Black Pepper Crabs

Hi, by the time I wrote post this, it was already a good 2am Saturday morning....Mr Hubby still not back yet!..he's involved in the the coming big event that will be happening in Singapore..the 2010 Youth Olympic Games..well cant elaborate more, as he was quite busy.... in fact very busy for the past few months for this...

Imagine he did not have his dinner at home for a the past few weeks now....excluding Sundays only..cause even Saturdays it was burnt...out of the blue, on Wednesday morning before he left for office, he said he wanted to eat crabs..and specifically said  black pepper crabs,and will be back for dinner that night although its late..

Frankly I have never cooked black pepper crabs before..hehehe tak gelabah kita dibuatnya..heheh..but no worries I told myself....surf the netlah was the answer....came across this recipe and gave it a try...added more chili padis and black peppercorns..ha engkau..berpeluh2 dia makan..hehehe..lepas tu cakap best!!..kombang lubang hidung mokcik tau...hilang penat malam2 menumis..hehehe...
Will revisit this recipe again definitely!..Thanks dear owner for sharing.
