While the crab is of course, amazing, the sauce is the hero. You will have it up to your elbows and be licking your fingers clean with satisfaction. Singapore chilli crab is available everywhere in Singapore nowadays. It&#8217;s amazing to think this dish had its origins from a pushcart. Run by a couple in 1956 who perfected the flavours, they sold their chilli crabs along the Kallang River. It became so popular, they opened their own restaurant, Palm Beach. Another chef altered the dish and this is the most common version served throughout Singapore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you like to try during a stopover or visit to Singapore?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>With thanks to Michelle Grima from Australia PR<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepare for a culinary adventure!
