This, dear friends, is the picture of SIN!
Take the foot of a pig. Steam it until the meat is soft and tender. Then deep-fry lightly just till the skin is crispy.
There's a lot more to the recipe than this, but this is as much as I can figure out.
Steaming cooks and softens the meat without leaching out the flavour and juices in the meat, like what happens if you stew the meat.
Deep-frying alone will harden and dry the meat, and often dissolve away much of the fat in the meat.
But a combination of the two creates a miraculous dish of soft tender meat with juicy fat and crispy skin. It's like an orgy in your mouth.
And it only costs less than a dinner for one at TGIF. Not to mention that the restaurant also has crabs at RM13 /kg.
Business is mad, there's a specialised cook for this dish. And probably a whole production line for sorting, gutting, cleaning, and cooking crabs. The restaurant spans across 3-4 ground floor shop-lots.
You can find this restaurant at these approximate co-ordinates: N2 deg 18.320' E111deg 50.875'. You may GoogleEarth it, or head there with a GPS.
Mere walking distance from my parents' house in Sibu.
With this promise of a taste orgasm, maybe now I can convince some friends to come visit me in Sibu some time...
