It has been more than a year since I last visited this seafood joint. Some new colleagues from Europe would like to try it so we went there again.
The sequence they brought out the food is healthy. Wondering why? The first dish that came was a vegetable dish. It is said that vegetables are easy to digest, but the meats are not. If you eat meat first, vegetables later, the vegetable will just get stuck in your stomach and produce gas. If you vegetables first, as they are easy to digest by the stomach, they will not get stuck. And your stomach can get plenty of time to digest the meat later.
The second dish was salt and pepper prawn. We ordered the medium size, which means you will have 7 pieces of prawn, for $30. The prawns are good. Deep fried till crispy outside, even the shell became crispy and you could eat it too. The meat inside was still tender. This is the kind of prawn I like very much.
Coming to Melben, crab bee hoon is a must-eat item. The soup was real soup cooked with the crap. I think they didn't put milk in the soup to make it look more milky, as I didn't sense the taste of cow milk. The soup is thick, and a strong fragrance of crab meat. The crab meat itself was very fresh, firm but tender. Good quality stuff! Thumb's up!
Another must-eat dish here is the butter crab. It is still very good, but the butter taste is less strong now. The crab meat, as usual, is firm and tender. Not just the clamp is good, the body, which is quite coarse usually, is also tender and firm too!
We ordered the chili crab too, but before I could snap a picture, it was already gone.
They have three 'types' of crab, in terms of weight. The SMALL is ~1kg/each, for $68/kg. The MEDIUM is 2 crabs for 1.5kg. I think this should be SMALL. Then the BIG ones are ~2kg/each. For 6 people, we ordered 3 1kg crabs, plus a medium-sized prawn dish, and medium-sized vegetable dish, plus drinks (both beer and soft drinks), the bill came up to a total of $346. That's a pretty decent dinner with very good quality crabs.
Would go there more often, if there is no concerns for cholesterol. :-)
