At $25 for the king size crab (out of 3 sizes on sale), the crab was about 700-800 grams and full of creamy and rich roe. The meat was slightly overcooked but was sweet and fresh. Not to mention, the seasoning on the crab was salty and moreish. What I did not like was the crab wasn't cleaned fully on the insides so the dead man's fingers were all intact and if you are extra lucky like me, some mud left to prove it's a mud crab.
Credit goes to the man from Recent Runes who suggested dinner at this casual eatery. I may be taking too much liberty to speak on behalf of the Imp but I think we really enjoyed the night.
What's there not to like? We had a couple of bottles of white wines that paired beautifully with the crab, and drunken in Riedel glasses no less. Then dessert was an amalgamation of sweet things brought with love. There were four cakes bought by the imp from our local patisserie and she didn't just bring cakes but made sure we had proper metal utensils and printed napkins to boot! Only she will take all the trouble to do this. Thank you my dear friend. The cakes were surprisingly decent (I say that because we started with low expectations). Our favorite was definitely the matcha pound.
(my) Highlights of the night included the imp taking TWO bites of my macaron of rose and lychee. I know she doesn't have much of a sweet tooth so thank you for indulging! Ivan, whose mac standard is uber high, shot it down as expected :)
I also had the luxury of tasting my first malt whiskey liqueur that burned but yet went down smooth and had a subtle coconutty and sweet finish. Delicious!
The conversations were mostly entertaining and funny but some parts were solemn and taught me a few lessons, mainly, to always be myself and not compromise!
The night was decidedly fun when we adjourned to Fatty Weng a couple of doors down to have meal #2. Lovely "yau ma tei" and deep fried oyster. Hmmm.
I am on a diet to lose a couple of kilos but for a night like this, my diet can take a day off.
