Romantic Chinese crab dinner

I had this craving to eat crab today.

Called up my Chinaman and he agreed to buy me crab dinner. I told him I didn't feel like going to his favorite Fatty Crab in PJ. Tired of having to wait for the table there. So, he said he take me to this nice seafood restaurant near Kampung Subang.

He came to pick me up and only then I found out that he had cut his hair....and dyed it some more....real jinjang-like. He said it's Korean...I just said ya lah ya lah. Can't argue....sure kena hantam one if I did. Anyway, still handsome leh...so, never mind. He looked something like this tonight (but a bit older la) -


It turned out that we still have to wait for our table at the restaurant. Almost 20 minutes. But the place is really changgih. Part of the roof can opened up. The toilet was Bali-style and smells of lemon grass. Then the many tanks got huge lobsters, spider crabs, ugly looking fishes etc. Very expensive liao.

I think the lobsters were the most expensive. If I was not mistaken it's Rm24 per 100g.

Me and my Chinaman had some tiger prawns (soup), two local crabs (fried), broccoli (fried), and an oyster each (raw). He had his usual German beer and white wine. I had Chinese tea and sea coconut for dessert. It all costs about RM230.

We observed the packed restaurant and decided that our dinner was the least expensive. The other tables could easily costs more than Rm1k. The dishes kept coming at the table next to us....lobster, then abalone, then crabs, then I don't know what....

There were one or two tables with Malay and Indian customers and maybe a few tourists. The rest were Chinese.

I remarked to my Chinaman that the Chinese are indeed not doing very badly if they can afford to have such expensive dinner. Surely not oppressed enough by Umno.

I don't think all of them at the restaurant are corrupt Umno lackeys from MCA and Gerakan. Some of them must be from DAP, I think. Don't tell me none of those well off Chinese at the restaurant are supporting the frugal tokong of Penang.

Hmmmm....I do wonder if the economy class flying Guan Eng had ever eaten such expensive lobsters....maybe some MCA funny guy from Malacca can ask Betty about it at the next Malacca assembly sitting, no?

My Chinaman just laugh off my remarks and called me silly.

"Eh, we Chinese work hard la. That's why we can afford to eat like this. Nothing to do with DAP or MCA or Gerakan. Stop being sarcastic and help me finished off the crabs. They are expensive, ok?" he said.

Ya Ya Ya Ya....just buy me crab dinner sombong already. As if I can't pay the dinner myself...never mind, I let him pay....he is the boyfriend, what...boyfriend pay for girlfriend....that's the way it should be, especially if he wants to be so macho and don't want to lose an argument.

Anyway, we didn't finish the crab. Too full. Just tapau them home.

  2. Woohoo. Thanks for sharing your romantic dining experience with the cute and fiesty Chinaman. Don't let him bully you. Show some claws sometimes. But you should know better la. Your name is Ai what which translates to Love/Kasih. Anyway if Hudud laws were to come into the picture I doubt people of different races can still hang out like this in a restaurant that sells beer, etc.

  3. Any fantasy from someone who sleeps on a mattress on the floor...sigh....kalau mahu bohong, bohonglah betul2. Can have a boyfriend who can afford crabs for dinner but can't afford to buy you a bed or a proper working desk ? Or aircon your room ?

  4. Kuching Besar:

    Go for dinner must also bring up the politics of frugality. Yes, I bought LGE a very expensive dinner at the Shangri la. I also paid for his holidays. Yes, I am rich, and am willing to share my riches with those who share my vision of equality and transparency. Sorry for you lah, you are nothing more than an opportunistic lackey who can see the germs from across the river but can't see the elephant in front of your eyes.

  6. You know, Big Cat, you are the typical reason why people are so angry with the BN gomen. You watch for opposition "mistakes" in the hundreds or in the thousands of ringgit. You ignore BN mistakes that go in the hundreds of millions or billions of ringgit. You try to show a pluralistic view of BN by claiming that you have a Chinaman boyfriend that drinks beer and wine in your presence, while you hentam Dong Zong for having a protest rally for better Chinese education standards.

    By the way, when you kiss your boyfriend after his beer and wine, will that be haram because of the alcohol fumes ? Ada khalwat tak ?

  8. Just to say that how lucky we are living in Malaysia. The food is cheap and plentiful. The weather is nice, hot and rainy at times though. No eartquakes, no typhoons no strong winds. Water and electricity and internet is all there. There are good highways and petrol is cheap. Law enforcement is good, crimes are there lah even in London, New York, Paris there are worse crimes. Tourists and foreigners comes and many refused to go back
    Its the people like Anwar Ibrahim and his stooges bring in George Soros to destabilse and colonise this country. The same Anwar said this country is bangkrupt many years ago but today we are not and we are still alright. The Fuckatan people is so jealous of his own country's success
    Let us not even think of giving him even a term to rule this country becos just like Sgor, Penang Kedah how sorry and bad the states become after they govern. Promises were never kept

  9. You can conclude that most chinese weather well to do,middle class or poor are mostly supporters of DAP.You dont have to guess.Only those chinese cronies will support MCA. Most chinese are ready for change and we are just waiting for our Malay brothers to wake up and bring changes to our beloved country before it is squeeze dry by the present government.Dont believe me..Just look at Singapore and compare with Sabah and Sarawak..

    3. At this moment,we dont care if DSAI ever becomes PM or not.We just need to change.DSAI is just a catalyst but not the solution.Just look at BN..after Najib..who you have?..their list really look scary..not only malay leaders..other BN parties leaders too are rather pathetic.Look at PR..If you take out DSAI..there are so many quality and honest leaders weather malay or chinese that we can feel comfortable with.We dont have to migrate down under.If we have good leaders we can do better then down under.Of course you wont miss me here but I will miss Malaysia cos this is such a great country and I am very proud of being a Malaysian and would rather die here then migrate to another country.And please dont accused me of being a PR cybertrooper..I am just an ordinary voter wishing for a good and honest government..If Najib can come out with great policies and have good leaders in his party,I will vote BN..But sadly..their time has kinda run out.

    If (and only if you get married to this Chinese guy) would you make your wedding reception Malay style or Chinese style. Malay style- very lavish , invite everybody, left and right, top and bottom, Chinese Indian Punjabis friends etc. Or Chinese style- 50-50 share and invitations very selective!

  11. Depends what you mean by oppressed, BC. But there’s an easy way to see for yourself. One day, you and your Chinaman may start a family and if you do, just make sure that your children are referred to as ethnically Chinese in all official documents. When your kid comes home from school and says they’d like to be PM one day, just smile and explain that no matter how talented they become or how much they love their country and their countrymen, no non-malay can ever be PM, so tell them to set their sights lower. When your kids get called foreigners in their own land, not just by other kids but also by adults, just smile at them and explain that it’s true. When your kids ask what is left after they accept ketuanan Melayu , just smile and show them that the antonym for supremacy is subservience. When your kid comes back with great results in their exams and says they want to do this or that course, just smile and explain that they won’t get a place in a local university in the course they want, even with great results, because others come first. When your kid grows up and goes into business and bids for government work and gets told, quietly but firmly, that they need a malay partner if they wish to get work, or that they need to give kickbacks, jut smile and explain that’s the way life is. And when your kids wonder what you did to make their life better, just smile and ask them to eat some more crab.

    3. hehe.. dont forget to tell your children how Lim Goh Tong sail in an old tongkang with only 10 ringgit. how he bribed the Melayu so that he can have a gambling casino in a foreign land.

      And dont forget to tell the story how that the UMNO president turned out to be a tamil s/o Iskandar Kutty or the DPM he choose also has a father who speaks fluent Tamil hehe..

      Dont forget to tell the story of hang tuah, and the Malay sultanates. How they were attacked by the Catholic Portuguese.

      And what about showing them pictures of your grand dad in the chinese new villagers surrounded by barb wires?

      But what the vernacular chinese school should teach how to be bumiputeras in China where they have Chinese PM and speak mandarin all day long and have road signs of cow street in chinese.

      where teresa kok can find a chinese husband or hannah dont have to let masuk india with so many chinese men around.

    Off the topic

    Re to Rafizi effort to reduce the price of cars in Malaysia.

    Before the 1997 crisis, to buy a car is like buying a house. Anwar being the Finance minister at that time never bother to ask the bank to reduce the interest rate in order to ease the rakyats burden in buying car.

    Remember then, the rate was around 7-8% and with salary of an average of RM 1500-2000 for a middle income person, it was a big commitment.

    Interestingly, at the same time Mahathir was pushing the national car project, first proton and later Perodua.

    Unfortunately Mahathir seems didnt notice that somenone was trying to sabotage his ideas of owning a kereta rakyat for each family.

    And now Raizi come out with this great ideas but I think he should refer to his master first for what the master did before 1997.

    The interest rate for vehicle was reduced a few years after his master was sacked from the Finance Minister post.

    Peon

    BTW - for the gen X guys, asked how much your parents have to pay monthly for a decent car compare to waht you are enjoying now. But there still a lot of room for improvement.

  14. Tak malu ke hidup dengan ihsan orang lain. If your Chinaman loves his beer and wine, he will know what he is going to miss if he ever take the dreaded decision. Masuk Melayu ok, but masuk the other thing...

  15. I honestly think that you are a sponge. You have a dumbass Chinaman as a boyfriend who from your writing is being used by you as a sponge. You have a RM300 room and a 20 year old road hog. You cannot be earning "minah karan's" salary. I cannot imagine what expenses you actually have save for maybe some expenses for your retarded brother. Even then, I am pretty sure Jabatan Kebajikan or Majlis Agama Islam or Pejabat Zakat is there readily to ofer help to a Malay.

    So here is my point, the Chinaman is your wallet. Sampai makan pun tanya dia belanja. Wang kamu buat apa? Itu pun makan tempat tak halal. Berkat ke? Begitu beriya-iya nak Cina tak cebok pantat juga dan tak mahu Melayu.

    Patutlah si Cina tu bertahun-tahun tak nak kahwin kamu. Dia tak boleh lepaskan arak dan babi. Kalau masuk Islam ini semua tak boleh. So "masuk" melayu ajelah. Bagai pungguk rindukan bulanlah big cat.

  16. "Eh, we Chinese work hard la. That's why we can afford to eat like this. Nothing to do with DAP or MCA or Gerakan.”
    Did he include Umno on his phrases? Certainly NO? why no? because deep inside his heart he acknowledge, it is UMNO that what made him today, a success career personalities, but knowing the majorities of the Chinese community with their denying syndrome….what do you expect? plus the spewing venom from Dog and Pig goon?
    Denying syndrome came from cheating, manipulating, dishonest and spreading lies. give a quarter truth of stories they manipulated as though they were oppressed and trampled by the majorities.
    They cheat the deity, the lord, Mahatma Buddha, even a tokong they put an innocent snake on it.
    Now they become matthew, joseph, paul, (you can add in la sohai….) to cheat and spread a lies on behalf of Jesus Christ!!!
    Ptuih go back to your original religious la.

  17. A man is happiest when he can make his sweetheart happy. I'm sure it was BigCat who declined when her Chinaman wanted to buy her bed, air-cond, desk, dressing table and maybe even new car. Makan makan ok la. Makan together happy together. Nothing wrong what.

  19. Those commenters above that focus on BC's supposedly spartan room, chinese bf and all her other statements in her fluff seem to be taking her words at face value. For all we know, BC might be a professional lady living comfortably on a good salary with a Malay bf to boot.

    Or she might be a guy.

    1. You are absolutely right. She is more likely to be a paid UMNO blogger living in sin with some Malay bf but who won't get caught because of her connections. The spartan room she showed might just be her maid's room.....
