Loved the Emperor Hairy Crab Rice Pot Set (MYR RM198) which is luxurious and comforting. Made with the crab roe from 10 hairy crabs, the Emperor Hairy Crab Rice Pot Pao Fan has loose rice grains, tender flaky deshelled hairy crab meat, and springy clumps of crab roe, combined to carry grainy earthy briny salty savoury sweet flavour. The soup / broth is warm and rich, with distinct crab flavour. Served with sides of juicy Pickled Long Beans with tangy zesty sour vegetal sweet flavour, crunchy Home Made Kimchi Baechu / Kimchi Pickled Cabbage with vegetal sour sweet spice flavour, crisp Parsley with vegetal bitter herbal sweet flavour, and a shot of thin Black Vinegar for added sour tangy zesty flavour. Highly recommended!
