Some of my favourite Malaysian shellfish dishes

I have a weakness for shellfish. I consume a lot of it  whenever possible and here is a list of my favourites

1. Miniature lala, no bigger than a five sen coin , fried with ginger , garlic , bean paste and cili padi.

Sarumi - the little known salad, consumed by Penangites

 

 

Many have been wondering how Penang women stay youthful, with lithe sexy figures even when approaching 70.

While genes play a major role, exercise, fresh air from the sea and the hills, a passion for life and I dare say,love too, are major contributory factors .

 

However, women from other states have been speculating for decades, that perhaps, it could be due to foods, such as assam laksa and heh koh.

To me,other than fresh shore oysters,the Ampla fruit drink, this bitter vegetable below, could well be one of the reasons.

( You can count fish out, because, even flies won't go near these formaldehyde soaked carcasses nowadays.)
