According to The Star, during the 16th century, Sir Francis Xavier was sailing from some Indonesian islands to Malacca when he was caught in a storm. He then dipped his crucifix into the sea and pray to God to calm the raging storm. Unfortunately, the crucifix slipped from his hand and dropped into the sea. He prayed to god that he could get it back. When he landed in Malacca he saw a crab on the beach clutching the same crucifix in its claw.Sir Francis was surprised and he knelt down to retrive the cross from the crab.
He then blessed the crab and the cross appeared on the crab shell.
So, next time whenever you are eating this species of crab, remember to look out for its distinct cross mark!...........
.....errrrr, if you spot any numbers on the shell, please let me know.....so I can go and bet on some 4D or Toto....lol!

Your crab is beautiful! U knw I love crab, and I love curry, your dish is way perfect for me!;D
wow..curry crabs!
I think crab is my favourite dish, any kind, maybe because I don't have it often.
Not a fan of this kind of crab - we can hardly get these here...probably because they're not popular so nobody bothers to sell. I might or might not eat even when I came across these at hotel buffets - unless there was nothing else better to eat. Such a hassle eating crabs...and will get all dirty.
What an awesome story! The cross certainly stands out!
So far, i have not see any cross on crab...keke...
those people who see number and buy 4D/toto ... do they actually win? I never hear of any story of ppl win 4D because they saw the number in some vegetables or whatever :D
