18th Jan 2008 - Crab Bee Hoon or CRAP Bee Hoon Leh???!!!

my nephew called me in the evening asking me whether i'm aware that his birthday is juz 1 day away? oso asked me what birthday present i bought for him... i totally forgotten abt his birthday present so i juz replied "i know your birthday coming, but i'm very busy at work and couldn't find time to buy present.. instead i'll give you something else".. he sadly replied ok lor.. and he asked me if i wanna eat Crab Bee Hoon cos he's having dinner with his mum and dad and oso my mum at elias mall.. i said ok as the i had tried the crab beehoon there before.. when they arrived at my place, i went down to pass ang bao to my nephew and oso to take the crab beehoon.. was damn hungry and when i opened the packet, i nearly fainted!! the beehoon was seperately packed and the crab is of very lousy quality!! saw the bill for the crab beehoon was $47/=!!! they purposely filled the container of crab with lots of gravy so that you won't be able to see the crab!! the pincers were big but the flesh inside was only 1/2 filled and the body of the crab was even worse!! the flesh were 1/2 attached!! this is what we called heavy crab with little meat!! it's heavy not becos it's a flesh full packed crab, but bcos of it's shell...!! next time if you wanna buy crab, you gotta hold on to the crab, turn its belly upside, pressed the belly to see if it's hard and make sure no bubbles and water oozing out when you pressed.. if it's soft and bubbles and water oozing out, the crab is no good.. thats why many zu char stalls dun like customers to test the crab this way, as they will end up with all the lousy crabs unsold.. anyway, told my sis to call the zu char stall to inform them abt the quality of the crab. the zu char stall replied "oh really huh??!! haiz.. bo bian leh.. cos our regular crab supplier no stock so we got the supply from another supplier... anyway, we will take note of it... thank you..."

well, what can i say... LL eat the crab lor.. as for the beehoon, i soaked them in the gravy and ate it half an hour later so that the beehoon will taste better... i wondered.. am i eating crab beehoon or CRAP beehoon.... haiz..... take a look at the pics...
