this isn't it..
it's those mangrove tree-climbing crabs, soaked in dark soy sauce,
garlic and chillis...
then after a few days, taken out, chopped up and served in vinegar
and lime, chilli and shallots..
yum..
btw, it's raw and pickled... eaten with teochew porridge..
i think if you ask the teochew senior citizens, they'd know.. it's
called 'Buar Kee'
