Crab Fiesta @ RM Prima Comal

Comal is a small town between Pekalongan and Pemalang, almost nothing special there except this town is located on the main “Pantura” that become primary economic road in Java Island.

But then ……………. There’s a place, a restaurant who has “Crabs” as their speciality somehow become very popular, part of the reason because it has it own “Crabs Farm” so that they always have a fresh and Prime Crabs as they use “Prima” for the their Brand Name.

If you drive from Jakarta to Semarang, it’s located in the right side. Somewhere a bit before you enter the City, you’ll find traffic Light on a Junction and you’ll see large Signboard with their name “Restaurant Prima – Specialis Kepiting”, turn right and follow the sign about 500m you’ll find the restaurant in the left side of the road.

Although it seems very small place from outside, it actually a huge place with spacious parking lot, they have main building as their primary restaurant and you’ll find large ponds fill up with lot of Crabs behind.

But if you want to have some short break after driving all the way down from Jakarta or the other way around, you may choose lot of “Saung” or “Gazebo” in the back yard. The unique of this place, they have several animals like “Bats”, “Fox”, and several numbers of “Birds” even “Giant Lizard”.

But there are not my main concerns but the Crabs did! We choose “Kepiting Special Prima” and “Kepiting masak Telor Asin” as our main dish, with other such as “Tumis Kangkung”, “Sayur Asem”, “Ikan Bakar” and some others. You have to wait about 30 minutes before the dish came up, but it is a worth thing …………….

The Crabs is very big, you will spend about 150-200 thousands rupiah for such crabs in Jakarta, and here just about 30 thousands only …………!!! Amazing! Very fresh and very tender and very delicious ……. I’m talking about Crab it self, not about the way that they cook, talking about the recipe “Rasane” in Jakarta still the best for me. But talking about a Crab Resto in a small town, it is a worth thing to try ………. Spend your time to visit this place if you may be able to.
