Spicy crabs in Causeway Bay

Went for some famous spicy crabs in Causeway Bay. There were a number of restaurants to choose from but we went into the following one.



Clams in black bean and chilli sauce.



"Golden shrimps". Covering the shrimps is deep fried yolks of preserved duck eggs. This is REALLY good.



The famous spicy crabs. I insisted on ordering a mild version so it wasn't spicy enough. v_v



This is how big the claw was.



Baked oysters in Port wine



Fish head stew



This is called "Flying vegetables". Loved its name.



Chicken knees. Not as good as what we have in Vancouver, though.



Stir-fry eels in XO sauce.



The food was quite good. And the service was decent. We walked by some other ones and they seemed to be playing the "fame" card and focusing on the decor of the restaurant. One restaurant actually closed down its old store and escorted customers to the new restaurant. Lost the authenticity and history of the famous spicy crabs...
