Comments:
This was one of the most anticipated meals of my trip - the famous Singaporean Chili crab!
Such a cool location - basically a hawker centre but for only 1 stall
If we arrived any later than we did, we would have had to wait for a table. Definitely get a reservation if you can during the dinner rush
Cracking open the claws, dipping it into the gravy - delectable heaven. Then sopping everything up with the freshly made mantous … heaven.
The showstopper though, was the salted egg squid. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. I was so full but could not let any of the squid go to waste.
Ho Fun was a little disappointing, but the crab fried rice was delicious.
We’ll definitely be back for more.
