Crabs and Fish

Sweet and Sour Crabs


Steamed Crabs


'Lai Mang' Fish

Mum can cook a gastronomic meal out of mud crabs. Usually everyone likes the sweet and sour way of cooking prepared by mum but Jeff prefers his steamed. He said he can really taste the ‘real’ taste of the crab whereas the sweet and sour way can mask the ‘real’ taste.

A few times when my cousin came for visit from West Malaysia, mum cooked the crabs for her to take away back over there to enjoy.

We also like to eat ‘lai mang’ fish. I don’t think it is available in West Malaysia or Kota Kinabalu. They came all the way from Sandakan.

I cooked flower crabs (using mum’s sweet and sour recipe) when I was in Down Under and my friends loved them. (In fact when I was there I cooked things like Hainan chicken, satays, roast turkeys, etc)
