A quest for udang galah ends in a satisfying meal


THE tai thou har/udang galah (giant river prawn or genus Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) is a freshwater crustacean that is very high in demand, especially during the Chinese New Year.

These prawns are either harvested from the wild (found throughout most of the major river systems in Peninsular and East Malaysia) or farmed.
