Crab Noodles 蟹麵膳 - Part II - Teh Dinner

So my crab dinner finally happened a while ago but since it wasn't the most exciting experience, I've been extremely lazy about this entry. In short, I would say that $400 is a little expensive in my opinion since the portions are small in my opinion (even if there were 8 courses). Also you need to keep in mind this cost is sans-drinks as they don't have a liquor license so it's byob (good news is 7-11 is just next door if you're not anal about your alcohol like me).

After you book the table, you will need to make a deposit of $100 per head to confirm several days before your booking. I went with a group of 7 and asked each person to deposit and then send me the slip so I could Whatsapp it to the owner so that did take a bit of effort to coordinate.

I came here for dinner because I liked the lunch which is a very casual Honkey cha can tang kind of place. I thought that at night time it would be really different... but I mean... I now realize that it's not going to be like Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night kind of place, even if you are charged at a fixed price of $400. Wow, I realize I make a lot of reference to Batman... I'm really not a Batman fan actually...

If you are curious and want to give it a try... why not? Here are some pics for your reference. Remember to call in advance to book and ask for the latest menu if you are going.

Prawn toast and fruit salad. I usually don't like fruit salad but this one was aight.



"Deviled" crab shell.

Watercress soup. Interesting but my friends found it too "starchy".

Some steamed fish. The owner raved about this one but I thought it was just ok.
Would like it more if the portion was larger.

Again... taste was good but portion too small!

Some greens.



This was the largest portion and it was for us to share. I guess this is their signature dish but I feel like it tasted the same as the one at lunch which is just under $100? I mean I get that there is a whole crab on the plate, but I'm not crazy about eating the actual crab so... yeah the lunch one will do for me. I also get that this is supposed to be the dish that fills you up, but then honestly with all the booze that I had I was drunk by the time this came and it was hard for me to work on the crab. If I was fuller earlier on I wouldn't be that drunk by the end of the night.......

Tofu pudding. It was aight but again it's the same as the one from lunch and still tastes too artificial to me.
