If you know my family and I well enough, you'd know that we rarely eat seafood that is high in cholesterol ie. crabs, prawns, squids, oysters etc. However, on the rare occasion that we do we have tried the salted-egg fried crabs ('Hum Tan Hai'- in Cantonese) in 2 shops in Teluk Gong, Banting. The dish was nothing to shout about. In Diamond Bay where I work, a colleague of mine recommended a shop that served good salted-egg fried crabs but alas it was a big let-down for me. So i decided to go with my hubby ( who loves seafood just like his family) to another shop called 'Poh Loong' and lo and behold the crabs were to die for! In fact it was so good that we went there twice in a month! This picture was taken on 30/7/07 the 1st time we went we ate 1 kg of crabs between us and the 2nd time was in late August to celebrate hubby's birthday but this time we went with my housemate as well to reduce the high cholesterol intake guilt. I actually spent alot of time licking the shells and cracking open the crabshell to get at its delicious tasting meat as the gravy was cooked just right- not too dry or soggy. ( Actually I'm the kind of person who's too lazy and lacks the patience to eat prawns and crabs as it involves meticulously removing the shell and dear kind hubby would do this for me ! ) :p So, you can imagine how tasty this dish was to me! The popularity of this dish and the restaurant was also reflected by the number of people eating there ( people came by the car loads especially on weekends) and nearly every table ordered crab. If you love seafood, come on down to Diamond Bay (Teluk Intan @ Teluk Anson) and I'll bring you to savour a delicious seafood meal! :)
