My tom yam soup (14Rm) when it came, was SPICY and fragrant with lemon grass, cilantro, spices, four large prawns & half a crab! I felt like I’d won the jackpot. (Daddy’s cafe on Coral Beach in Palau Pangkor, Malaysia.)Crab all tied up in red in a market in Vietnam.
Chile Crab at the Portugis settlement in Melaka, Malasia.
