That, my friend, is the yummylicious Mr. Octopus cooked in hot water and dipped into a mixture of sweet chilli paste with deep fried shallots and grounded peanuts!
I've been craving for Tuboseng for the longest time, it takes about an hour drive from Penang to Nibong Tebal for this meal and if you're really unlucky they're sold out the moment you make your order and this place is yet to be modern enough to be accepting reservations. But if you're lucky enough to be passing by Nibong Tebal, just look for Ruiyen Restaurant, next to Public Bank, the locals usually know where to point you to.
I got too greedy and ordered way too much for 3 of us. When you come to this place, there are a few things that is a must try - Deep fried pork knuckle, tuboseng and seafood. All kinds, crabs are usually the favourite. But I just had to have my lala and fish steamed Teowchew style. Since there's too much food for carbs we ordered the Singaporen Meehoon. Ah. The food was SO GOOD... *swoon* So good and it only came up to RM51 for our luncheon!
Come, and I'll treat you to lunch!
