Lala with Soy Sauce–My Favorite Childhood Dish
March 29th, 2007Recipes, Malaysian Recipes18 Comments
Despite my newly acquired gear, I haven’t had time to cook lately because of work. Here is a dish I made when I was home in Malaysia a few weeks ago. This is my favorite childhood dish–stir-fried la la (a type of clams found in Malaysia) with soy sauce. The sweetness of the la la plus the savory sauce, mmm, I could eat this forever.
If only I could find this kind of clams in the United States.
What’s your favorite childhood dish?

Aww, I like this lala dish with soy sauce. It is very good with white rice, just scoop up the juice and eat with the rice.
O! I love lala! But I’ve never had it homecooked before; usually I have it outside in restaurants when I go out with a group of friends. A must have…
My fav childhood dish? A steaming hot bowl of chicken peppercorn soup the way my Mom does it — extra peppercorns! And I’ll still crunch some extra black pepper over my bowl! I lovelovelove spicy food! :)
My nanny used to cook this but she only put some lemongrass and boil it. Yummy. My favourite childhood dish, hot rice, butter and ikan goreng. Sometimes I will have it without butter but with some thick soy sauce (kicap manis pekat) and ikan goreng. It has to be ikan kembong and no other ikan. Simply delish…..
Ooh La La! Yummy! Love it. One of my fav childhood dish is bread dip in curry chicken sauce.
hey u not scared these shells contain sand or mud ah ? Even in developed USA?
but lala Chong Subang is just great and u have missed it once ! Do not, twice ok
Hi ! Accidentaly stumble upon your blog. Your pictures are really yummy looking.
Lala can’t be found in S’pore too. Although there are lots of them in M’sia.
This is one of my favourite seafood too- fried with preserved soy beans,ginger,onions and garlic.
Will definetly visit again.
As long as I’m looking at that picture, my salivary glands won’t stop! Wonderful!
Salut

Sing “This is RM’s childhood dish, la la la la la…la la la la” (sing to tune of that xmas song…kekekke)!
I can’t remember my childhood dish :O
I just have childhood tidbits like Twisties, and Kaka.
You eat La La since young arh? No wonder you love shellfish so much lah, coz you grew up with them.
I love my shellfish both this way and the spicy way :)
Stumble upon your site looking for restaurant.
