Posing with the Cajun flavoured Crab bucket ; I look like
some Chilli ambassador don't I ?
My younger son Andrew, turned 18 in late October. We bought him a 'present' which was a trip for himself to Japan for 2 weeks, from early 2nd to the 16th October, paid courtesy of my wife and myself. He is currently studying Biomedical Engineering at Ngee Ann Polytechnic Year 2, and the trip was a 'coming of age' trip for him and his ACS buddies. Several of his friends are in the same Polytechnic and we were keen to ask him of his experiences. But that will be in another post some time later.
Back to the dinner. This place is called Dancing Crab and its speciality is Louisiana seafood (yes New Orleans) with gumbo, crab cakes and Crab done New Orleans style. We ordered 2 buckets one with medium spicy (which was hot for us anyway !) and the other was butter seared seafood lobster.
Eat everything off the table, its fun !
The first dish was the Crab Bucket medium spicy. The crab was flavourful, Sri Lankan sized, and the chilli was well, spicy and a little sweet. There was plentiful prawns, clams and crab meat, plus potatoes, corn on the cob and some sausages thrown in for good measure. The Crab Bucket feeds 2 - 3 persons so we ordered 2 of these for good measure. The Dancing Crab is a subsidiary of the Tung Lok seafood restaurant chain, and they have 2 outlets, this one at Turf City, Bukit Timah and another outlet at Vivicity.
May and Andrew
I feel very blessed to have a stable family, with 2 good sons who are hardworking and have a passion for their studies. My wife May is also my blessing in life. Having family outings for dinner, movies and the odd local trip to Gardens by the Bay or breakfast at Tiong Bahru are the things money cannot buy, it is these things that make us a family - through good and not so good times.
V for victory
Andrew is at the age where he can buy and drink alcohol, so moderation is the key to everything. The youth of today have different mindsets from ours, and social media is replacing the day to day communication. It should not be this way, but we will find a balance for it in the long run. Nothing beats a face to face communication ever so often. Human interaction has always been this way.
