Crab Bee Hoon

Yesterday I tried crab bee hoon at the Punggol Kopitiam. Okay, Punggol Kopitiam isn't exactly in the most happening part of town, but at least when I told the taxi driver, "the one near punggol plaza, got crab one" he knew what I was talking about.

So what exactly is it like? Basically its thick bee hoon in milky broth, kinda like the fish bee hoon ya know? And with crab meat boiled together in it. I suppose you can imagine what the absolutely yummy broth would taste like! And we had some scallops and asparagus dish on the side, guess we needed some healthy food to go with the high cholesterol.....

Do I like crabs? Yeah I do! Especially those that are fresh and cold which you can find at Tomales Bay in the Bay area. I guess asian style with lots of gravy and broth is good too, but fresh boiled and cold you can really taste the freshness of the meat! Sweet freshness. Just like the 10 lb spider crab I ate in Oxnard, SoCal, absolutely fantastic!

Somebody I know who's associated with crabs has broke his bond and gone far far away. Guess I won't be seeing him for a long time. Come to think of it, the last time I had crabs with him I think we were still in California! Seems like such a long time ago now....
