Black Pepper Crab

Hello Gorgeous,


How did you spend your Valentine Day?


With your partner, with your family or with your friends?


I spent my Valentine Day with BFFs Kay Kay and Yutaki.


These few weeks I had been really busy with work ( and earning $$$ ).


You couldn't imagine how exhausted, dehydrated and drained I am ;...(


Therefore, I felt really happy and touched to be able to ( squeeze some time from my crazy schedule and ) spend my Valentine Day with my beloved BFFs ( who have been there for me through all my ups and downs ).


Sorry, can't show you guys the photo of the shoe because it haven't been launched in
Kandy Kayne.
However, I feel damn proud of myself because I managed to shoot this behind the scene photo.
Yutaki had such a given talent with cameras. #NotAMyth
All his photos are portfolio-worthy !!!
He will make you ( or himself ) look like GODDESS OF MERCY !!!
LOL !!!


I went to meet Yutaki and Kay Kay at Scape ( after work ) because Kay Kay was doing her shoot for her new Kandy Kayne collection.


So after the shoot, we went to this secret zhi-char place ( that me and Yutaki discovered and they sell really DELCIOUS BLACK PEPPER CRAB ( no joke, really oishi ). 


The cheebye thing is, it’s damn CHEAP also !!! Like $20 plus for one crab !!! *shen* *shen* *shen* *carry plastic bag* ).
Guess what happened?
The zhi-char place only left with OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE pathetic crab !!!
DULLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN MAX !!!
We came all the way from Orchard just for their chee bye crab leh *angsty* *neh neh bursting*.
*Disappointed to the brink*


Despite all odds, Yutaki insisted at tabao-ing ( take away ) that last pathetic piece of crab ( poor crab, still thought got hope to survive ). And eat that oishi crab infront of us *evil-ness* !!!


So we waited at our secret zhi car place and camwhore ( I know the background is damn HDB lah, at least we dressed up *round of applause please* LOL ) !!!


Yutaki damn stress.
Don't know whether enough $$$ to pay for his crab mah...
No lah just kidding.
He is counting his $100 notes !!!
*rich bitch*


KayKay went to curl and backcomb her hair for her black pepper crab kandy kayne shoot.
I feel damn intimidated by them both because they both dressed to KILL.
I'm on my casual wear. This is unacceptable. I feel so left out !!!
Hello, anyone remember we are eating B.L.A.C.K P.E.P.P.E.R C.R.A.B ???


Me and my casual-ness. FML. I should have join in the fun and DRESS TO KILL ~~~
WEAR TUXEDO, TURTLE NECK SHIRT, BOW TIE TO EAT CRAB !!!
I don't care *emo max* LOL !!!


Keep disturbing Yutaki and snapped his pictures.
He ignored me.
CHAO BYE BYE BITCH !!!


I told Kay Kay to join the fun and disturb him too !!!
\(^.~)/


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! KAY KAY FAILLLLLLLLL ....
#YutakiIsAHiuLanBitch


Me ( with all perserverance and will ) trying to ACT CUTE/CHIO.
I know I can't do cute. But I die die want to act cute leh.
*Zhe mer yang* *Zhe mer yang*
shamelessly *snap* *snap* LOL!!!
Prior to our Vday dinner, all of us agreed on wear whatever LEOPARD PRINT outfits ( we had ).


Something like a "theme" dinner for Valentine's Day,


And we wore this:


Check out my comfy LEOPARD PRINT shoes !!!
Super Kawai Mitsubishi Fujitsu Ajisan Doraemon Digimon Pokemon CUTE RIGHT !!!
I sibei proud of myself for hunting down this in BKK !!!
Only 400 BAHT ( $16.10 ) !!!
( p.s the texture is damn furry one )


Yutaki Sibei-Oh-My-Tian HOT ( I mean sweating HOT ) 
leopard sweatshirt !!!
It's chio lah !!!
But it's sibei THICK can !!!
I see him wear, I feel hot for him.
#ActYiGeWinterSonata


KayKay leopard boots !!!
It's very GIANORMOUS-LY BIG !!!
It looks comfy because inside feels like cotton wool sia !!!
But can imagine, if someone got smelly leg and wear this.
Oh-My-Nose 0.0 !!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE THIS PHOTO.
THE AH MA EXPRESSION IS PRICELESS !!!


Yutaki finding his angle and KayKay is really SICK OF THIS SHIT !!! *yawns*


I look damn shack. Trying my best to "tian" my camera.
But fail. TOO EXHAUSTED FROM WORK !!!
zzz ZZZ zzz ZZZ ...




Finally our black pepper crab is done and packed !!!


We got into KayKay's car and re-decided on where we wanted to have our dinner ( while Yutaki is sibei happy holding on to his black pepper crab ).


But me and Kay are still hungry and grumpy !!!


In the end, we came up with a conclusion that even though our secret zhi-char place's black pepper crab is SOLD OUT, we will not cancel the plan instead we could go to other zhi-char place to have our black pepper crab. 


Not nice also nvm. AT LEAST GOT CRAB CAN LIAO ( yes we are crab-ivores )!!!


So Kay Kay came up with the idea of having black pepper crab at this famous neighbourhood restaurant ( that sells really famous oiishii crab ).


It's called MELBEN !!!


Sounds familiar? 


Anyone heard of it? 


Kay says it's freaking famous and alot of celebrities go there and sign on their crab shells ( and it's TRUE, they have a wall of celebrity-signed crab shells ) !!!


In response, Yutaki said we all should go and sign on their crab shells also cos we are celebrities. HAHAHAHAHA 火 leh this Yutaki !!!


We decided to go ahead with the idea but I was secretly praying that the black pepper crab better turn out to be more delicious than our secret zhi char place ( or else REFUND *riot* *riot* *riot* *switch on complain queen mode* ) and I'm mother hungry can !!!


So we queued outside Melben for like 10 mins ( according to Kay, Melben's queue can be as long as 1 HOUR !!!  ).


We finally got a table ( wah damn stress, it's worst than hunting for a table in clubs ) !!!


So here is the photo of what we ordered:




I strongly requested to order PRAWN PASTE FRIED CHICKEN 
( ha cheong kai ) !!!
It's my all time favourite zhi-char dish !!!
I can have this everyday and won't feel bored !!!
Confirm voodoo !!!
OhMyStomach *squeeze fats* !!!  ;....(


WOOOHOOO !!!
The long awaited main dish is here !!!
BLACK PEPPER CRAB !!!
^.~

You cb crab, don't know we've been through so much just to eat u !!!
*saliva leaking*


The supporting dish ( and yet to try ) is ...
BUTTER CRAB !!!
and the best part is ...
NOT SPICY AT ALL !!!
If I eat black pepper until I sian, I can "dish-hop" to this !!!
\(^.~)/
* highly recommended by Kay*


I know I damn old school, but this is also my all time favourite 
zhi-char dish also !!!
SALTED EGG PRAWN !! ! 

Yutaki intro-ed me to eat this and ever since then, I'M HOOKED !!!
All your fault Yutaki. LOL!!!


We start to gnaw at all the crabs !!!
Look at how "fleshy" is the crab !!!
Later then I found out, Melben uses SRI LANKA CRAB you know !!!
I am so happy with my Valentine Day dinner that I took a college all it !!! LOL !!!
Guess what ... the whole dinner ( including drinks, rice, wet tissue and a irritating plates of peanuts )
cost us around $200+ !!!
3 person leh, $200 bucks ?!?!

*cheapness can*


Thanks to our oishi food guru: Ms Yan Kay Kay
Photo shamelessly grabbed from Yutaki
\(^.~)/


The dinner was unbelievably good !!!


However, Yutaki kept comparing Melben black pepper crab to our secret zhi char place. 


I feel the verdict is I think our secret zhi char place's black pepper crab is nicer. 


However I feel that Melben's BUTTER CRAB is seriously worth the try. 


Kay keep recommending us to try their Crab Bee Hoon. 


She say until like the Crab Bee Hoon soup is like holy water leh !!! *OhMyJesus*


Got so shiok or not ???


Okok I confirm go back Melben and try their Crab Bee Hoon !!!


After we're done with our Valentine Day dinner  at Melben, we went to Kay's house to chill and just gossip/talk cock till late.


Guess what happened the next day ?


I feel so guilty that I ate so much ... I went to buy a slimming pill from Watsons:





I hope you enjoyed reading my lame ass black pepper crab blogpost.


After reading this post, I hope it motivates you to put on more cholesterol, high blood and weight *evil-ness*.


It's damn shiok to spend a dinner night out with your friends and eat till FOOD COMA !!!


May we all grow fat and regret about it in 2012 !!! \(^.~)/
