Sad, scared, intimidated … Your photo of the crab brings out these emotions in me. I usually do not eat shellfish due, and I am intimidated to prepare crabs and lobsters, so I usually just settle for shrimp. But I think I will have to try this recipe someday soon. My mouth always waters whenever I see photos of Chili Crab or some sort similar.

matagal ko na hinahanap kung pano magluto ng chili crab (singapore, east coast seafood center style)…and i think this is the one closest to that recipe..i will try this tomorrow…thanks for the recipe..

some unsolicited advice: when in Singapore, try the Bee Hoon Crab in Sin Huat Restaurant…This restaurant is along Lorong 34, Geylang (Im not sure if i got the correct street number but this restaurant is opposite an Esso gasoline station along the stretch of Geylang…)…We just found out about this superb crab recipe and personally, i like it more than the Chili Crab…because it is not too spicy and I can appreciate the taste of the female Sri Lankan crab(grabe!) more…If it was not referred by a friend, we wouldn’t have tried it because the restaurant is the usual geylang hawker restaurant and I wouldn’t have expected that they’re cooking up this kind of glorious food in that place…hehehe…it’s a case of don’t judge a book by its cover…hehehe…when we asked the auntie how to cook Bee Hoon crab, she wouldn’t divulge the recipe…she said its a family secret…
