The Boiling Crab

FOR TONIGHT'S DINNER WE WENT TO THE BOILING CRAB... A restaurant we have been talking about for more than a month now and finally got to go this evening...
Just fifteen minutes away from our house...
We thought we were the early birds... It was only around 5pm...


But the crowd was already there ... Waiting to be seated...
Getting prepared for the food...the table is laid with a white non greasy paper.. and I was told that we were to put the food on top of the table itself ...
Steamed rice...
Fresh fried calamari
Sweet Potatoes is our favourite..
Our food arrived within minutes..
Crayfish...
Fresh prawns ....
There are no plates served.. Everything is eaten and laid just like that on the table.. I don't fancy seeing the dishes served in plastic bags... Don't really understand why they are served like this, I guess it is kind of special to them.. No complaints about the food though, the seafood are very fresh and the total cost came to $41... Well, I guess once is good enough for me :)

  1. I like the sweet potato fries.. Been seeing a lot of it in Food Network.. Many cooks bake sweet potato fries instead of potato fries already..

  3. Good for seafood lovers this place. For me, I always avoid crab because so troublesome to peel. And if prawns come with shell, I also refuse to eat hah...hah...So if I come here, I only eat the Fried Calamari and Sweet Potatoes! So rugi one.

  6. hmmm.....something like the Banana leaf rice kot...only minus the banana leaf

    I wonder why they used plastic to serve the food. I thought over there they are very environmentally friendly.

  7. must be a place with good food at a good price hence already packed with ppl as early as 5pm!! hmm, so everything is served in plastics and you place your food on the table?? first thing, a gimmick.. second thing and the main reason, cost saving.. :)

  8. Crayfish? I thought you're in Sacramento? Have you moved to Louisiana??

    I thought they served in plastic bags like that in those southern states after they got hit by the hurricanes. Wonder why it becomes standard serving method now >.<
