- Food Travel Log
- A little slice of Thailand in Hong Kong: Little Thailand. A street created by Thai immigrants, it’s a delightful fusion of Thai and Hong Kong cultures! I had a Thai-style dish—fried crab that was crunchy enough to eat with the shell, definitely Thai! The curry was mildly spicy with a sweet, milky flavor, absolutely Thai! But accidentally ordering enough for three people left me with a bellyache. How Thai-pical!

- The soft-shell crab used in this dish is a luxurious ingredient that can be eaten whole, in the state right after the young crab molts, before the shell hardens. It's especially delightful in Thai cuisine, where it pairs exceptionally well with curry. The sweet and spicy sauce, based on coconut milk, is exquisite. The curry itself is called "Royal Thai Curry" and is an innovative dish that utilizes the unique blend of spices from Thai cuisine, potentially with a hint of Hong Kong flavor as well. A key point is that the soft-shell crab is fried twice at the perfect timing to achieve a crispy texture. However, ordering a large quantity at once might be too much for your stomach, even if the deliciousness continues. On the other hand, a gourmet blog author with a penchant for puns aiming for the "belly ache" joke, might want to break out of both the crab shell and the shell of dad jokes!
