You start typing like one?

^ you ruined the joke.

congrats on your first fail!

I see your fail, and give you an angry "why the fuck you did you fail me?" fail.

No failbacks.

i give you both crabs

Where'd you get your crabs from - the Red Sea? ;)

some restaurant would do it but you have to pay. My unlce bought some shrip and crab and ask this restaurant to cook it. Is fine but I think in the end they charge him for it though.

the red sea aka the ocean that contains a very high reading of rusted metals

this thread sucks.

because you're here

Btw, I'm not planning on eating AT the restaurant... I just want them to cook it for me and I take it to go. I guess I wasn't clear?

I would think its totally weird if I was eating there and brought food for them to cook. Haha

^ actually taking out is weird, eating there is normal if you wanan bring your food over

i was going to say that me and my family have done that before bring seafood for the restraurant to cook and even specify how we would like it to be prepare. Of course you HAVE to eat their because they expect you to spend on other dishes, drinks and what not. Some also charge a little fee if you bring in your own things, a family friends hunts and bring in bear paws and deer meat to the restraurant to be cook all the time.

if you are going to take it away than i don't think any restraurant would do it for you. but than again if you are loaded and offer the right price i don't see why not. I think you are betting off to ask a chinese relative or frds that can cook to cook it for you.

Yeah, I dunno about take out, that's a lot more weird.

Yeah, take out is super weird

just eat in

yes if you have money or know the ppl at the restaurant

Mind explaining why takeout is less weird than eating in?

If you eat in they are at least making money off you on drinks, maybe appetizers and sides. Taking it to go eliminates all of that.

sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone if people do this.

I just would never think to bring food in to a restaurant to eat in and have them cook it there for me...
I just wanted some nice crab to take home.

sorry if i offended anyone. That wasn't my intention :s

as long as you know the chef and they are willing to do it for you. I've brought stuff to be cooked by the chef at Happy Valley on Broadway/Lougheed all the time. Actually, did that last week....lol

High end ones won't, but the smaller places will most likely do it for you. But it's really easy to cook them! you literally just steam them and much away! You can just do western style with the salted melted butter YUM! Recipies are very simple and easy to follow online if you need the sauce.

^
dude thats like the most boring way to eat your seafood. yes i know all the western restaurant does it like that, boil in salt water and dip it in melted butter.


Once you taste the asian style, you will never go back. Cream butter, pan fried, deep fried, steamed with garlic etc

Not quite, people dine out for the experience of getting food served to them that is professionally prepared.

You bring ingredients cause:

• You got fresh ingredients either from hookups, hunting or fishing. Stuff the restaurant doesn't stock because they don't have a regular market for your ingredient. (Important distinction: Ingredients != Food).
• Either you're you're too newb or lazy and they got the skills to prep it right. (If you have lively hopping prawns and stew them, I will find your house and end your horrible affront to the culinary arts).

[quote=unit]if you want it done malaysian style, you can get it made at seri malaysia.
hes a great cook but doesnt get enough business to stock crabs, even though its on his menu.[quote]

Just added to my must try list.
Any recommendations on what is a "must try"?



Mugen,
Like my previous post described, I've done it at Sun Sui Wah.
I just don't know if it's normally accepted practice for the public or if it's just cause my family has has clout with them.
Either way, there is likely a minimum order.

:twirleye: DUDE, Lols wut? :eek:

I recently brought in my clutch assembly to my local mechanic to take a nut off because I didn't have an impact wrench.
That way, I wouldn't end up taking up room and a full bay.

So yes, I guess I get where you are coming from, but....
Unfortunately, what you are suggesting is NOT how "bringing-ingredients-into-a-chinese-restaurant" has evolved.
It comes from restaurants being created around a skilled chef/owner who likes their patrons, but can't afford to stock everything on the market.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of farmers and hunters who can farm/hunt, but can't cook worth a damn, but are regulars at the restaurant...
You get the picture i guess?


No offense, but are you white?
This is something that's evolved in chinese culture like "corkage" has in western culture.
Maybe you are totally white washed, so we'll let it slide.

On the other hand, just for posteritiy's sake, let me mention that I discussed with one of my whitey-revscene-friends today.
Conclusion: He thinks you are nuts. :p



I disagree, I think both methods have their time and place.
If it's mediocre lobster or cheapy crab, I'll douse cook in the garlic-cream sauce. I just <3 that stuff, I wish it came in a bottle :D. I'd put it on everything. :drool
But it will cover up the quality of complexity and "sweetness" of fresh seafood.


But when it comes to fresh off the boat (or out of the family's crab tank), I will steam them and serve with some warmed-to-liquid roasted garlic butter.



Sorry for this long post, but I'm a bit of a food nerd.
;)



Also, thanks to OP, so much lols! :D

must try: fish or prawns in sambal sauce, beef rendang, green beans

you can bring whatever u like
:D
