Somboon Seafood: Lacklustre Curry Crab

Sure, seafood is considered pretty cheap in Thailand. However, I don't think their curry crab really lives up to the hype. Or maybe I just went to a branch of Somboon Seafood that did not cook it as well as the original branch.

The Thai curry crab felt almost like a poor imitation of Singapore's chili crab. Their curry sauce was mostly thick like a gravy with hints of egg mixed in it, and did not really taste like curry. Or maybe I'm too used to the flavourful Indian curry that has a strong aroma and taste. The curry crab was also served lukewarm which is pretty questionable. I'll stick to Singapore's chili crab.

One thing that I liked about the stir fried morning glory (kangkong) is that it was spicy and aromatic because of the onions and garlic. Probably on par with the sambal chili version that Singaporeans love.

The crab rolls served here taste like Singapore's ngoh hiang, but with a tougher fried skin.
