Glorified Gluttony
When you ask a singaporean local, what’s good there, they will mention chilli crab along with the other char kwe tiau, carrot cakes, hainam chicken rice and fish head curry. I had the privilage to travel to singapore for few days and i did just what you have guessed, culinary trip and tried what’s good in town.
So, here’s some of my post… will update according to the mood of my internet connection (i’m sure people in indo truly understand what i’m going thru)
Chilli Crab at Jumbo Restaurant, Katong East Coast.
To get there: stop at closest MRT station at Bedok then catch a cab
They have a lot of restaurants that serve chilli crab at East Coast, Nosignboard is one of the famous one, known for its chilli crab and expensive price (they open one at Pacific Place too… ground floor). Also, Long Beach and they open one in Senayan City basement, also quite expensive.
But hey, we are talking about crabs here, seafood is expensive anyway… i pick the least expensive one. How’s that?
Some people love crab roe, some say it’s too high in cholesterol. Too bad, i only eat crab roe.
Can i say that unfortunately i have to dissapoint you, Sedap Malam has better black pepper crab compared to this chilli crab or kepiting saus padang as we say it here in indo. I think this chilli crab is overrated and it is expensive too. It was SGD 40 for 1 kg of crab = IDR 280,000.
at least i ate it…so i won’t be curious… rite?
more posts are coming (still figuring out on how photoshop works… geez… technology.. they are supposed to help you)
