ALMANAC OF THE UNCANNY

Before u get wierd thoughts in ur mind..im referring to the "Hairy-Crab" season..Was well informed by my client today,after an hour of laughing at me by d fact dat i got all confused on what she said..The conversation went something like dis :

Janet : You never tasted "hairy -crab" before?

KB : Hairy what??!

Janet : The hairy crab season start edi la..the crabs have hairs in their pincers.damn Nice weii..ask any chinese ppl sure they know..

KB :*Gave a dumb blank stare*

Janet :The crab meat are not eaten one larr..

KB :Ha?Den eat d "bulu" meh??

Which made her burst into laughter,tears and cramped cheeks frm laughing for almost d entire PT session..and resulted in more torturing session of training,muahaha..yeah i know im an ass sometimes.but it did'nt stop her entertained the whole time..aih,sometimes PT session can turn out into wierd situations..

Anyways,back to the crab part..here's wht i dug up about the HAIRY CRAB SEASON if u are as blur and unaware like me..

These hairy crabs are a moody lot. they mate around the october to january season and are possibly the most sex-starved during the november and december periods. why sex-starved? Go figure,haha..



1) The male crabs have the soft oozy-creamy kind of egg
2) The female crabs have the harder powder kind of egg
3) Some believe that you need to eat one male and one female to balance the yin and the yang. i say that must have been conjured up by people who were afraid that all the female crabs would be left unsold cos the male crabs are waaaaaaay tastier.
4) They are largest or at least have the most egg-filled shells during the november to december months (hence my conclusion about their sex-starved state,Horny Bastards!haha)
5) It can be eaten with either a sweet plum sauce or vinegar.. including fried rice and fried vegetable rolls. everything~!
6) Notice how the pincers are covered with black hair. this is apparently because they originate from cold waters .

Here's some pics of the delicacy..

Usually served fresh and alive before cooked
