My PIL have just arrived this evening and they brought some fresh Kupang from kampung. I never saw this in Peninsular Msia and hence have not eaten it. The flesh is more like mussels but the shells are very thin & easily broken if you pressed between two fingers.
For something fresh like this, I prefer to cook it simple as the flesh is already "sweet" & tasty. My hubby & I just love eating them with or without rice.

Wendy,
ReplyDeleteIt's ok if you don't take kerang bcoz it is RM8.50/kg in Miri & 80% is shells... in Perak they are so cheap! I love raw mussels & oysters...woooo delicious! So this Kupang dish is all for you dear... make sure you clean the table after that as a lot of shells to throw...hehe!
