HAIRY CRAB
 Iwc Aquastic Hairy Crab
E-0-8, Pusat Perdagangan Kuchai, 
Jalan 1/127, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama, 
58200 Kuala Lumpur.





Yangcheng lake is famous for their hairy crabs. In autumn, when the female crabs are full of roe, is the time when the locals savour this delicacy. Now, this company imports crabs from this place to supply local restaurants, and they actually cook some of it for walk-in customers too!



They have crabs of various sizes, and are priced from RM20.00 onwards per crab. This establishment claims to have stocks imported daily from it's source. They are currently having a promotion. But 5 crabs, get 1 free. So for RM100.00 we got 6 crabs, with a cup of ginger honey chinese tea for each of us. 




These were the crabs that were served to us. All tied up, they looked like oversized spiders! But there was nothing spidery about eating them! Hell, there's even a set of tools for you to use!




This tools are there to make sure you get all the crabby goodness out of each crab, and when i say goodness, it's really good!



Imagine what a chicken cube is like. One small cube will give you a taste of chicken many times it's size. These crabs are just like that. Small in size, but huge on flavour! God is really fair in this case. If only there was a crab the size of a Sri Lankan mud crab with the flavour intensity of one of there!



I would love to eat these ugly little monsters every day, but the amount of work it takes to get the meat out of the crabs really puts me off, so for all you scientists out there, here's a challenge! Try to genetically modify a crab, big as a Sri Lankan mud crab, with the intense flavour and taste of these tiny hairy crabs and I'm sure you will have a winner on your hands!
