<生猛海鲜篇> or "The Live and Dangerous Seafood Post"

Ages ago, when Mas Selamat was still an inmate of the Whitley Road Detention Centre, I toyed with the idea of starting a food blog. In the lead up to that, I fiddled with a few test food blog posts which you can find on the sidebar under the header Fatty's Ho Gai Xiao. Then I saw the ieat food blog. Deep down inside, I know there isn't any way my food blog can be better than his. It's like walking out of the plastic surgeon having artificially amped up your boobs from an A to C, only to see a natural D cupper walking past you. Since then I seldom blogged about food except the occasional post like the maiden trip to Aston and sampling the humongous ieatsuperburger.

But I must really blog about this. Over the weekend, a group of ex-Worse Local Bank employees and myself went to this place called House of Crabs in the Ang Mo Kio area for a meal of (drum rolls...) crabs. I admit that I often find it difficult to understand Singaporeans' soft spots for the expensive crustacean . However the meal at House of Crabs turn me into a believer! Hallelujah!

The average Chilli Crab, with a pincer that Mike Tyson would be proud of.

The pincer, which is almost half of my big round face.

The star of the show, the black pepper crabs, resting on a miserable piece of lettuce. The black pepper sauce was so delicious that one of us ordered a bowl of white rice just to go with it.

Look at the size of this pincer!

Help! The giant pincer is having a go at my throat!!


Damn, looking at those pictures is making me hungry again.
