DEEPAVALI celebrations are never complete for private sector worker P. Ravi without festive treats from Kampung Kacang Putih in Buntong here.

While this means travelling more than 200km from Kuala Lumpur to get those "kacang putih Buntong", the 56-year-old says he does not mind the journey; in fact, it has become an annual routine.

"I leave Kuala Lumpur about 7.30am and it takes more than two hours to get here. This place has been my family's choice for the past six years.

"We usually go there a week before the festival and among the treats we serve guests are mixed murukku, plain murukku and tapioca chips."
