Have u tried gong-gong ?

For our Farewell Dinner on the 2nd night, we were all driven in a convoy of mpvs and vans to a Kelong Restaurant at Sebong Bay. It is built on stilts over the sea waters. On arrival, we could just about see the beautiful soft glow of the setting sun in the distant horizon. The shadows and inter-play of light between the darkening day and onset of night cast shimmering reflections on the gentle, rolling waves. I saw quite a few excited people whipping out their cameras to capture the picturesque scene.

In no time at all, staff of the kelong served up dish after dish of the most delectable sea food.

One of the first was a big serving of the sea-shell we call "gong-gong".You need either a tiny 2 pronged fork or a long toothpick to pull the edible portion out from the shell casing. Then? Then just dip it in chili sauce and pop it into your mouth lah! ATC Chairman, Cynthia Phua saw some doing that and cautioned that it may be wiser to remove the innards before eating it.
"Aiyoh! Too late lah, already swallowed the whole thing"...I heard someone saying.
No one asked what would happen if the innards are eaten.
I think nobody wanted to know.

Better not know..then can enjoy the food more.
