this year, we did not get her a cake in the public, but more like, having a crabby feast. my mom’s favourite food = CRABS!

I just love hairy crabs. and YESSS, it is the time of the year again! hairy crab is back. yums. also, CWZJ is doing the buy 5 free 1 crab promotion thing =D. go go try it out if you’ve never had hairy crab, and be quick because it is… seasonal. and this years one is simply big and yummy with loads of CRAB PASTE! (hai kou)

YUMM. back in China, my dad would make 2 for me everytime I have a hairy crab dinner. =D. now you know where my fats came from =X.

and if you’re lazy/noob/not good in eating crabs wholly, they have the best service. not only do they serve it fast, they also make sure it is placed nicely. =D.

and do you know that crabs are cold? as in, not literally but you need something like, ginger gui hwa tea to balance your body up. I am not sure about you but I love ginger teas. =X.

just look at ze CRAB PASTESS. <3. those are the reason why you should always eat a male hairy crab. their pastes are absolutely phenomenal. seriously. those are just the best thing you can get from a crab.

ha! why is this crab so special? =D.

the birthday girl!

it is because it is cooked this way! they are burnt in the best amount, having a perfectly cooked crab and you know what? it is actually a little bit more tasty than having it just steamed! I dig for this one. and it is also one of the most special ways that I’ve seen of cooking the crab!

my hair almost got burnt T_T.

yumm.

okay so of course, we couldn’t just be eating crab for dinner. we had more. (but actually when I ate 2 crabs I felt quite full already).

stir fried Kings Grouper. I seldom eat fried stuff, but this is good.

mixed vegetables with loads and loads of mushrooms and asparagus.

and my all time favourite — Braised Beancurd with Pumpkin Sauce with Pork. <3. (no it is non-halal)

Steamed Kings Grouper with black bean paste. cut in small spoonsized pieces, very delicious. (note : King and Kings is different. I don’t know why either, you tell me. or, you can go there and ask the chef =P.)

not so sure about the pricings but since many of you asked before I asked the boss, he said it is around RM35 per person depending on what you order of course but normally it’s that price. =D. crabs around RM50 each (more or less. I couldn’t remember, but it surely does not exceed RM70) if I am not mistaken. =D. anyway, enjoy!

(in Shanghai, in the most popular hairy crab restaurant it costs around RM100+ for ONE. these are special, special crabs. and they are absolutely worth it. =P.)
