香辣蟹


Our shenzhen staff decided to have a mini 'welcome back' dinner for me and wj! So they suggested to have dinner at a restaurant called 传统香辣蟹, somewhere near 中信 shopping mall. It was a very eye-catching restaurant with many columns of red lanterns hanging vertically downwards on the front. Many people were already waiting outside on red stools when we got there.
We ordered 2 crabs plus 500g of prawns to go with it (weird rite). The way it was cooked was simply fried some dried chilli with spices together with the crabs and prawns. There were many spices judging from the sediments underneath the enormously thick red oil...looks like peppercorns, cloves, peanuts, garlic, ginger and some too charred to be distinguished! hahhaa...And it comes in a silver basin, like back in those days, maybe our great grandmas use them to watch vegetables or something.
On top of them we ordered mudskippers! (even weirder, and they come in finger bite sizes!) kangkong, 菠萝饼,葱油饼,hotplate potato slices (yes quite funny here, back in singapore, it's mostly hotplate tofu) and some other small appetisers which i have forgotten. >_<
Anyway, it was delicious!
