Don't worry, I like open discussion over meaningless argument.

As I said, I can easily buy live king crab with cutting service in TnT, which I personally think the cutting job is the most difficult ...

yes.. you are right.. however, it seems that you are the first one talking about cooking at home, not about which restaurant to go ...

While the most of us prefer to eat in restaurant (cuz they think it's too much work to do at home), but besides me, another lyk (refer to #18) also had experience that cook at home before. No matter people think or had experience that cooking at home is to much panic, I just share my own experience that cooking at home is not that bad.
We can share, which restaurant is/are good and which is/are bad; also cooking at home is hard or easy to do. Isn't is more informative?

One time I bought a king crab from T&T, and they cut it for me.
Then I cook it right after I got home.....still...
Need to steam many times (because my "bo" is small and the plate is small).
I think altogether we had 5 plates of crab...
But during eating the crab, need to pay attention to the cooking time of the other dish. So it's kinda annoying ...

I can tell you that almost every restaurant will cheat on weight ga la, depend less or more ge je

I had King Crab at 皇都(besides London Drug on Westminster HWY). They were having a promotion $8.99/pounds. They said the King Crab weight 11pounds. We didn't agree as the Crab was so slim!, it seems weight around 7pounds! So I agree low-b  said the Restaurant outside really cheat on weight!!

Yes, it could be too much work and annoying.
However, I think it this way, even I could cook the whole crab (all pieces) all in once (that means my stove and wok and pan... are big enough to handle), I will still cook a few dishes separately. Why? Since I can't finish all the pieces (all dishes) fast enough, after two or three pieces the rest will probably get cool before I touch them anyways. I prefer to cook the portion that I am able to finish before they get cool, and then another dish and so on. Yeah, maybe just me.
