Dinner - 28 July 2010

Simple dinner - Steamed Crabs and Steamed Otak-Otak.

Went to Puteri Mart wet market and got a pack of pre-packed Otak-Otak and 2 crabs.

The verdicts:
  • Doesn't have the homemade taste - lemongrass, chili, shallots and santan.
  • Has very strong taste of curry powder.
  • After a few bites, it's ok.
  • Lots of fish fillets in small pieces.
  • It's firm even though I steamed it a bit longer than I should.


One of our favorite dishes - Steamed Crabs. Hubby & I like eating fresh steamed crabs. Saw some crabs in market and decided to buy 2 which weight almost 1kg.

Method:
  • Clean the crabs and steamed on high heat for 10 minutes then turn off flame and simmer another 5 minutes.

The verdict:
  • Sweet and juicy!
  • Shell very tough. Meat firm.
  • Hubby used the crabs stock to cook his instant noodle :D
