First dates and crabs

listening to natasha bedingfield's 'Soulmate'...

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

who knows how to love you without being told

somebody tell me why I'm on my own

if there's a soulmate for everyone

We had an inexplicable craving for crabs on Sunday, so we went to Joo Chiat for some.
If you happen to drop by Kim's Place, go for the black pepper crab! Big ass crustacean cooked in sweet, sticky black sauce. Throw in a generous amount of black pepper and serve the dish in a claypot to retain the heat. Ooh la la, I'm dreaming crabs in the office now.

Anyway, we started discussing about first dates and crabs.

K: Imagine black speckles in between the teeth.

F: Using all ten fingers to hold the food is a turn-off too. (looks at SA and me) Okay, you pass. Less than 6 is fine.

E: I think eating prawns can be just as bad.

All: Why?

E: I can't stand it if my date starts sucking on the prawn head and makes those 'sooook soook' noises.

All: *collective groan* Eew...

F: But look, it could be an indication of your date's skills at something else.

Silence for five seconds, followed by convulsive laughter from everyone at the table.
