Butter Crab Recipe

The crave for butter crab has been inside me for very long...after tasting the famous Melbourne Crab at Ang Mo Kio blk 232...the scene of butter crab just couldn't get off my mind...It is very nice yet very expensive at the same time...so always would wanna try cooking myself but the idea of cooking would always put off when I think of the ingredients and the hassle...

Finally one fine day, I decided to take the challenge, before that I have to do research from Internet to make sure the cooking procedure and also some tips from my mum...the preparation of the ingredients is indeed a chore....so many things to prepare and sure after everything it will be damn messy haaaaa.....and my mum gonna kill me again !!!

And the outcome of the butter crab I would rate it a 7/10 because there is still room for improvement...the funny part was....when the dish is cooked....no one in my family wanna eat it at first...my dad keep complaining....so much butter he don't like....then my mum would say the scene like those indian curry becoz of the curry leaves.....and later HAAAAAA when one starts to taste it....the rest follows....and in short span of time...the whole dish is wiped out.....espically my brother who ate most of the crab....can still hear the "Chu Chu" sound coming out from their mouth......So funny....so I guess it was a success..phew........
