They've introduced me to a sort of 'rare' local delicacy - Siput Mentarang. Well, it is said that this 'siput' is only available in the muddy beaches of the West coast of Malaysia... and they need to dig up sand to find 'em.
There are a number of stalls along the way from Tg. Karang to Sabak Bernam which sells this 'siput'.
( and being a local of Terengganu myself, i honestly have never seen this kind of 'siput' )
.....some of the stalls there are also selling Mentarang bakar - told to be delicious. but i never tried it before.
The price is also not that cheap, RM 8 per kilogram .
The taste of it is just like 'Kerang Rebus', however, the 'meat' below the shell is MORE than the usual kerang, a.k.a. clam.
Nearly 3 times more in fact ! - so mooree satisfying ! :)
BEST !!! ( I finally finished nearly a kilo of Mentarang rebus on that day !! stopped only after i felt 'guilty', guilty of having to raise back my Cholesterol level........, hehe )
However, it's an experience ill never forget, and DEFINITELY i'll look for it later during another visit to my in-laws scheduled in +/- 3 months time, HaHa
