Comment on How To… Dress a Crab by Malak

Hi David,I delfniteiy know your intentions, and I have to admit that killing lobsters and crabs can be a cruel thing to do when the death is not instantaneous. I was reading a novel about slaughter house and out of curiousity I surfed the net for informations, the sights were tramatizing… However, I can’t resist meat so mixed feelings about it… By the way, does the “poking of the eye” technique work? Didn’t realize that you slit right between and below its eyestalks, cos my dad attempted a slit at the region where there is a V-shaped shell for male and a rounded shell for female, the crab didn’t die immediately, quite a struggle. Since then, he refuse to kill them at home…

hey david,thanks for your ceilpmmont, but the pictures turned out great because we had a sexy subject. I say all our photographs should feature her eating in future. What’s food porn without an overt sensory dimension? ;)Some people think that Relish is overpriced but I think these people cannot appreciate Relish’s food and do not understand its culinary genius. We have heard people saying that it tastes like a BigMac!For a good oleaginous cardiacally-dangerous burger, I recommend Wham! burger. It used to be at China Sq Food Centre but it has since moved and I don’t know where it is located anymore. That burger was greasy, greasy, greasy. Full-bodied straight-up beef flavour combined with the satisfying unctous gusto. I still recall with fondness the charred morsels of fat, chopped up and mashed into a thick juicy patty, smothered in mayonaise, with the obligatory lettuce shreds and mediocre bread. It’s definitely not gourmet food, its unpolished and audacious and brash. A burger you should devour with your hands and end off with compulsive finger-licks.

(David Koh appears to have had a similar experience with the Original dB Burger and suggests nothing …) I suspect the sort of thick patties in towering burgers that dB is famous for is really hard to [...]

I personally enjoy the best durian gelato from Alfero Artisan Gelato located at Marina Square #02 level. You can come down and talk to Mr Alfero from Italy himself there. Worth buying no joke better than 5 star hotel.
