Crab Fest 2008

On Sunday, we invited our friends over for a lot of dungeness crabs, some garlic noodles, assorted vege dishes and Antje's famous pink guava cake. We prepared the crabs 2 ways - boiled, with ponzu and ginger sauce and fried with the store bought Singapore Chili crab paste from Prima Taste. Thank God for Mas who showed us how to clean 'em so we can cook 'em. They were delish!
