Fatty Crab and China Town 2nd visit - Day 3 NYC

Fatty crab is over rated.  Food was decent but not worth the cost - I'd rather go to a restaurant in China Town.  I left very full but not overly satisfied. 
The coconut water they served was canned - very disappointing especially for a chef driven fresh food restaurant!  The waitress tells us that we can order appetizers and food all togehter and the chef can deliver it in any order they wish - per their thought of what goes well together. To me this says they are taking the easy way out.
We ordered the Short Ribs Rendang and Malay Fish Fry.  The Maly fish fry extremely tasty - very little fish, The dish was small strips of fried fish over a curried rice (very flavourful spicy curry).  Below is a pic of half eaten Maly fish fry.   The Short Rib Rendang was a huge dish (should be for $25) but was off - it was very sweet instead of a spicy rendang I have had in the past so it threw me off and disappointed me.  The pile of meat on top of rice with toasted coconut is the picture of the short ribs rendang.



We walked around Chinatown after this and I got hungry - it was 10:00pm and we headed into 'Singapore Cafe' after Singapore cafe.  After Singapore Cafe we walked past a chinese bakery and I decided to pickup some rost pork buns and chicken curry puff for next day's breakfast - if you've not had a chicken curry puff , give it a try it's heaven in a littly pastry :)


At Singapore Cafe I had the standard Roti Canai and Avani had Mee something (noodles with shrimp and other stuff _) very tasty - all for under $10!!
