Salted Egg Crab

Salted egg creates a lovely golden crust that is so finger-lickin' good. Crisp and rich, the sweet flesh of the crab gets an extra boost of flavour from the salty creaminess of the eggs.

I remember those days. Used to be under a big tree. I still preferred the big tree location rather than the sterile food court tho.
