It’s a wonderfull vegetable to eat raw or cooked, caramelized… a real wonder.

You should try with some very small “crevettes grises”, it’s very small shrimps mixed with mayonnaise, coriander leaves and some lemon juice. A real wonder !

But then we have people over for dinner, we have the air-conditioning on for the whole house, so it’s ‘air tight’ and the food smell lingers. We will switch on our “plasma clusters air purifier machine” when people are around. When they leave, it will be spraying the house with disinfectant! haha.. a bit kiasu right? Then we will be mopping the floor. Children will spill food and drinks, hide food anywhere and everywhere!

I better stop. People will think I am mad. Unless most people here also do the same. haha…

Precious Pea – I am not sure about cinnamon and clove. ;)

Tummythoz – yep, the filling is actually salad.

Pablopabla – thanks for your suggestion but aiyo, where can I find charcoal?

Claude – the French comment you left for me sounds very good, anyway, thank you so much, you are always so sweet!

Claire Chen – thank you and welcome! Do pop in more. :)

Shilpa – yes, it has a slight bitter edge, that’s why I added some sugar to the filling, which neutralize the bitter edge, so it was not bad. Plus the artificial crab meat is also sweet, so I like them. Thanks for correcting me, I can never figure out how to spell Hors d’oeuvres!!!!!!! ;)

WMW – I no longer takut liao! :)

Toni – I usually do not mind the smell, come on, that’s that smell I grew up with, but during winter, since the windows are all sealed, the ventilation in the house is bad and the belacan, curry, spices smell all “meresap” into the carpet, etc. And there is this pocket of air that traps in my staircase. Anyway, you just gave me an idea, I am going to boil a big pot of pandan water to infuse my house with its aroma. ;)

Simcooks – I sometimes use Lysol too, but I hate the artificial fragrance. OK ok, I confess, I am impossible. :P

Cheese with a spoon – Actually that incident amused me more than anything else…I thought it was really really funny. I wasn’t offended or anything.

Anyway, thanks for your fantabulous crab recipe. I will definitely make it. Reading through the ingredients and cooking method, I am 101% positive that it will rock!

Claude – again, thanks for trying my recipe. You are a doll! :)

Jackon – yes, please.

Unka – yep go figure. ;)

Cheers
Claude

By the way, Rasa Malaysia, I left my mum’s crab recipe as a comment under your chili crab post. A bit malu because it did turn out to be very long, but I hope you’ll try out the recipe the next time you see a special offer on crabs :-) .
