I haven't had King Crabs before, I've only eaten the smaller ones. I'm allergic to crabs but somehow I'm fine with shrimps. But, yes, any dish with coconut milk is comforting for me. The fried sweet potatoes are my favorite too. I guess those childhood snacks I used to eat are my comfort food especially that they bring back happy childhood memories.
When you're in Mindanao, especially in the Southern part of it, where you will see king crabs, you will get sate from it. But you can't eat it every day, and you will get hypertension. Have you ever seen a crab the size of a circular basket (bilao)? You can find it in Mindanao and some parts of Visayas. You're right comfort foods bring back memories. We reminisce about our childhood days and sometimes we become nostalgic about those good old days back in town or in the house of our grandparents when grandma cooked for us. 🥹 Thanks for fetching around @bettsmarie09. God speed.
