Hairy Crabs

Corbett | October 14, 2007 12:08 AM

A friend was in town today and we all went out to Yangcheng Hu in Kunshan for their famous Dazha Hairy Crabs. Chinese love these little guys. I'm not a big crab guy, but I'm always in for a road trip. When we got there Crab City loomed out of the skyline, and was pretty much a parking lot with a row of crab restaurants along the murky water of Yangcheng Lake. We picked out our restaurant, picked out some crabs, and started up with huang jiu with ginger. I kept trying not to think of how disgusting the water was or what B told me when he called during the meal that the crabs were full of the cancer causing antibiotic nitrofuran. Why mess up a perfectly decent Chinese excursion in to the country with a cross straits issue?

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
