Under Bridge Spicy Crab

Hong Kong, China

The Under Bridge Spicy Crab restaurant came highly recommended. Unfortunately, Andre was in a boring mood and would only eat lemon chicken and rice.

The lemon chicken was pretty good – thankfully not nearly as sweet as the North American versions I have had before.

The rice was served with vegetables and gravy. I have not seen gravy and rice since my trip to Ireland and this dish was just as bland and boring as the Irish one.

Green beans with pork and chili were quite good.

I ordered the ‘Very Spicy’ Spicy Crab. It was 4th of the 5 spiciness levels. I will never underestimate the spice tolerance of anyone from Hong Kong ever ever ever again. A whole crab came smothered in deep fried garlic, onion and LOTS of chili flakes. It was messy, a little difficult to eat and I could hardly see from the tears in my eyes but I would definitely have this dish again.
