Ever since we tried the Pepper Crab at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant (read post here), the 'chief' in Allan started to act up again.Just like I had mentioned in the Baked Cheese Potato post, when he is in love with a dish in a restaurant, he would try to figure out the ingredients and start his experiments in the kitchen.
This is his 4th attempt with Pepper Crab. Have NOT failed once! Awesome! I think his countless experience from cooking Chili Crabs gave him an upper hand with this dish.
The only adjustment needed every now and then depends on the size of the crab. Some are really huge, like this Pepper Crab dinner we had last week. The Claw was longer than my hand! *faint*
When the size is this big, a longer cooking time is definitely needed to make sure that the meat is fully cooked. Never want to eat medium-raw crab meat, ya? *wink*
This was the BIGGEST crab we had ever bought at the CHEAPEST price too. What a bargain! Usually we would have crabby-dinners when we have something to celebrate. We did not intend to eat crab that night, but after seeing the size and the price, we just had to 'force' ourselves to find a reason to celebrate! *laugh*

yum yum!! where u guys normally get your crab from?
Blessed mum,
either Sheng Siong or Giant.
We are still trying to find wet markets that sell 'live' crabs, but don't have.
So far have searched 4 wet markets, all don't have 'live' crabs.
*pout*
oic, i usually buy mine at the Bt Timah wet mkt.
Blessed mum,
Is it the one that has a hawker on the second floor?
And situated beside the Church and the petrol station??
YES! YES! YES! I usually get mine from the stall on the second row, an old uncle. he will help me choose nice firm ones.
Blessed mum,
Yippee!!!
Will go check it out.
Are they sold as 'Alive' or 'Dead'?
gagaga..of cos alive! u can't eat "dead" crab, my dear *wink*
Blessed mum,
really ah?!
Oh dear!
My MIL always scold us for buying 'Alive'.
She say, 'Sha-Shen' no good.
But we argued that its 'Fresher'.
She yelled "Bu Ke Yi ah!"
So she always buy those ALREADY CUT UP into pieces type.
From Supermarket.
From Wet Market.
o, those ok la..i thot u were referring to dead crab "unchopped"
but i was told that the meat will not as nice as cut and cook immediately.
that's why, i don't kill them beforehand. only kill/chopped when i'm abt to cook.
Blessed mum,
Same lor!!!
That's why always kena scolded by my MIL.
We ONLY eat ALIVE and KICKING crabs.
*laugh*
