Hairy crab

Hairy crab aka big binding crab (大閘蟹) or Shanghai hairy crab (上海毛蟹)

I have heard lots abt hairy crab and how delicious the roe is... how famous a delicacy in Shanghai cuisine and is prized for the female crab's ovaries. Obviously I had my hopes too high. Last nite, was my first time to savor this delicacy...

I really had my hopes too high, the roe is good but not enough to satisfy me. I thought I will have the orgasmically good feel when I bite on it, but alas.... it was indeed disappointing plus the fact that the meat is not at all sweet... (I also learnt that they are half fresh water as they spend most of their life in fresh water, but they must return to the sea to breed).

Half way while eating, I told my mum and ed that the roe taste more like salted egg yolk. :) It made ed's day cos he laughed non stop when he thought of how many salted egg he can buy with $60 (I got it at a good rate for $20.90 each thru some lobang from Tung Lok).


haha... so much so for my hairy crab. I think I was more intrigue with the crab surviving in my fridge for 2days and the noises they made.

Gummy bears

I swear I am eating too many gummy bears in the office lately...

Too much sugar makes me bloat towards my end cycle....

I am feeling like a balloon now.

Or maybe I am getting fat....

anyway; I should really give it all away, but to who? Who can I trust my bears with? It has to be someone who truly appreciates them... I hope someone just rob my office and steals all these bears away from me. :D

Sentimental possessions

Somewhere along the packing, ed brought over a new handphone which he bought early this year but have yet to use. It sat in my room for 2 weeks until I couldn't take it but took it to work today to fiddle with it. It was a Moto (not sure which model, cos I'm not a moto fan for one). Anyway moto phones always feel good in the hands.

I think I am rather tech savvy (at least to ed). I like playing with new gadgets and exploring them. So when I see a new phone all alone feeling lonely for months without a owner, it bugs me.... I kept asking ed when he is going to transfer his numbers over so he can start using it... but he simply dun seems too interested in it. Beats me, I would be so excited that I'll use it immediately once I get any new "toy". hehe

I think ed is a sentimental person when it comes to material possessions. I guessed he rarely change new things because he tends to developed sentimental feelings for all his stuff. So much so, that his hp is almost 4-5years old. And even if he changes it, he wont trade in or sell it cos to him it has sentimental values.

hmmm... hehe... so cute... somehow I felt good knowing that fact .... :P *wink wink*

Mac Spicy

ta da.... say halo to mac spicy fingers.... !

Your must be wondering what the hell? well... whoever says milk can dissolve chilli hotness in fingers... I guessed we have sort of proven that half right. :P

My dearest ed was helping mum cut some chilli padi and I am not sure how he did it with the chilli brushing all over his fingers... It was so hot and lasted for hours...! he couldn't bath (cos he can’t wash his face and everywhere else with his spicy fingers...haha ;) Washed many times and it didn't helped so he decided to try soaking in milk, so we made do with strawberry milk. hehe... it helped a little... :)

He swears never to touch chilli again. :D

Bedtime story

I smell prata

A sudden craving for teh halia one hot nite... so off we went to search for a prata shop nearby... came upon this corner shop ard kembangan area. Not too bad but their teh halia is really too 'gingery' and in fact a little too spicy. Ed came back grumbling that his hair smell of prata and true enuff, it really does... hahahaha... I had a good laugh seeing that "quite irritated" face. He swears never to go back.

Oh he's serious cos he brought it up again today.

btw since when cleaning of coins is "gay-ish"... hahaha.... It didn’t cross my mind at all... :D
