Sometime ago, while dining in a restaurant in Melbourne China town, my friend suggested that we order a La-la dish. Then I found out that La-la, known in Malaysia is referred to as Pi-pi in Aussie land. Well, be it La-la or Pi-pi, to me 'Clams' is more appropriate and better understood.
Now, back to this one-dish meal, it's easily prepared and very tasty, especially the soup ..... slurp, slurp to the last drop. For the health conscious, round it up with a hot cup of Green tea, which may help bring down the cholesterol level after consuming such delicious crustaceans.
tasty prawns, fish fillet, good old La-la and some greens.
indulging once in a while, is acceptable .....
mmm ...... isn't it tempting ...... try me
a must have .....
some freshly chopped chilli padi/birds' eye chillies
and garlic to go with it
