This time around the mural features local exotic foodstuffs like the famous Sago Worm locally known as Siet, leafy worm known as Lamas or Lameh, lobster and related insect.
Headed by a teacher from MARA Junior Science College of Mukah (MRSM Mukah), Hairy Azmeer Razali, the event had attracted a large number of locals passing by the area on Monday morning.
