Notebook remains elusive due to some hiccups...Originally posted by the Bear:new notebook already?
and how do we get to kukup?
Kukup... to get there, you can either take a ferry from Changi Ferry Terminal or take an hour-long bus trip. It's a small kelong village with a few Chinese-owned seafood restaurants. Very very cheap! These restaurants are built on stilts out on the sea and when you look out, you can see crab cages sometimes.
Let me get details ironed out... KIV mid-May... before I fly to my beach resort. -
If you drive there, it is very crowded around 3-4pm..the parking is non-existent and you have to walk..that said..eating on stilts is very enjoyable.Originally posted by Rhonda:Notebook remains elusive due to some hiccups...

They had a huge plate of fresh prawns, large fish, crabs, wild vegetables and another dish (forgot what) 4 people....and the total price came up only RM$56!!!! -
heres a couple of suggestions....Originally posted by the Bear:nah.. i'm not.. but i stop short at married and attached ones
back to crabs...
uhh.. does anyone know where to get good and cheapo ones? coz if not, looks like the Malaysian way is the way to go
Carlton Hotel used to have a Seafood Buffet every Sunday night for abt $30+++ per pax. Spread included all you can eat lobster, oysters, flower crabs, sri lanka crabs, mussles, bamboo clams, yabbies, prawns, scallops and whatever was fresh and available that day. I havent been in a while so not sure if they have it still but it was well worth it if you are a true seafood lover.
Alternatively catch your own crabs and have it cooked on the spot right away!! Pasir ris pond has re-opened and they have two new small ponds for crab catching!!! I went for prawn catching last weekend and saw some people trying it out..they did catch quite a basket full..it looks like great fun!! if luck is on your side, you may catch loads full. Charges are $13 per hour- pay for three hours and get the third hour free. The tze char stall will cook it for you any which way you like for $10. -
I just tried this chillie crab recipe last night (its Violet Oons) and it was scrumptious!! Just like Long Beach's chillie crabs!!
Sauce:
1 cup water
5 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar to taste
1 1/2 tablespoon corn flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Prawns:
1lb large crabs cleaned and quartered(or prawns, crayfisf, lobster...all good!!)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
8 fresh chillies, roughly chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon lime juice or lemon juice
Make sauce by whisking together all ingredients.
Heat oil, add garlic, stir fry for 1 min. Add chillies and stir fry another 1 min
Add crabs and stir fry till shells turn slightly pink/red.
Add the sauce and fry till shell are red. Break the egg and using a fork streak through the egg through the sauce. Simmer for few seconds and remove. Add in lime or lemon juice.(dont skip this part...its what makes it authentic!)
Enjoy your crabs with deep fried man tou!!! -

can only offer advise on catching prawns...but then, I'm not the most patient of people..friends say I have zero patience and I dont like to be disturbed when I'm concentrating on catching my own prawns....so I think I wouldnt make a good teacher at all!
