Bought these Balitong from the Batu Lanchang afternoon market. Yeah, they were still alive and very active. Climbing all over the places like naughty kids.
This Balitong has Long Neck.. Looks like a Giraffe :P
Notice the two little antenna? This Balitong is busy looking around.. and sniffing with it's long nose..
Another naugthy Balitong trying to escape.. Climbing down from the bowl..
I can't imagine I cook and eat this cute little creature few hours later on :P
Don't u think this Balitong looked like riding scooter ?
Guess what happened to all these cute Balitong or Siput Sedut??? I guess u all know what is the final outcome, which will be revealed soon..to be continued.....

You are cruel.
But do share with us how you cook it, and how does it taste like :p I suppose you will have some new way of cooking it? :)

owes feel so tired after eating this.altho i don like the taste so much but its FUN to suck it out :P
chen, u really love seafood ho??haha
@ロウ.LOW@
yeah, I admit I'm cruel :P
But hard to resist good food :)
My cooking method is the normal method which most people used. I will write a post on that later :)
pink cotton,
Sarawakians call the siput sedut with different names. Over here, everyone call it as Balitong :)
Seafood is nice, right? Yeah, I love seafood :)
They look so cute and also pretty :) I guess since they have a cute and pretty look, then they also have a good taste, right? hahaha....
Look forward for the cooking part!
As I scrolled down the page ... looking at the photos ... thinking you are going to chronicle how the live Balitong become food at the last picture ... suddenly ... no food photo!! Ophss!!:O You didn't happen to let them go eh? *lol*
"noooo! don't eat me! don't eat me! aaarrggghhhhh!"
LOL!! they're pretty, but I'm not a big snail person. hope they taste good to the eater after all that effort ;)
i like balitung stir fry with mild chicli powder..and SUCK!!!!
chewwwwwwwwzzzz!!!!!!
selba,
cute & pretty food = taste nice ??
Good equation :D
The cooking part will be out soon..
Haven't write the post yet.
sharl612,
Letting them go? No way :P What a waste if I let them go, hahhaha...
The living Balitong had no choice but become food at the end... But since they are so cute, I guess it is cruel to put the cook Balitong photo in the same post. So I separate it :D At least won't feel "pity" or "sakit hati" :)
may,
They are yummy. Slurp :)
cynthia,
Nice leh.. I want to buy Balitong again this coming weekend :D
i like it stir friend with oyster sauce. masak lemak cili padi pun best juga.
nurul,
masak lemak cili padi? Resipi ini I tak pernah try lagi :) Whatever cooked with chilli definitely sounds nice :)
They are sooo cute!!
omg.. I will never eat another balitong ever again!
sambal balitong!
hasan,
yeah, there are many cute things around us. Even the tiny little bugs can be cute as well :)
izso,
are u sure? ;)
alicia,
another balitong lover? great :)
i think hisap balitung can practice kissing skill!! muahahahahhahahaha....
nolah, i eat few only leh, maybe i am not good in this.
:P
another cute shellfish species "cooked" by chen... just joking.... :)
Today i only know the true name "Balitong" cos i when i order them, i just point at them or by thier more famous name "chuk chuk"... :)
carcar,
hisap balitung can practice kissing skill? This is a good one, hahhaa..
Not good in this?
then u should practise more, so that u can become a professional kisser ;)
kristopher,
haha... There are more cute photos of different species on the way.. I noticed the flower crabs are cute as well :D
I guess Sarawakians call the siput with different names? previously I just called them siput :D
AFT,
long neck mah.. that's why giraffe :D
Can't suck out the flesh? the tail was not clipped or chopped off properly? or was there a hole in the shell?
Ask Sugus? Since when he becomes the Professional "Sucker" ? oops... ;)
Haha, I want to practice kissing too :)
jacky,
great, so many "professional sucker" oops.. I mean "professional kisser" here :D
so cute!!!! 不忍心吃罗
miracle8,
Don't care so much loh..
I know they are cute.. but..
我照吃 :D
You eat those, too? How do they taste? How do you prepare them? I don't think here in Belgium, there are these kinds
Excellent shots doc! Just like what I sucked many weeks ago.
thao,
the taste is.. fantastic.. but we need to suck the flesh out :) I will write a post on the cooked Balitong in one or two days time ;)
agus,
Thanks :) We do remember, u are the professional "sucker" - I mean the professional "siput sucker" ;) Sucking the siput is indeed fun :P
Aisi!!! it didnt look that way when it was cooked` hahah.
hard to suck? suck the tail of the shell first, then suck the head again. special eating skill.. wouldnt get sore mouth liaw.. hahah~ :P
a^ben,
hahaha, when they were cooked, they looked totally different - nice dishes awaiting for us to savour :)
what u mentioned is correct. If at first, the fresh is hard to suck.. Can always try to suck the tail part till the "intestine" is sucked out, then suck the head again. Most of the time this works :) This special technique "sucking both the head & the tail" means 有頭有尾.. hahaha, or "got head, got tail" :P
Intestine.. wow..
got sh*t inside?
robin,
intestine woh..
what u expect leh?
of course got loh.. hahha..
If I am not mistaken the English word for "balitong" is "Cerithidea" Check it out at Wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerithidea However, I could not find photos matching the balitongs that we usually eat
