What happened to all the
cute Balitong aka Siput Sedut in my previous post? What else? Of course they ended up as delicious, yummy food. Else... it would be such a waste :) I bought one kilogram of Balitong and asked the Balitong seller to clean the mud & chip off the Balitong tails for me (pay another extra RM1 for that, but worthwhile.. hahha, since it is troublesome to chip off the tails (1 kilo Balitong) one by one).
Since there were few bloggers asking me how I cooked the Balitong, so I will give a brief summary here:
I heated the oil in the wok & stirred fried the chopped ginger, chopped garlic and chopped chillies together till fragrant. I mixed the curry powder, belachan powder, oyster sauce, black soya sauce (one tablespoon each) together with a pinch of salt & sugar and water as sauce in another bowl. I poured in the sauce and simmered with slow fire till boiled. Then I added in the balitong and cooked using medium heat till the gravy thickened.
I guess I can hear the Balitongs
yelling for help inside the hot wok or hot kuali while cooking.. Sob sob.. (
Was I hallucinating???)
This is the final result
The dish was very hot & spicy (well.. ginger, chillies, curry powder etc..), but nevertheless, I like it that way.. Finger licking good?
I'm lovin' it ;)
And once again.. Not forgetting...
hope all the cute balitong @ siput sedut R.I.P in Balitong heaven :)

OMG.. how can you still eat that thing when you've seen it move and squirm.. and the colour!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!
I have sworn off balitong. Will use your spicy recipe on something else though.. just gave me some great ideas!
Good morning!!! Balitong??? Hmm...haven't had them for years. Luv to suck them out but the slime really gets me.
delicious..yum yum...look nice...poor balitong... Cooked ALIVE!!!!
a very mean post indeed.. seeing the balitongs suffering..
izso,
But they are just too delicious, cannot resist :)
IMLS,
If u made it hot & spicy, u won't really "notice" the slime ;)
kristopher,
well.. most of the shellfishes we consumed are cooked "alive".. just that we don't see the process :)
alicia,
aiks... will u share the same opinion with Izso - stop eating Balitong ? :)
you cruel cruel balitong killer...
kekekeke j/k
jonboy60,
it is something similar to escargot :)
phangan,
kekekke... all of us who are "omnivore" are "cruel" in a sense :P
MMMM, yummy, sure they were tasty hehehe, cute little ones though
at least your post not as scary as Agus's..
still.. not so yummy.. :(
slimmy or not har?
thao,
yeah, they are indeed tasty :)
robin,
not your cup of tea? The hot & spicy taste can cover the slimmy effect..
wow! i am impressed. Can copy recipe ?
foodcrazee,
can... my recipe are simple recipe.. self modified one :)
Eh... I know this bali tong thingy, but I really don't know how to enjoy it. I suck and suck and suck but the flesh just won't come out! Poor me... unlike my cousins, who can get the flesh out in no time.
day dreamer,
seems like your sucking technique is wrong :D Must learn to suck more... then u can "master" the technique ;)
