Crabs (Chilli Or Pepper)

The two most famous styles of cooking crabs in Singapore are with a sweet, spicy tomato-ish chilli sauce, or with black pepper sauce. Chilli crabs are usually eaten along with fried mantous (buns), which are dipped in the luscious chilli sauce.

To achieve a delicious texture, the crabs go through a two-step cooking process; they’re first boiled then fried so that the meat doesn’t stick to the shell. Recently, many new popular styles of cooking have surfaced as well, like salted-egg crabs or crab bee hoon.

Amoy Street Food Centre

Several good food centres start with “A” actually – Amoy Street Food Centre, ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and Alexandra Village Food Centre. Amoy Street Food Centre located in the central business district continues to offer quality hawker fare at very affordable prices. Located just a few minutes’ walk away from Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar MRT stations, the place is very crowded during lunchtime when office workers head down in droves for lunch, although that is also the only time most of the stalls are open. One of the highly recommended stalls is “A Noodle Story” which serves “Singapore-style ramen”, and is also listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand. You get a bowl with Japanese style charshu, soy-flavoured braised egg, Hong Kong style wontons, potato wrapper prawn fritter for that crunch.

Killiney Kopitiam

Image
Kopitiam is a common part of Singapore, where a typical drink stall would sell coffee (kopi), tea (teh), milo and other soft drinks, along with breakfast items such as kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs. This is our way of life. There are Killiney Shops around, but what better way to have it at… Killiney Road! I will introduce friends to slurping half-boiled eggs with pepper and dark-soya sauce, both disgusting-looking but delicious. Also, our Nanyang-style coffee is in a class of its own. Address: 67 Killiney Road Singapore 239525 MRT: Somerset (5-10 min walk) After the meal: A Killiney Curry Puff a few shops down, or back to Orchard Road which is 5 minutes away.
