Crabby Durian

Last fri, i went to e famous amk seafood place to eat again wif my 2nd sis, her bf and mum.

After being there so many times, i seriously think its my fav from all ive eaten. Although ive not eaten e similar famous n cheap Balestier one, isit Balestier or Jalan Kayu? Jalan Kayu besides prata got sell famous seafood or not ar? But anyways, since tis one is so near my place, i haf no reason to go there. Besides, my fav dishes are one and only here anyways. Its addiction.

But i haf no idea wat bus to take if theres no car. Can walk also but i not sure e way too. Lol. Although it was only a less than 10 mins ride, my motion sickness did kicked in coz i didnt put e plaster. But i bet tts coz of my sis's bad driving skills. Coz later on, when her bf took e wheel i was ok. But it may be due to the multiple turnings ard e car park as well.

We brought my granny there some time back and she was saying like, "I eat tis crab liao i go back M'sia no need to eat already!" Lol, cant blame her, tt night, e crabs were especially fat and juciy and sweet and cheap obviously compared to atas resturants. They say eat crabs must choose dates within a mth to go. And also when e moon is out or something. Not sure though.

E auntie did tell us the crabs not so fat today, but i thot it was still good, it was still very fresh and juicy. I finally ate their signature Claypot Crab Noodle tis time. If i go there again, i bring my cam along. Its very nice. The soup is very creamy. We also ordered e creamy butter crabs as usual and e buns.

I love their toufu, must try! If u go there, must try their Claypot Crab, Creamy Butter Crab and the Crispy Toufu. Its enuff to fill u up till u puke. Ok, maybe not depending on how many u go wif. Amazing thing is u will be addicted to these 3 dishes, and they r not found anywhere else.

We had beer and a hearty meal. But i can tell e 3 of them not full yet. So we headed to eat e most amazing durian at one oolu oolu carpark. Beer ok to eat durian lah, dun eat when u drink hard liquor though. I think i drank e most tt night, duno y. Lol.

My sis had been raving about it ever since shes eaten it. She said e durian is e best, much better than any D24, XO or watever u've eaten at Geylang. She said its so creamy it tasted like ice cream. And e seed is extremely small. So u haf like big scoops of them.

But of coz, it comes wif a price lah. One durian about 30 bucks. Can eat one crab le.

The stall is located at the strangest place. Its within a car park. Very dark and oolu along wat, Damsy Road, Demsy Road? Duno wats e spelling. U see many rich ppl and sports cars driving in for their durians and also their Shan Zhu(2) (fruit), wats shan zhu in el?

I was very curious about their Shan Zhu coz by the time we left, they were almost empty. So e bf bought one bag for us. Very nice though ex. 5 bucks per bag, inside about 10. But very sweet and juicy and fat. Nice! The uncle said got one lady has been patronising him for the past 10 yrs, but only buy his shan zu, she never buy his durian, duno y... Lol.

His business has been going on i think for about 20 yrs. And looking at the location n stall, i bet hes earning lots of money. But we went too late. His durians had almost ran out. We were e last customers sitting down. He rejected e rest.

We asked him wat kind of durian hes selling, but he refused to tell us. He only kept saying, "Good durian!"... Lol, maybe he planted himself using his own secret methods. Lol.

Unfortunately, e durians werent great. It was good but nothing special like wat they say. So we gave e durians back and he kept opening and finding gd ones for us. My sis was disappointed tt i didnt get to taste e kind she was toking about. Maybe go earlier next time.

The uncle said we didnt even eat 1 KG, and e bf said, "Ur durian lidat how to eat 1 KG?"... Lol, so he gave us discounts and apologised. All e best ones must be sold le... So sad... But i did eat one seed tts especially good but one how to judge.

So maybe next time i guess. But i was full like mad. Hearty meal. I think its me lah, every time i go out wif ppl for food sure something goes wrong one.

I can go wif SZ next time and order e Claypot one, got noodle in e soup, i think she will like. Its soupy, healthier and instead of rice she can haf noodles. Coz her family always eat rice when they eat seafood or something, which was so strange compared to mine. We never eat rice when we eat chinese food outside. Lol.

But i wan to intro her e Creamy Butter and toufu, so maybe another time. I doubt we 2 girls can finish.
