She sells sea shells at the back lane


Kerang cangkung

My housemate introduce this cool place to me few months back. Now, it be one of my favourite spot for dinner. The place is quite alienated and some people don't really keen to go to this place as it located at the backlane of shop houses. There's 2 stalls who sell those shells at this back lane in Bunga Raya. Both of them sell similar things; kerang, lala, siput sawah, tau kee, sotong kangkung, ladies fingers, sotong bakar and century eggs.

You can reach this place by two routes, Jalan Bendahara and Jalan Bunga Raya. For Jalan Bendahara, you just drive along the road until you reach the 4 corners traffic light where Pizza Hut is on your right. Right after traffic light, slowing down your car and park your car anywhere along the road side, near the Mercedes Benz showroom. The lane/stalls are on you right, behind the row of shop houses.


Well done boiled kerang and lala

For Jalan Bunga Raya, you drive along the road until you reach Madam King and slowing down your car when you reaching one lane before traffic light. Park your car anywhere along the road. The lane/stalls are on your right. Usually, there's chinese aunty selling kuih apam & chinese uncle selling char koi at the mouth of the road.


The dip for kerang, lala and siput sawah

Just go to any stall you prefer, they will give you a warm welcome. You can seat on the stool or on the chairs/tables provided. I prefer stool because you can order anything you want that serve in front of your nose :)

For kerang, lala and siput sawah, they will asked you whether you want them well done or half raw. I don't think I can gulp down half raw any of them. Haha. They served kerang/lala/siput sawah with their home made dipped sauce made of sweet sauce, crush peanut and a lime squeeze.


Delicious tau kee

For far, my favourite is their tau kee. Tau kee is a mixture of grilled tau kee, crush dried keropok, fried beancurd, slices cucumber, slices pineapple & fishball, splash of sweet sauce, lemon sauce & chilli sauce, a dash of sasame seed & crush peanut and a nice squeeze of fresh lime.


Sotong kangkung

Sotong kangkung is nothing different with tau kee, they just replace all the slices ingredients with boiled kangkung and sotong.


Century egg with ginger pickle

Usually, before I left, I will order 1 century egg as desert and it comes with sweet ginger pickle. Its almost taste like malay telur pindang. For drinks, you can choose from longan (the favourite), barley, limau ais, chinese tea to can drinks to wash down all the food you consume.

This stall is open around 8pm roughly until 10:30pm and closed on Tuesday.
