This is the first restaurant in Darra inala area I had been introduced to. I became instantly addicted to the tropical Asian atmosphere. It’s like you’re in Ho chi min. Also the unbelievably cheap mud crab! Eat a crab in a fancy seafood restaurant in the city you’re bound to pay 100 bucks straight up. Here, it’s 53 per kilo. I was used to paying around 40 a kilo but seems prices have inflated a bit. The owner must have changed 5 times since my first visit and they now take eftpos. Crab tasted ok. But not wonderfully fresh. The brains taste really sweet when it’s fresh but this time I found it to be slightly bitter. The noodles for the chow mein also slightly too crunchy, not absorbing the gravy enough.
I actually travelled over to addiction restaurant next to the Ipswich highway but was burned down… Must have served unfresh crab to the wrong man.
Hey Taro,
What a coincidence – I get my crab fix here too!
I have to say the sauce isn’t as good as what you might get in Malaysia, but when I went, the crabs were pretty fresh and huge (we tend to get smaller ones in Malaysia imported from Sri Lanka)
Hi Taro san,
What we call “kani miso” is actually not their brain but their liver. Crabs do not have that much of brains that we can munch on.
