Woke up early on a saturday morning (usual wake up time is 9.30am but tat day woke up at 8am!)....went to the market to find crab...hehe..saw my aunties..n they too bought crabs coz they wanna cook BPC too!...such a coincidence!....but they bought the big black crab...the Sri Lankan crab i think....while we juz buy flower crab coz Mak n of coz me...dont dare to clean the big crab....hmm....found a stall selling 1kg of flower crab for $10....but not much choice so we took all...abt 12 pcs...n uncle only charged us $12....hhehe...thank u uncle!....then i asked Mak if its funny to put some vege in BPC n she said no...but i wanted Brussel Sprouts n no vege stall sells that so we had to go Cold Storage....for a mere 6-7 pieces...i paid $5+!...aiyayaya....but i like it so much that i juz went ahead to buy...
Reached home ard 10am....super hungry so had bfast first....then helped Mak to clean up the crab...then took out all the ingredients n im all ready to cook!.....so...we have to put in the garlic n ginger...n curry leaves....mixed it well....pour in the black pepper sauce....n 2 spoonful of light soya sauce n abit of water....mixed everything well.....when the sauce is finally bubbling...put in the crab and mixed it well wiv the sauce....n ta-da!....its done!.....wahhhh....im so happy n very satisfied n proud of myself!!!!..heheh
