Gift

During the Deepavali holiday, a friend and her family came over for holiday. A friend of hubby. He went to meet them on Sunday, brought them for breakfast and lunch. 

His friend gave us this gift. A pack of snack from wplace.  Pepper cashews as it was called but consist of few seeds and nuts. 


It was super good and wholesome. Hubby and I mostly snacking on it, and it was addictive! Thank you to hubby's friend for this lovely gift and introducing us to a new snack. 


One night, my man brought back this packet of frozen snail (tong fung lo). A gift from a friend, who visited Sabah. 


Washed and rinsed few times to wash away any sand from the snails. 

Frozen


I simply boiled it in boiled water with ginger strips, salt, garlic and lemongrass for few minutes. 

For dipping, I simply added some minced garlic with light soy sauce and lime juice. 

How to eat?? Stand by toothpicks as it could be a hassle to pull the snails out from their shells. Some would be easy; just pull the sharp pointy black part of the snail slowly. And you will get a proper, fully intact flesh.

I have eaten snails like this when I was very young, about 4 or 5 years old and never seen then. The nuts seem to be a healthy snack.
