Woohoo! Crabs are back at the Neighborhood Loatian grocery store in the "hood" of Olathe! Actually, John (the owner) has been selling crabs for a while already, its just that its been awhile since we made the 10 minute drive to his store to pick them up. So yesterday we picked up about six of some angry fighting crabs to "invite" for a nice dinner. 15 minutes after coming home, I was in the backyard introducing them to my Chinese Cleaver & chopping board. There's no better way of guaranteeing freshness than that!
In no time, our "little buddies" were settled comfortably on our dining table with spiced with Yeesin's special homemade Chilli Crab recipe! Cholestorol levels aside, we had a blast! Here's a quick before/after shot. It sure makes weekdays easier to go through when you have GREAT food to look forward to!

Yum. The cooking looks GREAT! Tell Yee Sin to post her recipe here so we can all try and make it..:)
Mmmmmm....my tummy's growling...
Your chili crab reminded me of dipping white toast in the leftover chili sauce...! Can't eat the crab, but cheat on the sauce.
So you just chopped them up alive? or do you have to boil them in hot water like lobster
I can't see Tze chopping live crabs... Yeah, ask YS to post the recipe online. Tze, fedex some (cutup) ones to me..
Preparing them alive is the only way to make sure they are fresh! Boiling them in hot water is for sissies lah! Nothing's more exciting than trying to avoid getting your fingers pinched by your dinner. :)
...slurp... drool...... ^^
