I once had a most memorable dinner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It featured complete whole abalones served to each guest.

Also on the menu was a giant freshwater prawn that lives in nearby Malaysian rivers. These prawns were served whole and are 30 cm (12 inches) and more in length.

They sit on your plate like a small lobster and were tender with a slightly more delicate flavour than other prawns.

My last meal would be a recreation of this wonderful dinner.
