I know that the simple yet delicious way to enjoy the fresh sweet taste of crab meats are just boild it and make some dipping sauce. But, here in Indonesia, the favorite way to enjoy it is to cook it with a hot sauce that called 'saus padang'. You can easily get this menu at seafood restaurant or tent. 😙😋

In other way, if you didn't get crab spawn, you can add more water and adding mixture eggs into the sauce.
