Chili Crab

HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE LOCAL FOOD

What started as a dish purportedly sold from a pushcart in the 1950s has now become a star in the global food scene. One of the earliest versions of chilli crab— mud crabs stir-fried with tomato and chilli sauce—is still on the menu of Roland Restaurant in Marine Parade Central. A more modern and widely common recipe these days includes sambal (chilli paste), eggs and tomato paste for a rich, umami taste that’s finger-licking good. Most restaurants offer Sri Lankan crabs and there is also a more deluxe option of Alaskan king crabs. Diners can order mantous (fried or steamed buns), to dip into the gravy. From S$30 per crab (depending on weight).
