My Favourite Food <(^-^)>
Chilli Crab
Chilli crab is a seafood dish popular in Singapore. Mud crabs are
commonly used and are stir-fried in a semi-thick, sweet and savoury
tomato and chilli based sauce. Despite its name, chilli crab is not a
very spicy dish. 
You can’t visit Singapore without trying its spicy, sloppy, meaty specialty. While there are dozens of ways to prepare crab (with black pepper, salted egg yolk, cheese-baked, etc) chili crab remains the local bestseller.
My mother knows how to cook chilli crab, which she cooked once every 2 week. Even though my father enjoyed eating chilli crab, I think I enjoyed eating salted egg yolk crab more. Be it dry or creamy salted egg yolk crab, for me it's just the best.
A kilo of chilli crab cost about $45 nowadays. Once in a while my family would meet up and eat in a restaurant.
Mantou buns
Chilli crab gravy tends to splatter, which is why you need to mop everything up with mini mantou buns. :)
Other Variations:
Black pepper crab
Black pepper crab is one of the two most popular ways that crab is
served in Singapore. It is made with hard-shell crabs, and fried with
black pepper. Unlike the other popular chilli crab dish, it is less
heavy due to the absence of a sauce.
Salted egg yolk crab ( Creamy )
Salted egg yolk crab ( Dry )
This is a dish worth the calorie sin.
