Day 18 - Crab Day

So today was a pretty chill day. Woke up and first thing was to go visit grandma again. She's been pretty tired lately, so didn't stay too long to let her nap and went to dim sum with my aunt Anna and DeeDee. The dim sum was epic awesome.

Aunt DeeDee and Anna.
Awesome suckling pig. Some of the best i've had.
I was so hungry and the food was so good I kinda forgot to take individual pictures.. my bad.

But yea dim sum was epic. we ordered a lot of food for 3 people and had to bring it back home.
Afterwards met up with Dee to do some shopping. We were SUPPOSED to go shopping for guy stuff (jacky's swim trunks and improve my fail sense of fashion) but we ended up spending a couple of hours in a pure girl mall looking for her swim shorts... God damn it.

Oh well there was some amusing stuff and she did take me to Hollywood centre where i think i'll get a custom suit done and she took me to the cell phone place too to look at stuff.
Noodles in a bag. This stuff was actually pretty awesome. And only 5 bucks!
Pillows that turn into blankets.

But the highlight of the night definitely was dinner at grandma's house. Aunt Anna bought me some "dai jap hai" (not sure what its called in english) but i think its called Hairy crab??? *pause*
Anyways... words honestly don't describe how awesome this was. But seriously Huang family hosuehold dinner was spectacular.
Raw

Cooked
MINE! The "goh" was absolutely amazing. Holy.

The rest was what we had for dinner. All home made.
Pineapple, ginger beef
Jelly fish and shredded chicken
Fish.
Chicken wings
My favourite. "lions head" or "see jee tao" its a shanghai-nese dish made Huang-family style. So awesome. I gotta learn how to make this one day.
remains of my crab.
Important note to all that try the crab. You need to drink "ginger soup" after.. cuz something something... I dont know why. JUST DO IT. or else you'll get sick.

So after all that eating, I just chilled with the fam for a bit. We watched a TVB show and good lord... I now remember why i hate this stuff. They told me Grandma thinks its garbage television and MAN do i agree. This stuff is like... The Incredible Hulk bad... or Heroes after the writers strike bad. Its like the lowest IQ stuff ever. I apologize to all that actually enjoy this stuff.

Anyways the Fob group went to macau today so i met up with them after they got back for some dessert.

Oh yea alec was there too but no photo. It was at honeymoon dessert nothing special but this is what i ordered.


But yea overall pretty low-key day. Wish i had a video of me eating the crab cause that in itself was a mission but it was totally worth it. Anyways off to bed now.

Later Days.

  2. lolol happy couple 4.....

    Chinese invented the concept of yin yang. Yang is the 'hot/yeet-hey' stuff like durian, mango, lychee, hotpot, and bbq. Yin is the opposite. Crab is considered yin and ginger helps to balance back!!

    I've never ate dai-jap-hai in my whole entire life!! :(
