Belangkas Makhota
Info Photo Gallery User Rating Packages
"Stopping at this little shack for lunch, it was indeed, quaint. Situated right beside the bridge at Jalan Tun Sri Lanang, this place serves an unusual delicacy of shellfish, namely Belangkas, the Malay word for Horseshoe crab."

 Prepared in the most savoury style of Asam Pedas, a sweet-sour-spicy dish of the shellfish meat and roe, it has to be the most exotic thing in Kota Tinggi.

Aside from this prehistoric shellfish, there are kupang (mussels), Siput Gong Gong (conch shells) and a kind of spiral shell which is consumed by way of sucking one end of the opening. Horseshoe crabs are found in mud flats and near mangrove swamps. Catering to functions and  namely patrons, Pak Cik Abdul Hamid Rusa or Pak Hamid as he is fondly known as, has been cooking this delectable dish in his eatery for many years, attracting Tunku Makhota, the Crown Prince of Johor, to patronise his joint and regally sanctioned it as Belangkas Makhota. You can contact Pak Hamid at +6019-7061680 if you want to try this exotic dish of Kota Tinggi.
