The Malaysian company bottle and distribute Coca-Cola on behalf of America.

It was during this visit we learn the secret of coca-cola.

The F&N manager show us the ingredient of Coca-Cola - dark liquid in a small bottle he shown us holding in his thumb and index finger. The ingredient is a high concentration. No one knows how to make the ingredient in Malaysia. All the small bottles are imported from Coca-Coca company in America.

A small bottle of " secret" take out each time only when the production line is ready with a big tank of 'raw Coca-Cola' for mixing the two to become the real-Coca-Cola. The machine then started and fill into the glass bottles together with carbonet.

Fraser & Neave started operations at Kuching in 1966 with one production line producing 567,000 cases a year.

All the bottles of secret ingredient are preserved in a big refrigerated room with a big heavydoor. The door was opened for us to see the inside during our visit. Some one joking asked what will happen if by mistake the door is close leaving someone trapped inside. The manager replied that person would be frozen to death.

Borneo Biscuit Factory

1970 Kuching High School Members of Science Club visit to Borneo Biscuit Factory.

We all met in the factory compound at the appointed time. Most of us cycle there, the factory is not far from Kuching City center.

The manager (Right corner) of Borneo Biscuit Factory warmly welcomed us and led us from section to section of the production line and explain some of the important process.

The oven that baked the biscuit is a brick concrete room. When come to this section he explained that the brick used to construct this high temperature room is not the ordinary mud brick used for house construction. These bricks are imported and cost several time the local ordinary bricks.

Crispy waffle biscuit is a favorite in Kuching even today. It was exciting to discover how the waffle are made. While other biscuit are assembly line processed, the waffle biscuit are hand processed with waffle iron. Cream also apply by hand piece by piece. Machine only used in slicing the big stack into small piece.
