The Men Still Don't Get It

We ladies of (temporary) leisure went out for another round of dim sum, this time at Ah Yat. My Aunt saw that there was a 50% discount for dim sum there and rounded us up for another tai-tai-esque afternoon.

Asher was sound asleep in the car when I arrived, and I couldn't bear to wake him, so I took him and car seat altogether! That is exactly the reason why we bought this car seat - it's portable! :) It was great cos Asher continued to nap for another 30-40mins or so till the end of our meal!







Meanwhile, Aidan was wide awake and staring at all the food we were eating. He got to see the yummy baskets of har gao, siew mai, coffee pork ribs (which were excellent!), chicken feet, char siew bao, silver fish, fried tou fu cubes, etc etc. The portions were quite small (probably because of the offer), but that allowed us to sample more of the menu.

Ah Yat is a great place to bring kids cos of all the fish tanks! Aidan and Asher had a good time looking at all the fish and crustaceans. Actually, I like looking at them too haha. I found it interesting to see how they separated some crustaceans, but kept others together. Like, how is it the Australian King Crab and the Alaskan King Crab can live happily in the same tank without fighting? Add to that giant lobsters too. They all didn't bother one another (although there was a noticeable gap between the lobsters and the Alaskan King).

The other interesting thing was to see who had their claws tied up. The Jumbo crabs could be more aggresive and may fight more often cos their claws were tied up. In contrast, the flower crabs were free to move their claws around. My mum had one theory - tying up the claws was purely function. Since Jumbo crabs are more popular, tying their claws up could make it easier to pick them up. I shall see if I can ask one of the seafood restaurant people one day, just for interest's sake :)
