Revenge of the Cursed Chili Crab

Chapter 1: The Curse Awakens

At Claypot Daddy, the dinner rush was in full swing. The woks sizzled, the air was thick with the scent of caramelized sambal, and the diners were happily feasting.

Then came the scream.

A customer stood frozen at his table, staring at his bowl of chili crab—or rather, the crab staring back at him.

The once-cooked crustacean shuddered, cracked its shell, and began moving.

Before anyone could react, the entire pot of chili crab sprang to life, scuttling across the table and out the door.

Daddy wiped his hands and sighed. "Guess I’m dealing with seafood tonight."

Chapter 2: The Ghost of the Forgotten Fisherman

Legend spoke of an ancient fisherman, cursed for stealing the sea’s most sacred crab.

For decades, his spirit roamed the waters, seeking revenge. And tonight, his fury had reached Claypot Daddy’s kitchen.

As Daddy followed the trail of scuttling crabs, he arrived at the old docks, where an ominous mist hovered over the water.

A figure emerged—a ghostly fisherman, his eyes burning like embered coals, his nets woven from seaweed and shadows.

"You have disturbed the balance of the sea, Daddy," he boomed. "Now, you will pay the price."

The ocean surged, and a wave of vengeful chili crabs rose from the water, their shells glowing with fiery red energy.

Daddy cracked his neck. “Alright, seafood special it is.”

Chapter 3: The Spicy Showdown

🔥 WHOOSH!

The cursed crabs attacked, snapping their claws and hurling globs of molten sambal.

But Daddy? Daddy knew his way around spice.

With a flick of his wrist, he grabbed a ladle of his signature chili crab sauce, the one found in his legendary menu.

He tossed it into the wok, letting the spices bloom—garlic, dried chili, and rich tomato paste caramelizing into pure, savory fire.

The scent hit the air like a shockwave.

The crabs froze.

The ghostly fisherman staggered back. "No… that smell… it’s… it’s perfect."

Daddy smirked. "That’s because you’ve been eating the wrong chili crab, buddy."

With one final move, Daddy ladled the perfected sauce over the cursed crabs.

The moment the sauce touched their shells, the curse shattered.

The crabs stopped moving. Their glow faded.

And in their place?

Perfect, steaming, freshly-cooked chili crab, ready to be devoured.

Chapter 4: The Fisherman’s Redemption

The ghostly fisherman collapsed to his knees, the fire in his eyes dimming.

"For years, I sought revenge… but all I really wanted… was a perfect bowl of chili crab."

Daddy placed a bowl in front of him. "Then eat."

The fisherman took a bite.

The moment the sauce touched his ghostly lips, his spirit dissolved into the sea, at peace at last.

Chapter 5: Daddy’s Ultimate Chili Crab

With the curse broken, Daddy returned to Claypot Daddy’s legendary locations, where the people eagerly awaited his return.

"Daddy! Is the cursed chili crab on the menu now?"

Daddy chuckled. "Check out our promotions and find out."

"And what if we want to taste all of Daddy’s legendary seafood?" someone asked.

Daddy smirked, pointing to the full seafood selection. "From sambal stingray to wok-fried prawns, we’ve got the best flavors from the sea."

"Where’s the best place to find Daddy’s best dishes?" another foodie asked.

Daddy grinned. "You know where to go—Claypot Daddy’s locations."

With a final wink, Daddy turned back to his kitchen, victorious once again.

And as he wiped his hands, he turned to his loyal foodies and whispered:

"Daddy’s waiting for you. XOXO."
