One Day Trip to Malacca - Tong Bee Stall (东美档之独臂刀)

Tong Bee Stall or "longkang siham" is highly recommended for all travelers that are exploring street food in Malacca. The stall has more than 40 years history. Even this stall has good recommendation from Taste with Jason (AEC Astro), Mark Lee (Singapore Celebrities), The Star News Paper, Flavour Magazine, Life Publisher, Sin Chew News Paper and many more.

Maybe some of you thinking that eating by the drain sound not appetizing but you never try you never know. You will not regret the experiencing of tasting the seashells with its special sauce. Besides cockles (siham), other shellfish available are snails (siput) and clams (lala). I was wondering how they can serve the cockles in such juicy and plump. So I observed and found out that the preparation is simple, only boiled the shellfish then served. Probably they have their own techniques to boil it.

Came to Tong Bee Stall but can't eat seashell because of allergic? Not a seashell fan? Don't worry~ there are other side order like sotong kangkung and rojak. Another side order is fish cake, 'taukua' and 'you char kueh' that are sprinkled with ground peanuts and sweet sauce.

Non-stop customers came in and out. The stall continue busy unless the seashell and other side dishes sold out. Come early to taste or just wait patiently to get the the tiny stools to sit.
