Steamed clams, steamed scallops - I love steamed seafood!


Enjoyed these steamed scallops and clams, at the same place (Jia Duo Li Eatery, Jordan District, Hong Kong) we had Typhoon Shelter Crab.

Big fat scallops on the shell...

These clams were cooked the same way as the scallops. At least, the seasonings/marinade, garnishes and cooking method were similar. Steamed with glass noodles in a soy sauce base then garnished with red chili and scallions.


Smart, isn't it? The glass noodles absorbs the "clam + sauce" essence very well. Nothing comes to waste!

    I love steamed seafood too!

    Except, the seafood must be very fresh. I do miss the seafood from HK a lot ...

    WOW! First time I see people use glass noodle in steaming dishes to absorb flavor of the dish. Very interesting indeed!! Great idea!

    The imagery of the glass noodles soaking in the essence of the seafood is now stuck in my head. But where can I go in Singapore to satisfy my craving :P~

    I love bass and pomfrey steamed with ginger, scallions and soy sauce. Yummy

    When I was in Singapore and Malaysia last summer, I had those almost every day.
