Well, i think its decent grade longjing tea.

For wan hao @ marriott, if i dun remember wrongly, theirs is the more typical, 1 pot of tea charge a couple of dollars. I still prefer plain water, but i think kunoichi wants the tea to wash down all the oil and greasiness of the dim sum. This one i dun mind the tea, but i will ask them to remove all the other rubbish.

oh, u mean once crabs reached sg, they dun get to eat ar? From wat u hv said, tat means one shd avoid buying small crabs no?

I'm not against eating foie gras cos poultry (not pets ) r meant to be eaten in the 1st place. Juz feel tat the breeder r so inhumane to inflict such cruel & brutal actions on helpless living things for their profiting motives.

Actually they had quite a lot of desserts. 6 items in all - Sesame ball, tangyuan, mango pudding, red bean pancake, dou hua with wolfberries and fruit platter.

At least the goose get to eat til it dies. I heard from Dennyz that crabs were not fed at all cos they feed on rotting meat and you can't feed them that here due to strict AVA rules. So they basically just starve and start to shrink. Thats why the crabs which were not sold off become much smaller. Theirs were a worse fate imo. I will rather die a 'full ghost' than a starving one.

Hmmmm actually not all crabs coming in from neighboring countries i.e. Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand are fed with rotting meat.

AVA requirements are pretty stringent in the "Crab"department. It has to be from a licensed source if it's wild, meaning the contact/supplier/middleman must have the proper paperwork to certify its safe for consumption etc. somewhat like an ISO.

Another requirement would be the crabs gotta be Farmed and in this case they're actually fed proper meals not rotten meat.

I think it's a common misbelief that crabs eat rotting meat because they're scavengers and scour at the bottom of the mangrove river or seabed. Then like that means we are eating **** lor? Because some vegetables are still "fed" pig poo poo as fertilizers wor?

Anyway, crabs dont shrink else their shell will moult? They only get bigger thats why they moult. Smaller? Maybe the flesh shrink but not the body of the crab

The only thing seafood i know that shrinks in size is Fish

Pardon my cheong hey story.. I like the part u mentioned die a 'full ghost'.. LOL!!!

Yea, that plate of beef was the hottest item we ate. Eat til my tongue numb. Hmmm, now i finally know the difference between numb and hot. Although my tongue was numb, i dun really feel hot, unlike in the past when i ate some 'hot' dishes and i start perspiring and nose start running.

Edit : i understand that there is an even hotter dish on their menu, but we did not order it. Already that plate of beef was so hot that our tongues were numb from eating it. Cannot envision an even hotter dish ... i still wanna taste the rest of the food n its a bit hard to do so with a numb tongue.

The pink tilapia tummy area fatty anot? If not fatty and no muddy taste i think they got inject some special ''chemical''. Hear say from my fishing sifu who's a fish monger. Never dwell much into that topic with him so cant comment much.

Anyway most pink tilapia now farmed with very very swee conditions liao. I too love pink tilapia. Shiokzz!!

Seems like u all commented the soon hock nice.. so i guess its cooked perfectly.. The fried soonhocks i ate all fried with high oil temp Can't taste the sweetness and tenderness of the flesh
