'Spanner Crab Spaghetti' ($24) consisted of spanner crab meat, tomato, chilli and basil.. Served in a deep dish plate, hot bottom based, the portion of it was massive which in the end was quite troubling to not be able to finish the dish..
There were big chunks of spanner crab meat in the dish which was nice to see that they have used, instead of those thinly sliced or pulled. The tomato based sauce was kept simple which really brought out the taste of all the elements in it, the crab, the chunky tomato, the chilli was not strong but every fork full of spaghetti, you would be able to taste the slight chilli..
For those who are not familiar with Baja sauce, it is simply a seasoned spicy mayonnaise which Jalapenos or peppers may be use in order for their spicyness and is just right for even the slaw itself. There was a dollop of cream on top of the baja sauce which can be mixed in together to make it a creamy Baja sauce..
