Chili Crab
You can never say you've been to Singapore until trying one of the famous crab dishes (Chili, Black Pepper, Salted Egg). Wok-fried huge Sri Lankan Mud Crabs before adding on the signature chili gravy is a must-have because Singaporeans just love chili with everything. Finger licking good as you slurp up the chili gravy while feasting on the huge pincers. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty although some shops might provide plastic gloves. Lastly, a little secret (order a side of fried buns to dip with chili gravy).
Curry Fish Head
Huge Fish head cooked in coconut milk and asam curry powder gives you another favourite of Curry Fish Head dish. Known for the succulent taste of fish cheeks and neck brought out by the spiciness yet the milky sensation of the curry. An assortment of vegetables mostly goes together to make it a wholesome meal.
