He did it

I mentioned in this post that my man bought some crabs on New Year day. Mud crabs and flower crabs.

We immediately cooked the mud crabs on that day. Just steamed them, they were super tasty!!

Then, middle of last month, we took out the flower crabs about 1kg from freezer and cooked it sweet & spicy. I wasn't particular fond of flower crabs in the past in the sense they were smaller, no meat at all. But these bought by hubby were nice. Fresh and meaty; shells were softer, easier to dig out the flesh.

My man did most of the cleaning and cooking. He had the whole kitchen for himself in making this dish. Ah, I felt blessed to have someone cook for me!! Lol.

Not a tedious recipe and the dish turned out great, tasty, and appetizing. Sweet and spicy egg gravy all over the flower crabs. And the flower crabs were meaty so they were good!!
