Siput Gonggong ( Dog Conch Snail )

Oh dear....I was browsing through web today and I came across, a very very long missed favourite seafood of mine, i.e. Siput Gonggong (or Long Long by Malaysian Chinese) or Dog Conch / Laevistronbus Canarium to westerners.

Siput Gonggong are sea snails and they taste delicious and tender. The simplest way to enjoy Siput Gonggong is by boiling them in water for a few minutes (best is 15 minutes) then lift up, use a tooth pick to pick the flesh out and dip into some hot sour chilly / cayenne souce...mmmmmm! If you want a more savoury taste, "Siput Gonggong Masak Lemak Chili Padi" or dog conch snails cooked with coconut cream and hot cayenne / chilli. That would really open up your appetite and make you crave for more...

So have you tried Siput Gonggong? If not, give it a try when you are in Malaysia....
