DJDQIt was too cold in February to eat at a food stall, so we had to eat indoors. The whole food street was empty. I read a comment that two girls couldn't finish it. Well, maybe it's because we are northern girls. We not only ate it all easily, but also added some stir-fried vegetables. It's really not a big portion, after all, it's all shells.
The shrimps were quite fresh, but why did they throw in the oysters grilled with garlic? They were all covered with garlic that had been there for a long time. It was too unrefined. The crabs were very, very small and not very fresh.
