Cheap crab. A revisit.

Remember the old review I did on cheap crabs at Yat Yeh Hing? My parents and me were pondering what to have for dinner when suddenly the thought struck us. Crabs! So off we went to Yat Yeh Hing.

And yes, the meat crabs were still priced at RM18 per KG.

Fried 'choy tam'

Fried rice, portion for 2

The main dish. 2 KGs of (steamed) crab!

Notice the delicious flesh?

Crab innards. A delicacy for some.

If you noticed, the order this time around is almost the same as the previous one. However, the veggies seemed to have decreased in size (but not in price). The fried rice on the other hand has improved tremendously (no more burnt rice) earning thumbs up all around.

As we got a not-so-fresh crab during our last visit, we decided to prevent a similar occurrence by ordering steamed crabs this time. The restaurant can't simply 'slip in' a not-so-fresh crab by 'accident' into a steamed crab dish as it would be immediately detected. So all we got were 2 KGs of fresh steamed meat crabs, which adds up to 4 and a half crabs. And it was great! The steamed egg white plus rice wine sauce did not mask the crab's flavour, but enhanced it. Truly we enjoyed this dish the most.

Only scraps were left...

Our experience this time around proved to be more enjoyable than the last visit. The score this time around? 8/10! I would recommend the steamed crab over other cooking styles though. But at RM18 per KG you can definitely afford to indulge yourselves and try all kinds of cooking styles.

So this is to be the last post of 2007. It has been a good year. But as always I hope 2008 will be better. Better in every way for all of us. Here's to a wonderful year ahead! =D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
MANY BLESSINGS FOR 2008!
