If you going to eat immediately, you can add in the bee hoon, taste the soup
and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
If you are not eating immediately or wanted to use the crab stock for steamboat.
pick out all the crabs once it turns red. Pick up the ginger, garlic, onion, spring onion
as we wanted to keep the soup clean for steamboat base.
only add the crabs back into the steamboat when eating. Didnt want the
crabs to soak inside the stock and lose it sweetness.
