What a feast that was. King Crab never disappoints me. And I also did my part diligently, as a diner.This time there were five of us. Janice and TT couldn't make it, thank God. Well, when the size of the crab is fixed, you really don't want to share it with a whole lot of people. It's like the bloody triple constraints they taught you at PM 101: Time, Cost, and Scope. When one or two is fixed, the other one(s) will have to give.. to achieve equilibrium. Just kidding, they were just too busy.
We were hoping to get a 12-14 pounder, but the 'biggest' one they got was only 9.2 lbs. I guess it's closer to the season end and they'll just be getting smaller and smaller until next year. Well, that was only a little hiccup, and the fact that we have 2 fewer people in the table made up for it.
Anyway, the first course was the usual steamed crab legs with chopped garlic and oil. It was fantastic... without bothering to find a better word. Second course was a little adventurous for me. It was 'bay fone tong' style.. a little hot and spicy, but dried, with garlic and chilli pepper. It was ... also fantastic. Tasted like the deep fried one we tried last time, but only better.. coz of the chilli flavor that creates a contrasting flavor with the sweetness of the meat.
As we are chinese, we didn't order any wine. But a white wine or a cold beer would just make this perfecto.
Hail to King Crab!
