Almost every Korean love crab dishes as well. There are many Korena style crab cuisine in Korea. However, If your korean friends want to take crab dish in SG except chili crab, what other crab dishes are you going to explain?

Let's take a look at other crab dishes to find out how to tell your friends about crab foods cook in many ways.  

1.Chilli Crab

Let’s get this out of the way first, because we can’t talk about crabs in Singapore without talking about the pride and joy of our local cuisine. Chili Crab is a quintessential dish for visiting tourists, and ranks 35 on CNN’s top 50 most delicious foods list.

There’s much debate about who does it best here, but we think Jumbo takes the cake. The sweet and spicy sauce is heaven with their crispy and fluffy mantous. If you haven’t already tried it, you owe it to yourself to give one of Singapore’s best a go.

 

2. Crabcakes

This classic American dish has translated well into Singapore’s crab loving horde. Mixed with a variety of herbs and spices and then fried, these cakes are crusty on the outside and sweet and meaty on the inside. Paired with a good dipping sauce, crab cakes are probably one of the most convenient ways to eat crab!

 

3. Teochew Cold Crab

Preparing Teochew Cold Crab seems like a simple task on paper, it’s just boiled and left to cool down afterall. The secret to this traditional dish, is the crab itself. They have to be full of “gor”, which refers to it’s liver.

Chui Huay Lim Teochew Restaurant is the place to get some cold crab. This age old restaurant has been serving traditional Teochew dishes for years and the building was an original gathering spot for Teochew immigrants back in colonial Singapore.

 

4. Crab Bee Hoon

Cooked at high heat in a claypot to produce the most awe-inducing flavour, crab bee hoon has a special place in my heart. Mellben Seafood has built quite a reputation for itself, the sweet milky broth is legendary and has this restaurant packed to capacity every single day!

5. Louisiana Style

Southern seafood boils have had a sudden resurgence in the local community these past two years and it’s a trend I’d love to see more of. armed with an apron and table mats, diners get down and dirty cracking and sucking on crabs boiled in broths flavoured with herbs and spices.

The best one we’ve had so far has got to be the ones at Dancing Crab. The crabs are drenched in a spicy tomato sauce for an extra kick, and you’ll get some great value out of their combo bags too !

 

 

6. Crabmeat Pasta

One of the most locally loved pasta dishes, the dish has created quite a reputation for itself with it’s soft and sweet crab flakes coating every fork-full of pasta. It’s best enjoyed with linguine so the crab sticks well. We highly recommend trying out the Crabmeat Linguini ($25) at La Nonna, which is served in a spicy tomato sauce and fresh basil.

 

7. White Pepper Crab

We’ll probably get hate for picking this one over black pepper crab, but white pepper crab’s milder nature just suits delicate crab flavours better! A true blue Singaporean creation, white pepper crab was first conceived in the kitchen of No Signboard Seafood Restaurant back in their hawker stall days. The dish was so popular it launched them out of obscurity and turned them into restaurant chain that now had outlets as far away as Hong Kong.

 

8. Crab Tung Hoon

One of my personal favourite dishes, this Teochew dish has found quite an audience in Thailand as well. The noodles are fried in garlic, pepper, ginger and a stock to create a dry but extremely pungent and fragrant dish. They are mostly served in claypots that add an earthy flavour to the noodles.

9. Chilli Crab Poutine

Talk about cross-culturalism! This Canadian and Singaporean hybrid takes it to a spicy new level by substituting the traditional gravy with a chilli crab sauce! It’s topped up with a deep fried soft shell crab to seal the deal. Say goodbye to dirty fingers from tearing crabs up.

 

10. Crab and salad
