Fried Baby Clams with Chilli

Anyone who has known me long enough knows I LUURRRVEEEEE Lala/Clams/Pipi! You know... the little tiny clam in a grey colour shell? My mum always says, "Hou sek meh? Dou mou yuk!" (Why is it so nice? There isn't much flesh!) I totally agree of what she says but I have no idea how this fella captured my taste buds. I love this ever since I was 9 years old? I frantically searched the WHOLE Kuala Lumpur for this the last time I went back for winter break. When I gave up my slightest hope, I found it in a place selling prawn noodle.

After I have finished the first bowl of clams,

Bean: You don't want another bowl?
Me: It's okay...
Bean: You sure?
Me: Hehe... OK LAR!

In the end, I ate two bowls of pure clams! Did not even share a piece with Bean! That is how much I like this mini fella!

Ever since I returned back to Melbourne, I did not have a single taste of clams. It is quite difficult to find it in Melbourne unless you are willing to pay a bomb for it in Chinese restaurant! However, Chinese restaurant serves those of a different species, the thicker shell which I less prefer.

Look what my housemate unintentionally found in an Asian grocery store in Melbourne yesterday!

Bless her for her good eyesight and the guy who manufactured this!
