Hubby's birthday today and we went to Ah Yat Seafood at Turf City for dinner.
We wanted to try the bamboo clams as recommended by hubby's parents but no stock.
Wow, so many different types of seafood......
We chose the live scallops.......
and an Alaskan King Crab as hubby had never tasted it before.
They are humongous...
This was the smallest as there're only the 2 of us eating.
The live "fan" scallops was rather disappointing. Rather tough.
Now the Alaskan King Crab was something else........
We had one half of the crab cooked with black pepper and
the other half in some special pumpkin sauce. There were curry leaves in it, so it tasted a bit like Indian curry. I like it but hubby thought that it was too rich.
Birthday Boy digging in.......
Wow, the Alaskan King Crab was so meaty! Every claw was full of meat. The shell was thin and we just use a pair of scissors to cut thru it to get to the meat.
We finished the black-peppered half but couldn't finish all the pumpkin sauce half and had to take-away some of it. I think 4-6 persons can share that one crab.
The crab was rather expensive. It weighed 2.19kg and it cost $164.25 after the 50% discount! I was stunned for a second, if there're no 50% discount, I think I would have fainted but hubby really wanted to try it and to give himself a treat - so ok lor, I'm not complaining. Though I think this will be the last time ordering this crab or else maybe long long time later.
I would recommend steaming the crab as I've eaten it before and the meat is rather sweet.
If you go there to eat the seafood during weekdays - it's 50% discount off the price - during weekends, it's 30% off.
