TOP THINGS TO DO & MUST SEE ATTRACTIONS IN MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE

Indulge in Singapore’s star dish, Chilli Crab, a must-try culinary delight that's become synonymous with the city-state’s vibrant food scene. This iconic dish typically features mud crabs stir-fried in a rich, tangy tomato and chili sauce, offering a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, starchy, and savory flavors. The origin of Chilli Crab dates back to the 1950s when Cher Yam Tian revolutionized the traditional crab dish by adding bottled chili sauce instead of tomato ketchup. Her creation quickly gained popularity, leading to the opening of Palm Beach Restaurant along East Coast Road. Today, Chilli Crab can be found at virtually every local seafood or zi char restaurant. Jumbo Seafood, a renowned name in Singapore's dining scene, has been serving this legendary dish at its East Coast Park location since 1987. Be aware that Chilli Crab prices can vary significantly depending on the season and crab size, as they are often listed by weight. At Jumbo Seafood, expect to pay around SGD 7.90 per 100 grams for crabs under one kilogram and SGD 8.60 per 100 grams for crabs weighing one kilogram or more. It is always a good idea to confirm the cost with the waitstaff before ordering.
