Under Bridge Spicy Crabs - Wanchai

I came here on July 1st. There were so many people outside for the parade demonstration. I cannot fathom why people would torture themselves in this heat by walking around for HOURS. The kind of sweating in HK is not the same as back in NYC; it's STICKY here. it's so humid that sometimes you can't breathe under the sun! the moment you step outside, you sweat like HELL, and it's the worst feeling when you sweat out of your butt.  anyway, i am not sure if they can actually accomplish anything by walking around for HOURS...but hey, who am i to judge? i rather spend my time in a nice air conditioned room, filled with delicious food.

So I wandered into Under Bride Spicy Crabs restaurant at Wanchai. It's apparently very famous here. A lot of tourists from other countries all come here. I saw a family from Korea and a group of business men from Japan. The restaurant looks new and apparently it has 4 levels!!! that's pretty big considering it's located in Wanchai!

We ordered their famous fried rice, and their signature Under Bridge Spicy Crabs (Mild Spicy) and also clams. I have to point out that despite the fact that the food was very tasty, I felt cheated...the crabs are sold at "market price". we asked for the actual market price for one crab, our waiter said the under bridge spicy crab was $488 HKD for one and he emphasized "ONLY $488, nothing lower". half way through  my meal, i heard the waiter telling another table that their crab is $380HKD. then again, to another table at $380. I did not appreciate this act at all, normally i would have pointed it out and give that guy a piece of my mind if this was back in NYC.... anyway, just to be more careful! i thought it was a bit expensive for the crabs, but still acceptable. i will have to try its neighboring restaurants to compare.

The signature Under Bridge spicy crab is placed underneath a enormous pile of garlic, scallions, and onions. it was delicious. the crab meat was soft and white. hands down, it was one of a kind and one of the best crabs i have ever tasted. however, i just cannot forget the audacity of that f$#king lying waiter. i don't think i can go back there any time soon. besides, there are MANY crabs restaurants on the same block! I can't wait to try them!
