Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Mad Crab


Carmina had been craving crab and joked about being mad if she couldn’t satisfy her craving in the Philippines. In truth, she had been longing for crab and shrimp, which she hadn’t eaten in a long time. Her mom, the only other person who loves eating crab, mentioned she was tired of it but wouldn’t mind packing some shrimp to take home. 

Carmina decided to order on her own and discovered Mad Crab Philippines on Facebook. The process involved leaving a message requesting the menu, receiving an order form, and filling it out with details such as:

Example:  

Facebook Name: Carmina LS  

Cellphone Number:  

Address & Landmark on Waze:  

Preferred Pick-Up Date: May 9, 2021  

Preferred Time of Pick-Up: 11:30 AM  

Orders: 750g Crab & 500g Shrimp  

Crab Gender: Half Male, Half Female  

Flavor: Signature Butter and Garlic  

Include grams, gender, and flavor preferences. Once the order is finalized, inquire about payment methods. Carmina found GCash convenient and paid PHP 1,759.00 ($35.18). Proof of payment, like a screenshot, must be sent to Mad Crab Philippines to process the order.

Though delivery wasn’t provided, customers could arrange their own by giving the rider’s name and plate number for verification. Carmina’s order arrived in a secure plastic container, taped on the sides to ensure its safety.


This is an A+ for me, and here's why I rate Mad Crab Philippines so highly. The shrimp are huge, perfectly cooked, and the shells are easy to peel by hand. The crab has plenty of algae, which is a bonus for those who enjoy that part of the crab. 

The crabs are not small—they're big, packed with meat, and the butter garlic flavor is delicious without being overpowering or overwhelming. 

Carmina doesn’t eat it herself and passes it on to someone else. She even called her mom to rave about the crab and shrimp. Someone who didn’t initially want crab ended up loving the taste and kept asking where I had placed my order.
