The Boiling Crab

During my 3 weeks vacation in LA, I've been to boiling crab 3 times at 3 different branches and ordered almost the same set every time. Our favorite was the shrimps in whole sha bang sauce;
Whole sha what? Whole sha bang is their mix of all their sauces namely original rajun cajun, lemon Pepper and garlic butter...

Tip is either to come here early or come here late, otherwise you'll have to wait for more than 40 minutes to be seated, since they accept no reservations. 2nd pointer is to go straight home after you dine here, unless you want to smell like seafood garlic :)

First off, the server will put a plastic boiling crab bib upon ordering, this to prepare you for a messy good food squirting experience...Order will come in a steaming plastic bag, placed on top of your wax paper covered table. A pound of shrimps cost $9 aprrox. P450.
There's no utensils here, no plates, no spoon & fork. Oh, don't forget to wash your hands before and after eating. ;) You have to use you're hands to savor the finger lickin good taste of their food. Ask for "salt and pepper " and lime and dunk the shrimp in... ohhhh luscious!
Sides such as corn also comes inside the bag, the corn wrapped in its tastilicious sauce is so friggin delicious... Sweet potato fries and Cajun fries are also at its best.

Their dungeness crab is huge,succulent and meaty. The crab in the picture cost around $24... 2++ lbs, I guess...
They also offer Dungeness crab legs ($9/lbs) which are also good but nothing compared to the crab itself. Their raw oysters is just ok, 6 to 8 pieces per serving and cost around $9.

Overall, I had an awesome addicting experience... Whole sha bang!


I hope there will be a similar boiling crab here in Manila... just a wishful thinking :)

That's All!
