Tasty crabs: salted egg and curry crabs? yum. Midnight Char Kway Teow: a big plate of CKT with a raw egg broken over it. Delicious Everything else was delicious; but definitely not the most convenient place for me to visit.

Very reasonably priced Tze char place. Their signature dishes apart from crabs are: prawn paste chicken wings, fried Mee sua, steamed bean paste fish head. We didn’t have the crab, but we had: –prawn paste chicken(lightly floured and yummy), — spicy clams(cooked in a spicy eggy gravy. The clams were v clean, plump and no sand at all) — baby squids(the version here is not like those in long beach, jumbo. They are not drenched in sweet sauce but in a tangy sauce. More sweet and sour and nicely crisped) — fried mee sua(nicely done and a big plate is only $ 12. The noodles is not over cooked and not soggy) Add another veggie dish plus beer, we only paid $ 70 for 5 pax with too much food. Reservations are taken. So if you plan to come on weekends, it is better to call ahead.

The beauty of Singapore is the influx of cultures that give way to an infux and fusion of food! And who doesn’t love food? Here, the question is where is the most influence from? Is it Chinese, Indian, or Malay? Or even elsewhere? BUT, there are Singapore staples. Ban Leong is where you find a couple of them. It’s betwee the Black Pepper or Chilli Crab. My preference and recommendation here is the Chilli Crab. This place is a hidden gem and a must for 1st time visitors! As the other reviewer noted, it does get busy; so, come early and often!

This is my secret chili crab place. Now that I’ve written about it I don’t think it is much of a secret anymore. But it is still quite a hidden find as it is tucked away in the Casuarina estates. However many people do know about it because once they do they return and bring their father mother grandmother etc. That’s what I’ll do anyway. The most important thing to note is that you should make a reservation on weekends or it will be impossible to get seats. They have 2 eating times — 6 or 8pm. A table sits up to 11 I reckon. The other thing you need to know is this place has awesome chili crabs which are super huge, juicy and fresh. The sauce is also great for mantous. The rest of the tze char dishes are not bad too, but pretty average compared to the stellar crabs. Go for gold!

Ban Leong Wah Hoe is a place you need to get to very early or rather late because it is one of those establishments that gets absolutely packed for weekend dinners if you don’t make a reservation, and if you’re unlucky, you’ll get stuck waiting on a plastic chair by the roadside for a seat. Parking is also a bit of a situation as there’s not much around here, you might need to head to the private housing estate across the road. It’s a zi char place but they’re also quite famous for their crabs — the black pepper crab is especially black here, their chilli crab is a little bit more ketchupy. You also have to try the Ha Cheong Gai(prawn paste chicken) which is one of their house specialties and so yummy.
