"Siput sedut"..an edible mud creeper, fantastic menu for lunch
 |
| Mud Creeper |
While strolling along busy and
crowded market earlier on, I encountered a stall that sell mud creeper,
famously known in Google search as Siput Sedut. The Malay name is self
explanatory as one has to suck the front opening in order to enjoy succulent,
tasty flesh inside. Without much thinking, a RM5/- per portion (almost a kilo)
will be a rare treat to enjoy during lunch since the last time I ate this shell
was last June. Thinking of spicy mud creeper in soy sauce in mind,
figuratively, I kept salivating and could wait no longer for another stroll
around the market.
