Hi there.

Thanks for visiting our website.

We are in the process of constructing the website and the restaurant. Hopefully both will be completed shortly (i.e. before September 2008).

Dancing crab is going to be a specialty Seafood Restuarant, located on the beachfront in Koh Samui Thailand.

We will have a wide variety of seafood available in a fantastic setting and some Dancing Crab special dishes. We will buy only the freshest ingredients so while we want to satisfy all tastes it might be that sometimes a certain variety is not freshly available.

We will focus on seafood, thai food, fish, oysters, prawns, tiger prawns, chilli crab, pepper crab, lobster, and mussels with our specialty sauces and soups to accompany them.

Please look out for the new restaurant in the Big Buddha area of Koh Samui

In Thai it is called "Bpuu Raam Thai"

- "Bpuu" (sometimes spelt Phoo, or Poo) means "Crab"

- Raam (sometimes spelt Ram or Rum) Thai is "Thai Dancing"

The reason we chose the name is that there is a small community of little fiddler crabs on the beach just next to the restaurant. They have a large white claw and the local Thai people call them dancing crabs because they consider it similar to the way the traditional Thai dancers hold their hands. Depending on who you talk to they are called Bpuu Manora - Manora is a variety of Southern Thai dancing or Bpuu Raam Thai which is generic for all Thai Dancing.

More info coming soon.

Cheers
