What's the one colour you see, your fam? You know it's giving like sea vibes. Very blue, we sit there and eat ah. We tried five dishes in Clam Sanctuary Sriatamas and the first one is this sake wine bentong ginger clay pot soup. Oh very gingery, herbally, brothy, homie. This is their cheapest option, Sabah Clam. And it still has that salt water taste. It's extra juicy and extra meaty from a normal La. I mean if you like the whiny, herbally stuff, you will like this but if not, nah. I also wish it was a bit more saltier. Three, two, one, flamen. Clam chowder soup with puff pastry. Let's eat it together. It cracks off just like that. Buttery, flaky. The pastry exterior gives me the expectation of something chunky inside like a chicken pie but it's not. You think what I'm thinking? Maybe. Three, two, one, mushroom soup. I still like mushroom soup better. What I was expecting was inside also would be like thick but inside is just very watery. The overall taste is really not bad at all. Clams are always fresher it seems like. The pastry was nice. For me, the best part of the dish was also the smallest. The clam chowder soup was meat. Three, two, one, six, clay pot chili dark sauce with premium white clam. One of my favourite style of dishes, dried chilli. This is 44 ringgit. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine. The sauce, expected taste. When you eat immediately you feel the spice. Premium white clam. The texture is sort of milky. Also a bit bouncy and firm. Three, two, one, 7.2, stir-fried vihun with clam. I like this kind of springy texture. The fragrance is wok hay and egginess. The clam small but tasty. This one I like, 18 ringgit and definitely can feed two people. So ah, one person only nine ringgit. Very savory and umami. You should buy you think. Three, two, one, eight. 8.5. You know why because I don't like bihun. Ah so this one made you like bihun. Clay pot soup premium white clams 44 ringgit. It's definitely supposed to mean. Spiciness comes from the red chili and also the ginger. The difference being from the other soup. This one is saltier, sweeter, spicier. I like this soup better than the bentong ginger soup. Let's go. It's like herbly wine. The soup is good. The price? Sea clam is 20 something ringgit. Half the price. 22 ringgit. This is 44. The size is kind of double right for a clam. If you think that way. Double the price, double the size. Is that worth it? Three, two, one, 8.8. Don't lie. I was thinking 8.7. It's big. It's huge. It's a lot to see. It's a lot to see.
