Mandurah Crab Festival on 17 March 2013

When KW asked us to visit the Mandurah Crab Festival on Sat., I think Mandurah is a bit far to travel but all of us are quite excited about the MKR cooking demo. Hence, we decided to start the trip on Sunday morning!

Mandurah is a good place for water sports. We reached the west foreshore and saw some water ski and boats around. Parents brought their infants and child for nice Sunday outing.

I never expect this is a huge event, bigger than the Chili Festival in Fremantle and festivals in most of the suburb. It was very happening with  lots of foods stalls, handicrafts and workshops.

Selling cold drinks and ice cream received good response from the crowd, good business.

Umbrella painting : you normally see this activity in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The little girl was very concentrating in her artwork.

Instead of drawing your own portrait, may consider on your pet's portrait. This one looks awesome, isn't it?

I have been enjoying crabs in Malaysia and China too, but JY advised me not to have the same expectation in Perth as the Aussie cook the crab differently. Yup, we try the crab with simple way cooking ( steaming ), eat with vinegar only AND it tastes DELICIOUS! The meat is tender and sweet.

Hmm...finger licking good.

This crab dish looks so yummy but we didn't go for it as the queue was too long.

Water sport was one of the competition in conjunction with this festival. To me, the highlight of the carnival was not the water sport or the crab, it was the extreme game competition that show as below:

 I believe they must have been going through very hard training before they could perform such a stunt action.

So, the Malaysian government may consider to provide this kind of platform to all the "kaki rempit" and minimize their "stunt" performance on the road/ highway.

Mandurah has the beautiful scenery and the locals/ visitors could enjoy a relaxing afternoon simply by resting at the foreshore and chit chatting with friends.

To end this post, here is one of my favorite memory about the lovely outing at Mandurah ( a sunny and breezing afternoon):

I saw these white birds often at Riverside Drive yet don't know its name.
