Tanjong Tualang – Fresh Water Lobsters

It was about 10 years ago that I went to this place Tanjong Tualang located in the Kinta Valley, Perak State and near to my birth place Kampar. The place is famous for Fresh Water Lobsters or actually big size prawns locally known as "Udang Gala". A pricey commodity. Tanjong Tualang was in the local News because the last remaining Dredge for Tin Ore was to be dismantled.

My father used to take me there for this special dish years ago when I was a kid of 10! Ever since then whenever I am back in my old home-town I made an effort to drop by there for a wonderful meal of Steam Prawns!

Sharing our recent trip there and if you have the opportunity, you must try these out! Actually I preferred the Fried Prawns even the Steam Prawns are delicious too! Enjoy!
