Nothing personal. But I wonder, isn't cooking a king crab could be very easy to do? The main thing is to cook a live crab instead of a already-dead one. Then the simplest way is to put some fresh gar ...

Yes, I just tried yi yuen last week. For the leg, they have steam and garlic, 2 different way for the legs (Personally, I like it steam). For the body, they do a "dry curry", which is better than de ...

so where is yi yuen ??
how many people can a king crab meal serve ??
原帖由 rainbow-davie 於 2009-3-3 10:24 發表
hard to cook at home la.
1) crab too large, and too hard to cut. u don't want to hurt yourself.
2) it needs big wok
3) requires big fire.
otherwise, just waste of money to cook at home.

Last summer I went to this restaurant for its famous 'double-boiled soup'. Everything was fine until I finished visiting its washroom. When I opened the door to go out I saw a tiny creature dash out ...

It might not as easy as what you think:
1. King Crab under 10# are not that good
2. Crab and lobster must be kill and cook immediately, definitely not killed by the fish monger because all the val ...

Not that your comment is not valid. But then, there should be no live lobsters and crabs sold in any of the markets/supermarkets for home users?

well. what he mean, and what i mean are.. you can still do it.. You can still buy it and cook whatever way you like.
I just sya that this is not convinient & good for home cooking. too troublesome. ...

Mr. Ultraman, my friend
I do not have desire to argue, just to share my POV here.
You would always buy live lobsters and crabs and kill them yourself, I suppose.
When T & T first open, they offered fr ...

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 ...

Need to steam many times (because my "bo" is small and the plate is small).

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) ...

But they have loyal customers who do not mind paying a little more

The issue is about cheating on weight, any Chinese restaurant can cook king crab easily, but
not cheating is very rare.

Sounds like you have had a re-incarnated king crab, hope you did not
get intoxicated
So I was wrong, they can really screw up your king crab big time.

咁我就覺得, 唔呃你既, 就一定每味加錢. 唔係酒樓賺咩呀. 每隻蟹來價9蚊左右, 就算來價6,7蚊, 照正價賣, 真係燈油火蠟蝕俾你咩. 只要呃得唔過份, (呃兩三磅就ok), 唔好俾d死蟹黎就算好架啦. ...

Since when CHEATING CUSTOMERS becomes legitimate and acceptable in Canada?
I know it is common practice in Hong Kong , they weigh the water along with live fish and charge you the same, but in Cana ...
