah Kutai in Perak) .

This is the long roofed house of Perak. The information board outside also mentioned it as rumah kutai or the old house of Perak. But the replika at Mini Malaysia in Melaka looks like it does not have one important feature of the rumai kutai... that is the tounge-like carvings jutting out of every corner of the roof. Compare it with the houses in the article Asal-usul rumah Kutai di Perak (The origin of the rumah Kutai in Perak) .

Apapun mari kita masuk ke dalam!
Whatever let us go inside!

Kelihatan ruang dalaman yang agak luas.

There appears a rather spacious part inside.

Ada serambi dalam yang kelihatan selesa.

There is a comfortable-looking inner verandah.
