Crab

That day, I was doing the foot reflexology for a European couples. They have just finished their three and a half hours buffet lunch in Raffles City Hotel. They said the foods were so nice that they could not resist but just eat and eat. When they talk about our Chilli crab from Sri Lanka, they mentioned they have eaten the gaint Japanese crab, and the long claw Alaska crab. Frankly, I did not know all these, this is the first time I heard about Alaska and the Japanese crab. So, I check the google, these are what I found.
