Another Crab ( or Crap? ) Post

Crabs and Craps are "close relatives", aren't they??

The angry and unfriendly looking crab. Of course lah.. How to expect the crabs to be happy when both the claws/pinchers were being tied up?

Protruding eyes.. (Ini ketam mengamuk sampai mata pun terbeliak keluar). The crab was constantly staring at me, but who cares ? I tempted to tell the crab "Tengok apa tengok ?! Stare some more lah you! I'm not afraid of you. Later I will cook you and eat you, then you know.. " Anyway I didn't say that out aloud cos I scared the crabs might cry :P

See? I didn't bluff the crabs. I really went & cooked them. They were all being steamed nicely to perfection ;)

true mah.. hahaa.. i didn't bluff them :P Just that i didn't tell them straight in their faces that I gonna cook them ;) Crappy hoh?

ben,
aiyoyoh.. early morning say "ai si"? choy choy :P

it's only nice if the crab is fresh - the meat will be fresh, juicy and sweet :) We don't have to add any extra ingredients or flavouring when eating fresh seafood.

kenny,
drinking beer and eat crabs, talk craps and clap hands. very Syiok.

ah nel,
who cares.. anyway, this event happened last week and I took those photos last weekend, so far no nightmare also :P

I don't like cooking crabs at home 'cos I can't bear to put them into the hot water while they're still "sleeping"... :(

so I just eat 'em at restaurants, where I don't see them get cooked! :P

Most of the time I eat crabs at restaurant too, but occasionally I will buy some back home to "play with", especially the flower crabs for flower crabs curry. :P

Haha, u say kesian but then u laugh at them pulak :P Ini pura-pura kesian keh or betul-betul kesian? hahahha...

Winn herself also dunno what's going on.. She can't log in her account also. Dunno whether she writes to blogger already or not to clarify & rectify the problem.

Chen said...

mistipurple said...

wah, you got mental telepathy. can talk to Min Pin boh?

Chen said...

misti,
I do talk to my doggy.
He understands English.
He understands almost everything we talk :) I'm amazed at his capability.
I dunno where he learns the language. If we dowan him to know what we are talking about, I will speak in Malay language instead :P

Anonymous said...

i like [s]crap[/s]CRAB

mistipurple said...

amazing. no wonder they're men's (women's too!) best friend!
my friend used to tell me her dog senses when she is sad and just goes quietly and sit beside her, or puts his head on her lap.

Chen said...

dino,
ponder.. either u like craps & crabs?
or u like crabs but not craps? :P

misti,
yeah, dogs are very faithful companions. They will always be with us by our sides. Last time, when I was not feeling well, my dog can sense and he lied and slept next to me all the time :) He was concern and worried when I cough (I can see from his facial expression). So sweet of him :)

izso said...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLL

izso said...

And you eat more crab than I do for the entire year!

L B said...

Have all those crabs ever come back to haunt you yet?

ah nel said...

ah nel said...

Anonymous said...

ewwwwwwwww

pls take the pic with the protruding eyes away from meeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~

it reminds me of all those crabs i've ever eaten in my whole life...

YEARGHHHH

Chen said...

izso,
hah? are u sure?
There are only 3 crabs involved. If u went out for one seafood meal with crabs on the menu, sure u can beat the "record", unless u totally didn't touch crabs this year ;)

LB,
They all behaved very well :D
For the past one week, no nightmares And I don't dream of crabs either ;)

ah nel,
I don't do that everyday too, so it's definitely not equal. Wrong equation. Did u take up physics or maths in the past? :)

Chen said...

ah nel,
wah.. got sambungan summore pulak..

yeah, the popiah is delicious :)
it's a bit sweet but i love the crunch peanut chunks inside the popiah. If your friend doesn't like the sweetness, then don't dip so much sauce loh :D

anon,
Don't worry, the crabs won't haunt u, it's all in the mind :)
Don't think about it and u will be fine :)

MNG said...

I love crabs too, no matter how it's cooked....

initially I wanted to answer..
"crab can run meh?
they can't even walk properly..
before they able to run, we will catch them and cook them liao..." :P

but then pink cotton cakap…
"green crab is NOT MASAK.
so green crab will win 'x'
red crab is the crab yang SUDAH KENA MASAK,
sudah masak liao how to run leh?" :P

ah nel,
as long as u know how to count $$$ can liao..
don’t salah kira $$$  this is the most important thing :P
LOL

or2ng3s said...

ah nel said...

anader ten years you can wait kar or maybe 20 years u can sabar o not? ;P

MNG said...

Aiyoh.....I'm hungry liaw......I can never resist seafood boh..

Just had crabs last saturday and that was the 1st time I had crabs (not softshelled hah) deepfried and cooked with sambal....quite nice except that it was a bit oily and the flesh became harden because of the deepfrying.... And it was cheap some more...Only RM15 per kg....

Those who wants to try esp RedSponge & 13th Panda, u can go to the restaurant next to Dua Puluh Sen Supermarket 3rd mile.....Heard the offer price only valid for limited period only....

*saliva drooling on my workstation....better take some of the pinky pills to stop the saliva*

Chen said...

SA,
I steamed the crabs without any seasoning :)
Since the crabs were fresh, the flesh is very tasty :D

ah nel,
hahha, I’m not sitting here doing nothing just to wait for that.
Life still goes on :)
When the days come, we will see :D

papercrazy,
Seafood is so delicious :)
Kuching has wide range of cheap & delicious seafood ;)
The price for the same item is much more expensive in Penang.

Wah.. RM 15 per kilo? So cheappp…
Here the price for the raw uncooked crabs is almost double that amount..

ah nel said...

i mean you doing all those saving life but u will wait patiently to see my future kar???hehe

my future no interesting eh...i can predict... ;)

Wayne said...

Eh don't eat Sri Lanka CRAB!
cuz the crab was fed by Dead bodies.

In sri lanka, they are poor and no place to bury the corpse so they throw nearby seaside or into the sea to fed of the crabs.

now see u dare eat BIG crabs or not?

Chen said...

ah nel,
Hhahha, what I mean is... life still goes on while waiting mah. No harm seeing what's going on while we still continue on with our lives :D

wayne,
talking about dead bodies, it all depends on how you view it.. Just like although cockles and fresh water fishes eat shit, but most of us still consume them :)

Chen said...

SA,
hahahaa, I didn’t notice that :P
LOL

The claw bands ah?
itu ah..
*ahem*

Vagabonder said...

;-)) hehehe they look as cute as tasty when they were cooked

Chen said...

thao,
hahhaha.. the cooked ones looks better.. the colour is nicer :D
