Big Bowl of Facehuggers

The official national pass time of Singaporeans is eating. There are absolutely no good reasons not to eat well in Singapore. Probably the most established signature dish of the city would be Chilli Crab, which is a hard shell crab cooked in a thick tomato and chili sauce. A good contender for that would be Black Pepper Crab, which I finally was able to add to my been there/done that -list only this week.

Hard shell crab cooked and served as a whole can be a little intimidating dish to dig in at first. I actually do remember searching youtube for how to eat crab correctly videos before trying one myself. The localites offer a word of comfort saying that if my shirt (why it always just happens to be that white shirt?) remains spotless after eating chilli crab, I haven't been doing it right.

Apparently I did not now the true meaning of intimidating looking food. When I was leaving the sea food restaurant I looked what other choices they had to offer. This half a meter long, alien facehugger -themed animal (?) is probably not going to be hitting my plate any time soon.
Bird or a plane?
