Today, I and my husband went to Surrey for a visit. I used to live in this city during my university years. I went shopping, went to groceries and did lots of stuffs there. We haven't been back after I graduated. During this short trip before picking up kids from school, we went back to the grocery store that I used to go. They built a new building beside the old one and it expanded. We were so excited. This supermarket is mainly served Vietnamese, some Indonesia, and some Thai groceries and ingredients. We bought a crab soup base and a pack of frozen swimming crab there. Fresh crabs are very expensive now. $12.99 or more per pound. This frozen crab package contains 6 small crabs. $11.99 per box. And tonight, I will add tofu, tofu puffs (豆腐卜), dried small shrimps (蝦米), egg and tomoatoes as well as crabs to make a crab soup.
Ingredients: serves 3-4
