How to steam clams and mussels...

Last week i went to a place call Brussels Sprout @ Robertson. As a typical Singaporean, i am so used to the bbq seafood style of chilli seafood or stir fry with some sauce. However western way of preparing shellfish like clams and mussels is to steam them and they are simple yet delicious.

Here i have is New Zealand Clams steam simply with some simple ingredients.
