Delicious Crab

During this time, when it comes to crabs, usually tourists Indonesian restaurant sponsor No Sign Board (NSB), which has outlets in Geylang, Kallang, and the Esplanade. NSB’s most famous dish of chilli crab sauce is abundant and steady dipped in bread or mantou (fried bread). Branch at Pacific Place, Central Jakarta, is also popular – even though many friends argue that the quality is not as good as in Singapore.

The new crab dish I tried was presented by Golden Sands Restaurant. In terms of appearance, his class was under the NSB. Likewise in terms of price, Golden Sands is much cheaper. Understandably, this place is just a small booth at a food court in Ang Mo Kio – a large residential area, with hundreds of middle-class-rise apartment buildings in Singapore, a bit far from downtown. These outlets are only open late afternoon into the evening.

In Golden Sands, crab dishes ordered most people are black pepper crab. Another dish that may be ordered here is: scallops broccoli, and head of the Thai fish sauce.
