Chinese soft-shelled turtles are food, not friends

A long time ago, I had turtle at Restoran Sin Tong Kok in Sri Jaya.

On the way to Kuantan this time, we decided to stop there to eat it again. But Sin Tong Kok was closed. A banner announced an event the previous day…so we guessed that it might be closed due to that event. Luckily my father knew another nearby restaurant where they also sell turtle. This other restaurant is called Restoran Dong Mee Hong.

Note: My mother says that they call the turtle literally “water fish”. When I looked it up online, I found that it is “soft-shelled turtle”. I was wondering how they got the shell off…I guess they didn’t have to. :P

claypot turtle

If you look back at the previous post, we ordered the exact same dishes at this restaurant. The claypot turtle was prepared a little differently…not spicy (my mother says that the other restaurant makes it “kung po”). But it was good, and that is the most important! 

If not mistaken, the fish cost RM60 and the turtle cost RM40. The veggies and the drinks are negligible. :P
