My Chilli Crab..

Again my dad bought fresh seafood for me..and this time he got myself "mr crabby" 2 pieces one for me and one for hubby.

Definitely i don't eat those because i am allergic to seafood (excluding fish ya) .kesian tak??

so my mom said ' u need to cook this quickly, never let it too long in the freeze because the sweetness and the taste of the crab will be gone.

abah gave it on sunday, so today, i have the chance to cook..not that long la kan ?????

Utterly for the whole weekend, i did not enter the kitchen at all..syndrome "malas" melanda so today i've decided to cook something fancy for my husband

our weekend full of activity, saturday balik kampung, sunday went to segamat and monday to Putrajaya, again..

hectic and busy like a bee..ooh by the way back to my crab, i've decided to make those chilli thingy rather than masak lemak or masak kuali..afraid that tak jadi nanti..membazir je kan?

first time cleaning the crab...ya i have to google it on "how to clean your crab"..honestly there are blogs or site do provide these steps including the photo..easy right..senang je kan? masak pun google je..any recipe..u name it :)

bersemangat sungguh even though i tak makan pun ketam hehe..menyiang pun my hand dah itchy sampi ke badan ..bad hah!!! allergic dari kecil lagi.rugi kan tak dapat makan all those seafood..if kat oversea ni mahal ..nak dapat fresh pun susah..but for me dah ada depan mata tak dapat nak makan la pulak kan???
