Had a lovely gathering with foodie friends that I have known for years, hence our new bond and motto "All for one, and one for all".
It was nice to have some crab before the crab season starts because I will appreciate the taste more when I have it once in a while.
Here was what we had:

Crab soup with bird's nest
高湯蟹肉燕窩

Started off with this hot soup loaded with fresh crabmeat and bird's nest.
It was light and delicious loaded with protein from the bird's nest.

清蒸奄仔蟹
Steamed crabs
These are young crabs that are only three months old and the crab roe is light yellow with a bitter aftertaste.

鹽焗重皮蟹
Crabs baked in salt

The crab roe for this crab was slightly denser with a stronger taste infused with salt and spring onions.

紅酒汁生煎元貝
Seared scallops in red wine sauce

The scallops had a crispy surface which had a fragrant red wine aroma and the sauce was sweet and appetizing with fresh sugar snap peas beneath it paired with crunchy black fungus.

喜 記 正宗避風堂炒蟹 (避風塘炒蟹)
Typhoon shelter crab

Allthough I have eaten crab many times I still have trouble with the crab shell but this time I finally learnt the trick which is to wrap the crab with tissue and tap it with the crab pliers.
After removing the shell I was left with tasty crabmeat!!!

As well as crab, there was fish and it was Steamed Turbo done in two ways.
It was filleted fish and stir fried with vegetables and the remains of the fish was coated in flour and fried.
I really liked the chunks of fish in light gravy and the fried fish was even better because the crispy fish was moreish in the crispy batter.

The guys ordered the beef so we got this huge plate of beef slices.
It was surprisingly good because the beef was crispy on the edges and tender in the middle but I wish there was mustard sauce too.
Anyway, if they hadn't ordered this I wouldn't have known they did beef too.

招牌蟹油炒麵

To finish off, I had my favourite noodles cooked in crab oil.
The noodles were a great carbohydrate filler for those who need to have rice or noodles in their meal (ME!~!).
If you happen to order the Typhoon shelter crab earlier with the crispy pieces of garlic and chili, save some for the noodles because they make a great accompaniment.

To finish off, we had the pomelo and mango dessert which was creamy and sweet loaded with pomelo pieces and sweet mango.
