While I don't know how to cook live crabs (I am afraid to kill them too), I certainly can make a crab bento :D haha

Mr Crab was made from ketchup rice for its body, deep fried pasta sticks for its legs, red sausages for the crab pincers, cheese/ham/seaweed/pasta sticks for its eyes, seaweed for its mouth, egg sheet for the X-mark on its body.
I was also happy that I could use my deco fish furikake (Japanese rice topping) in this bento, do you see those tiny fishes? They are edible!! :)
The side dishes were sauteed buta-shougayaki with mushrooms, broccoli, lettuce and butter asari clams. I only started eating asari clams (thanks to Japanese food) in the last 1 year or so. Was really happy to find some really fresh airflown ones from meidiya supermarket. I heated some butter and garlic in the pan, and cooked the asari clams, seasoned with dashi, sake and some soy sauce :) yumms~
Today's bento was packed in Magewappa classic bento box from Bento&co.
