What to do with the crab?

Remove the carapace (the shell of the crab)
Cut in half by the center and cut another half. Leaving 2/3 legs on each parts.
Remove the gills (the dirtiest part as it will be muddy)
Cut 1/2 of the leg removing 2 parts of it
Cut away all sharp edges so it is a fuss free meal.

Now, blend in oil some 
Green bird's eye chilli
Shallots
Garlic
Tumeric
And fry till fragrant.
Add in smashed lemongrass and few pieces of lime leaves.
Pour in pieces of flower crab and coconut milk.
For flavor, 2 tsp of salt / Fish stock and 1 tsp of sugar.
Let your crab turn from blue to orangey-red and it's ready to be eaten!

Not of their slow or bad service. 
It is just that, it is so good.

Bought 2 packs of frozen minced beef from Sheng Siong. 
Added in 
1 Minced onion
Bit of Parsley
1 Beef cube
1 Tbp of Black pepper
Breadcrumbs
1 Eggs
Ground nutmeg
Garlic Salt
1 Tbs of corn flour

Roll them into balls and this is ready to be fried in butter. 
Let the meatball cooked in medium heat till one side is golden-brown before changing sides.
All cooked, remove meatballs from pan.

Aside, I've managed to boil some pasta to be eaten together with the meatballs.

In the same pan, add in butter or olive oil if needed.
Fry minced onion and garlic.
Add in some sliced mushroom.
Add in Heavy cream, beef cube or salt for taste.
If its too runny for your liking, add in mozzarella cheese.
What am I saying? 
Just add in mozzarella. 
Who doesn't love cheese aite?

And this, is ready to be eaten. 
Pour some pasta on your plate together with the sauce and sprinkle some parsley.

Let me know what you think?
Is this nice?
Or nicer than the meatballs at I_EA? 
To each it's own. 

Happy Midweek people! 
Enjoy this yet another simple meal!
