Spicy Lala

Ever since i came back fm a recent pengarang trip, had been thinking of the spicy lala which we had in uncle david's restaurant. It was a last min treat, juz b4 we left for the jetty to come back to singapore.

In order to satisfy my crave, went to many supermarkets to source for my lala & finally found them in Sheng Siong supermarket. Not too ex, onli $3.50 for a kg, but they r indeed heavy cuz of their shells.

1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1/2 tsp sugar

Method;
-Soak lala in salted water at 30mins, scrub with a brush.

-Steam on high heat till lala slightly opens.
