Chili Crab (Not a Recipe :)

Chili Crab probably is one of the most famous dish here in Singapore which they say is a must try. I am not really fond of crabs mainly because I don't know how to eat them. I haven't acquired the knowledge to differentiate what part is edible and what part is not (I am only sure of the shell). Secondly, I don't even know how to open them and I feel it really messy to eat one. My hubby is the opposite. He simply loves it however way it's cooked.
Recently, I am slowly learning how to eat them but because these are expensive treats if not very high cholesterol, we vowed to eat chili crab every payday only. We usually eat before we do our payday grocery at Master Crab at Sunshine's Place .


A single serving of medium sized crab like the picture above is usually SGD$30-50 (P900-1500).

Just this payday, we got lazy and decided to try the chili crab at the hawker stall just below our block. It turned out theirs is more heavenly. The sauce tasted like caldereta which I liked, the price is way cheaper and the size is bigger.

We wanted to cook chili crab ourselves but we couldn't agree yet who gets to kill the crab. It's not that we don't know how to do it, I just can't bear the idea of stabbing the crab to kill it, yaiks!
