If your family loves crabs, you’ll want to try the unusual dishes at hip new restaurant Holycrab , which specialises in the crustacean. Its Green Chilli Crab is a refreshingly welcome variation to the red chilli one that Singaporeans love so much. So is The Peppa, which uses pink peppercorns instead of the usual black ones.
Adventurous eaters should try the Balsamic Crab, which blends balsamic vinegar, red chilli and curry leaves – it’s one of those dishes you either love or never want to eat again. All crab dishes are priced at $9 per 100g (before service charge and GST) and use large Sri Lankan crabs. If you need carbs, its Succumb to Mee (fried clam bee hoon, $15) has a heavenly wok hei.
