Despite my grievances about the other item, I have to admit this is really good.
Sweet, fragrant, juicy, and there's this very unique flavour in the head which is fresh tasting and incredibly moreish. The flesh is more spongy and has more bite than prawn, which is fine but the flavour is where it's at.
Hard to rec cos idk if other places can't come close, but I'll be hard pressed to rec this for the queueing time. If youre really old with all the time in the world, come here for this
AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE
the fried rice is cold(no idea why, they're clearly making it on the spot because everyone is waiting), it's not particularly fragrant, and the crab isnt even stir fried into it.
Further, the queue is just soul shattering. It looks short but it moves damn slowly. When you get seated it's another 40mins before you get your food. The place is infested with tourists.
Probably one of the most famous restaurant for crab fried rice but felt like this place got abit too touristy.
Their Signature Crab Fried Rice (480 Baht for M size) indeed came as a huge portion that is enough for 2-3 to share. The fried rice itself has quite abit of wok hei which we appreciated, and it wasn't too salty and oily as well. The rice grains were not clumpy too! However, we were disappointed with the crab meat, as they were not stir fried with the rice and had little to no taste.
The Stir Fried Mantis Shrimp with Chilli and Basil was really good! I enjoyed each bite of the mantis shrimp, as they were really meaty and you can taste the sweetness and seafood flavour of the meat. The sauce itself is very garlicky and spicy, making this dish very shiok!
Lastly we had the crab meat spring rolls as a side and it had a satisfying crunch, though sadly it didn't have much crab taste.
Total bill for the 2 of us amounted to about 1030 Baht which wasn't exactly cheap. Felt like a restaurant you can visit once just for the record.
