For entertainment’s sake
Aiyah. I was thinking of saying fuck it all, but then some auntie (or uncle, I dunno) said that I was a bad influence on her kid, so I decided to take some photos of Eric torturing some crabs instead.
Damn. Did I just say the four-letter word again? Sorry sorry! I keep forgetting that immature people read this blog too. But anyway. I eat crabs! I love crabs! Mudcrabs especially. Damn hard to prepare… but fortunately I don't have to lift a finger when it comes to the preparation.
This is the naughty crab that kept on scrambling away when Eric tried to brush its body.
Mudcrabs are terribly dirty, so you've to use an old toothbrush to brush the dirt away. I took a silent video of Eric cleaning the crabs and dumping them into the boiling water. Then I took off the video after I saw that 'Eh afturds PETA come after you then you know' comment. Now let me tell you this: the crabs were fresh when they went into the wok. Then they DIED before I ate them. I don't know crab language to know whether they did a 'lemme out lemme out' dance in the pot. But scroll down and please tell me which part of the crab looks alive to you?
Nevermind. Here's the video again, all because Eric is a real sweetie for cooking for me!
Thanks to YouTube for the video hosting!
This is what the crabs look like after they're boiled. Yummy!
This is what they serve at Marie France Bodyline and this makes you slim! (I chopped the garlic, to be drizzled with soya sauce and used as a dip.)
Sometimes, they add some sort of blackened liquid to the concoction so that you get out of the slimming centre looking like Christy Chung.
There's Eric and my mother de-clawing the crabs for the scrumptious meal. Oh, BTW, I told Mum about the blog, showed her the papers and showed her the letter from the Auntie, and you know what Mum said?
'You sure you still a virgin ah?'
Aiyoh. Which part of me looked devirginized to you?
Mothers. But anyway. She thought the whole blogging concept was fantastic and she loved the Bedtime Stories. Which means, yay yay, I can still go on being verbally explicit!
Here are the claws, banged and castrated. Haha. Ready to be eaten.
And this! Ooh! High in cholestrol, but VERY VERY YUMMY!
Crabs are my favourite seafood. Absolutely!
Now you know what you can belanja me to everytime you want to, erm, pick me up and take me out for dinner.

June 26th, 2005 at 5:44 pm
Haha.. cool mum!
And u are making me hungrwee..
June 26th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
I hope that crab is dead by the time you eat it.
If not, PETA gonna be your best friend.
June 26th, 2005 at 6:42 pm
Your mom is cool. Really.
I love crabs. Had mudcrabs in KK, but they weren’t properly cleaned. But they tasted heavenly.
June 26th, 2005 at 6:52 pm

Hey there, I love your blog! I think its awesome. Haha, screw that auntie/uncle lar.
Crabs rule.
June 26th, 2005 at 8:12 pm
Urrggh! Still in office beh tahan reading that. Stomach butterfly.
June 26th, 2005 at 8:25 pm
is that the way they clean those crabs at restaurant? i thought they chop them into half straight away n then only wash it.
June 26th, 2005 at 8:25 pm
Hmm, crabs look pretty easy to prepare at the look of the video. Hmm..you should create new category called Mr.Minishorts Kitchen. LoL!:mrgreen:
As for which part devirginized, you admitted your lips aren’t virgins anymore.:roll:LOL!
June 26th, 2005 at 9:37 pm
Know this Kylie Kwong? She refrigerates live crabs, etc before boiling them. Humane way, she says. Screw that. Killing and eating an animal is already “inhumane”. Got over that hump long ago. Good for you, boiling it alive. Yess… boils it alive, squirming, kicking… .
Ooh, better stop now.
BTW PETA are eco-terrorists. Spread the word.
June 26th, 2005 at 9:45 pm
Mmmmm………Crabs…(not the disease…hahahaha!)
June 26th, 2005 at 10:25 pm
If you kill them first, the meat will all already rot away…:neutral:
June 26th, 2005 at 10:39 pm
maybe she knows a long time ago but was just waiting for you to tell her? moms are…magical!
they know but yet “char sore sake khai pay” anyway, glad that your mom took it well and is so supportive of you! 
oooo! now this post will definitely work up my appetite for crabs – just right for sunday’s dinner. going to celebrate a friend’s birthday – yay!!!
come sban, chooks. cheese crabs, yum!
June 26th, 2005 at 11:28 pm
Hm… seems nice.
Why everyone must cucuk the crab’s @$$hole first before cooking ah?
June 27th, 2005 at 12:45 am
I wish I knew how to prepare a crabby meal for my girlf. Damn.
June 27th, 2005 at 1:03 am
that’s not cooking. that’s boiling crabs. lol ok ok mr minishorts is damn sweet. lucky woman!
June 27th, 2005 at 2:01 am
immature ppl read this blog, that is absolutely correct. Seriously you must be one of the worst bloggers around. I read your last entry regarding to someone sent you a politely writen letter and hoping that you will have a little self respect or self censorship, but it seems like you are beyond help and frankly I don’t understand why would StarTwo listed you as one of the popular blog.
I am pretty sure you don’t have any children of your own and you won’t understand what is it like to protect them. From the look of it I don’t think you will ever understand and hence I hope you will never have your own children or else they are going to suffer, as you will be the worst mother ever.
Your writing is crap, your personality is crap, your boyfriend is crap and your blog is definately crap. I guess that explains why you love to eat crab.
get a life, whore.
June 27th, 2005 at 2:44 am
LOL @ parents. look who doesnt have a life. if you have the balls to back up your cock and bull, do publish your phone number, full name, home address as well as a picture of yuor ugly mug. at least minishorts has the balls to show her comel face online, while you conveniently hide behind that veli of anonomity. bah. hypocrites.
June 27th, 2005 at 3:01 am
geez what ever happened to freedom of speech?
It’s your duty as a parent to monitor your children’s internet activities and it is not the responsibility of complete strangers to watch their foul mouths. Besides, if your children want profanities, minishorts is definitely not the only place to learn them.
Oh, and if you’re a parent, what is this about calling people a whore and all? Look who’s the hypocrite here.
June 27th, 2005 at 3:15 am
Eee to crab videos, because I am allergic to them. Go watch Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy! (Yes that is related to crabs.)
June 27th, 2005 at 4:38 am
way to go minishorts. i love your attitude. it is just like mine. haha =) and to wooties: i agree. *nod**nod*
June 27th, 2005 at 6:46 am
I would have thought that the ‘correct’ way was to kill and to chop the crabs up prior to cooking?
parents: I have no idea on how you would connect between crabs and ‘crap’. Its pretty expensive crap, you know? Unless you’re referring to the other type of crab.
June 27th, 2005 at 7:39 am
Is it possible to ban rascals on this blog, like what Jeff Ooi did?
I really think that some people are very disrespectful to the host (I mean @parent)
and thier comments are grotesque eyesore to this blog.
Block thier IPs once and for all.
Do not let them take advantage over you and rob your freedom of speech.

June 27th, 2005 at 7:51 am
Ban all those crappers out there – don’t like it just don’t read ! Minishorts banzai !!
June 27th, 2005 at 8:35 am
I personally don’t like people like that poster “Parents”
He/She So nallow minded one…… As if a lot of kids in this world read blogs and don’t know how to identify jokes from facts…
BTW, is that “Cucuk crab’s @$$hole” thing a joke?
June 27th, 2005 at 8:37 am
Bleh, now I’m hungry too. There was an article bout the new Bangsar Seafood Garden Village (damned long name!) at One Bangsar… their butter crabs looked fantastic!
Haven’t been there myself, but it looks like it’s worth checking out.
June 27th, 2005 at 8:51 am
YeaY! Your mum is WAY COOL!
I WANT CRABS TOO!
June 27th, 2005 at 8:58 am
eyeris: hehehe… crabs for dinner the next time we meet up? on you of course!
julee: yup. my mum is cool.
_earth: of course its dead by the time i eat it. does it look ALIVE to you? blah.
iblogme: yeah the mud sometimes gets hard to clean off. need a brush to brush them clean before you boil them alive.
life_feel: i posted them via youtube.
carl: *i feel so loved*
amber: no way man. why should i want to screw an uncle or an auntie?
joe: is the butterfly still fluttering around? get some sandwiches.
skyjuice: well, they cook them this way in some restaurants. not in KL definitely. but you can get this where the port or the sea is nearby. try klang, ask for baked mud crabs.
danny: when did i say that about my lips? cannot recall.
sotong: they are extreme. meat-eaters are sinners anyway. btw, vegetables also cry out in fear.
nick: hehehhe nyek nyek.
n305er: yup. if you kill the crab first (i.e. cucuk the hole first), the flesh will just disintegrate and the crab tastes horrible.
FeR: seremban? when i go you take leave yeah? (eric says there got nice hakka mee)
w00ties: i think parents’ real name is joyce.
jolene: thanks but its ok. i can live with flak.
albert: nick says jsut read the book will do woh.
simyin: hahah lots of ppl have this attitude. some parents just cannot accept this.
elb: that’s not ‘the correct way’. chopping crabs up is A WAY. but where i come from (my mother comes from a fishing town), crabs are best cooked this way.
baggypants: kenot. must prepare place for eric also.
mr kiasi: no need to cucuk first. if you cucuk the hole first that’s for FRYING crabs.
narrowband: eh. watch the video. NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO PREPARE THEM!
kim: aiyah. at least he tried
dinghy: so I heard. a friend’s going to get married there too. one day one try.
fs: my mummy is so cool leh. she says its ok to curse because its a blog, and well, i work in a very stress-filled environment. CAN CURSE ALL I WANT. as long as i don’t overdo it lah (besides, i also don’t curse as much as you what).
and finally.
parents (whose real name is JOYCE) : why does the star say i’m popular? ARE YOU BLIND ARRR? and also yeah, I AM NOT A MOTHER, and btw, i hope your kids didn’t see you cursing me as a whore because that is so *FUCKING* embarassing.
June 27th, 2005 at 9:19 am
OK lah. so long he is not a big eater
June 27th, 2005 at 9:30 am
Whoa.. I love crabs too!
Can I come ur house for makan?
June 27th, 2005 at 10:27 am
Heh. You mom would be way cooler if she asked Eric that instead. “My daughter still virgin ah?” Kakakakaaa… the guy will shit bricks.
June 27th, 2005 at 6:27 pm
Oh nolah, nothing as graphic as the movie as far as cute crabs go.
June 27th, 2005 at 6:46 pm
i didn’t take my lunch today…:cry:
saw ur crab makes me damn hungry now!!
June 27th, 2005 at 11:40 pm
eh, PETA is not an eco-terrorist. PETA is just an animal rights nuts.
But they are cool, from far at least.
June 28th, 2005 at 10:40 am
rofl @ fuckstress.
‘i want crabs’ => that sounds so wrong on many levels.
June 29th, 2005 at 9:03 am
eee..everybody sounds so crabby, gratitude shd be given to eric for cannabalizing those not-so-gentle-looking crabs…and btw, wats wrong with u (parents @ joyce)lah? u’ve got any problem with ppl expressing themselves? well, u’re not too bad yourself, cursing ppl subconciously..HALO!!! get a life puhleeeezzzzz….

[...] Check out this other Singaporean’s blog too. He has a step-by-step pictorial, as well as a video, on how to kill a crab (ehh.. I think it’s a bit inhumane lor) but pretty entertaining. Awww… I miss Singapore’s huge mudcrabs! (The Sri Lanka ones are the best!!) [...]
November 16th, 2005 at 1:33 pm
[...] Eons ago I posted a personal photo log about how Eric cooked crabs for dinner. Here. [...]

[...] 1) I’m forever a kid back at the kampong. No one treats me like I’m over 20 at all, and I get to play tag with the children as if I were 12 again. 2) The angpaus! I’ve got 13 aunties and uncles on my Mum’s side. It’s going to be a hoot! 3) The food… Kota Bahru has the best Thai food selection in Malaysia, ever! Plus the nasi kukus, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu and laksam are cheap and authentic. And my aunt cooks the best chilli crabs ever! My other aunt makes gorgeous tangkuey chicken and my mom makes the best stewed pork trotter in the world. 4) The fireworks and firecrackers… he he he… my grandmother’s house is so far away from town and most houses, we won’t really disturb anyone when we let them off. 5) The gambling. Wahahaha…. really, really can’t wait. Crosses fingers and hopes that I’ve got good money luck this year. 6) I don’t have to work… it’s an entire week off. I work in Selangor so I need to take Thursday and Friday off to make the break last 10, stressless days. Wilayah people have it even better, Friday’s the only day they’ve to work next week. 7) My cousins… my youngest cousin will be five this year and he is SOOOOOO CUTE (see photo above). Can’t wait to pinch his cheeks…
The lion dances… my eldest auntie has a big-ass CNY open house on Day 1 every single year. And they get the local lion dance troupe to head over to add to the festivities. Later in a day usually the lion dance troupe will head to my granny’s house. NOTHING like having a lion in your own house, I tell you. 9) Finally, I take a week-long sabbatical from Eric the crab-slayer (but next year he’s coming with me to KB too), and more importantly, I get to stop blogging for an entire week!

that is really really cruel i cant believe you would write a blog on animal cruelty. “A man is not a great man because he is a warrior and kills others, but because he hurts not any living beings he in truth is called a great manâ€.
