Tamarind crab

After a long hard struggle we managed to escape the same-y food of the guided tour long enough for this delicious seafood lunch in the outskirts of Halong City.

The tamarind crab pictured here wasn't the best crab I'd ever had, its flesh a little stringy, but the tamarind sauce is a brilliant invention, sour, chile-hot, pleasantly sticky, and pairing beautifully with the richness of the crab meat.

Ngon!
