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.
