Most Filipinos are not very fond of Vietnamese or Thai dishes because of the strong spicy taste. But in fairness most of their dishes are tasty like this garlic roasted crab. There is a Vietnamese restaurant in the U.S. called Thang Long (means “rising dragon”, an old name for Hanoi) where this signature dish came from. Nobody minds the price tag of this dish maybe because it was so delicious. Maybe what makes it so delicious is the kind of crab they are using for this dish, which is a Dungeness crab but we have our own mudcrabs or locally known as “alimango” that can be an ideal substitute.
