Hey Guys..
Happy Birthday, Mom! :hug :kiss :smile
Today is a special day for BD’s family, mom’s birthday! The strongest yet warmest woman in the world. What are we going to do? Whatever make our mom really happy, definitely! Both Mr. BD and Ms. BD gave special a hug and congratulation to our mom in the early morning. No kiss?? Yes, no kiss. Why? It was a strange situation for our family to give a kiss for family. Well, it’s Chinese. Hehe.. 🙂
For sure, we have a special dinner for tonight. We were going to mom’s new favorite Chinese food restaurant, Red Crab Restaurant. Mom’s found it accidentally before. Last month, Mom went with our niece to Edukits. After finished shopping, they felt hungry and just tried this new restaurant, right beside the Edukits stationary store Sei Panas. Mom then said that she would like to celebrate her birthday in here. And, promise was kept to be come true.
First of all, let’s order the menu. We ordered 9 kind of different menu here, and for sure, we will not miss out their signature dish, Chili Crab.
Second, photo session. Mr. BD start to took some pictures to give you some figure about this restaurant.

It was arranged in Chinese restaurant style, dining in a round table.

Now, let’s take our foods’ picture. Mr. BD only have few second to take the pictures as everybody was hungry! 😉
Fried Prawn Within Western Style

Fried Prawn
As a prawn lover, the taste was not as per our expectation. The prawn was too dry and not sweet. So, we recommend you to try other prawn menu for option.
Stir Fried Water Spinach

Stir Fried Water Spinach
The water spinach was fresh and the taste was decent.
Garlic Fried Chicken

Garlic Fried Chicken
We ordered 2 times for this menu. Once finished the first portion, we ordered the second portion. Maybe because the portion was too small for 10 persons eating. Hehe.. The fried chicken was crispy and tender.
Hong Kong Kailan 2 Style

Hong Kong Kailan 2 Style
A unique menu we tried from this restaurant. As you can see on above picture, they have 2 styles to cook the kailan. Left one was a stir fried style, the right one was crispy style. The crispy style was the unique one. They chopped the kailan very small and fried it with anchovy fish (ikan bilis). It came out with the a delicious and unique taste.
Sweet & Sour Sauce Fried Fish

Sweet & Sour Sauce Fried Fish
It was an ordinary sweet and sour sauce fried fish. The fish was fresh and the sauce was good.
Vegetables with Mushrooms Paulingku

Vegetables with Mushrooms Paulingku
As always, this is mom’s number one favorite vegetable. It consists of broccoli, carrot, and mushroom. The taste was decent.
Crab Meat Beancurd

Crab Meat Beancurd
The portion was just right for one person or max two persons. With IDR50K for a small bowl of crab soup, we can say that it was overpriced. However, they put a lot of crab meat inside. The taste was decent.
Came in lastly after we all finished our steamed rice, here is the king, Chili Crab!

Chili Crab
Like a game, the boss just showed up on the last level. Haha.. The presentation was really mouth-watering. And we can say that this is the best dish from this restaurant. Alright, they made a good execution on their signature dish. The crab was big and meaty. The sauce was delicious too. A delectable food even without steamed rice to accompany us.

Thanks for your review. I wanted to try this restaurant after reading about it from your blog but it seems most people are not aware of the location. We were brought to another Red Crab Restaurant at Nagoya Hill which tasted fresh and good as well.

Hi, yes, people tend to know Red Crab at Nagoya more than the original location at this place. But since the owner should be the same, we can expect the taste and service to be in similar level.
