Stuffed Crab - A show of love

How do you know you're loved?
When do you feel loved?

When I was young, before entering primary school, I spend my weekends at my mum's mum place. My poh poh was the one who looked after me when I was young. In a way, she has a special place in my heart.. although.. I must admit I don't do much to show it. I rarely call and take her out for lunch or dinner.

Ok.. I feel bad now.. and I've decided I should take the initiative. I'm not a very 'relational' person but people have to change.

One of my favourite dish that my poh poh cooks is stuffed crab. The crabs (a lot of crabs are needed for this) are boiled and de-shelled. Then its mixed with pork meat & chopped water chestnut and stuffed into the crab "head" and then its fried.

And my poh poh made them for me last weekend!!

Ok.. so you wonder what's so special about it that made me feel so touched?

Firstly, it's a lot a lot of work to deshell so many crabs..

Secondly, my poh poh isn't it the tip top of health. She suffered from a mild stroke before and one of her hands don't have the strength it used to have. It took her 2 days to get it done.

So nice hor? It was a rare treat.
