The thick flesh is so sweet and succulent, and munching the head is just heavenly, with so much aroma and tasty flavour! 😋😋 It is called Giant River Prawn in English or Big Head River Prawn in Chinese. <br />Enjoy great Malaysian food!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185635740640294301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-15107469160038979762017-04-16T01:32:56.290+08:002017-04-16T01:32:56.290+08:00I am selling freshwater prawn (udang galah) at the...I am selling freshwater prawn (udang galah) at the lowest and cheapest price<br />12-19pisces per kg at Rm50<br />my location in Kedah<br />we can deliver depands on demand. <br />whatsapp only 016-3322 458Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117258596495231306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-33696572540646693812013-09-21T19:18:10.979+08:002013-09-21T19:18:10.979+08:00dedy oktavianus, thanks for the visit and sharing ...dedy oktavianus, thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting. <br /><br />Well different place give a different name to it but it is still one of the best prawn to cook Asam Manis here. We too use vinegar and tamarind juice. <br /><br />This Udang is expensive here. It around RM70.00 a kilo [US$1.00 = RM3.20] but we do buy it from time to time to enjoy it. <br /><br />BTW Dedy oktavianus where are you from. <br /><br />Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-79155292765019990512013-09-21T01:18:31.403+08:002013-09-21T01:18:31.403+08:00we used to called it udang satang(galah) asam mani...we used to called it udang satang(galah) asam manis here.....<br />pretty damn good, a like to add vinegar and tamarind for nice tangy sour taste.....dedy oktavianushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04146807753908177830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-65737874561023630982012-04-15T23:07:10.863+08:002012-04-15T23:07:10.863+08:00Sir Pök Déng, thanks for the visit and sharing you...Sir Pök Déng, thanks for the visit and sharing your thoughts on the subject of this posting. <br /><br />Well in KL it not only difficult to get but its expensive as well. That is because there are some 7 million of mouths to feed in the Kelang Vally. KL alone got a population of 1.7million. Moreover most of the catch are sold to big hotels and restaurants and what's left is then sold at the wet market. Anyway we do get to enjoy it from time to time when it is seen in the Wet-market nearby. <br /><br />When I was working in Sarawak in the mid eighties we could enjoy Udang Galah every day and it is cheap too. <br /><br />Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-869420921696637862012-04-15T20:07:20.832+08:002012-04-15T20:07:20.832+08:00I used to catch these prawns during my college day...I used to catch these prawns during my college days.

They surely would like to have the whole parts and fresh. Even thought the Udang Galah is now reared in pond still out here it still difficult to get. And when it is there in the market, it is expensive. Well at least we still get to enjoy it from time to time. <br /><br />As for the name of the Udang Galah in English one of own grand kids translate it to Pole Prawn, logic juga eh. <br /><br />Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-59843757992041853822012-03-16T15:32:59.900+08:002012-03-16T15:32:59.900+08:00Pak Idrus

Nowadays, many farmers breed udang galah. They are cheaper and not that tasty.

The Udang Galah is only found in the the tropical area [not only Malaysia] thus no English name for it. Every country in this region has a name for it in their language but there is a scientific name for it. Just click the link on my posting [hover over 'read this' and click]and you would be taken to a link]. <br /><br />Yes I am told it is nice to memacing Udang Galah and I had never done it. <br /><br />Have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-60393849614676166212012-03-13T04:45:22.824+08:002012-03-13T04:45:22.824+08:00Pak Idrus...now that you mentioned it, I just real...Pak Idrus...now that you mentioned it, I just realized i have never known the English word for Udang Galah. Does that mean this species only lives in Malaysian waters?<br /><br />I used to memancing for udang Galah from rumah rakit on Kelantan river.
