| | Before dinner purchase...
A super cute fish purse!! My mom and sister don't like it, but I think it's adorable! And then....
It has a little fish inside! Sortof like a coin purse....the lady wouldn't bargain me for it, though :( But I liked it so much that I bought it anyways...
...dinner before I ordered it...
these are live 'lan yue ha' (sp?) ... 'pissing shrimp' (also called mantis shrimp) they're called that, i believe, because they piss on themselves when you cook them :X don't worry though, cantonese people are smart and they spear them (torture them) before cooking to make them pee before cooking...
here's the super tasty big shrimp after cooking!
and we also got tastytasty crab...that were SO super spicy! there was an incredible mound of chiles and red peppers served with the crabs...yummy crabs! we ate at this street establishment where they have toilet paper rolls on the tables for napkins (most restaurants actually don't give you napkins at all). There are plates, buckets, and crates of fresh seafood that you can choose from...while they have this sort of thing in NY, the seafood are usually in nice aquariums as opposed to just on a table. I guess they have such a high turnover that it doesn't matter.
Anyways, here's the crab both before and after eating...look at how much SPICY is left!
