1. First you take the cooked crab and place it on the table.
2. Take the hammer provided.
3. Take nice aim and hit the sweet spot with just the right force.
Hit it at a wrong angle and the crab may fly off the table to the ground. Of course you can invoke the 5-seconds rule if you got a thick skin and don't care what other patrons might think. However, in the worst-case scenario, it may fly onto the head of the person at the neighbouring table who may not be your average normal mild natured Malaysian.
Hit it too hard and you crush it into a thousand pieces flying everywhere. Leave your silk shirt costing a few hundred bucks at home if you are not skilled.

You can see that eating a crab the Malaysian way, is an art and a science.
ps. I am a vegetarian accompanying omnivorous family members.

Crabs and prawns and oysters too are probably what kept me away from turning vegetarian. Hahaha. They are too irresitible.
Well, I hope you don't mind me adding to one of your steps...
Step 2: Take a hammer provided; or if it's not and you've got a Nokia 3210, use it.
