How to cook #sambal balitung (in our language) or also known as Obtuse Horn Shell or Mud Creeper or "Chut Chut (the sound of it when we suck the meat out when eating it) #edible #snails #molluscs 😉


1) 2 tablespoon of #oil
2) Minced #shallots
3) 2 tablespoon of #chillibowl
4) a piece of #belacan (shrimp paste)
5) Add in Washed n cut #balitung
6) 2 tablespoon of #sugar


Mommy is washing it under running water with a brush for several times.

Cutting its tail~ so that it could come out easily while sucking it after being cooked.

Balitung, after they have been washed, cut and washed again. Ready to be cooked on a wok!
