Whether you’re craving for this iconic dish, or trying it for the first time, go straight to one of these spots – famed for serving some of the best chilli crab on the Red Dot.
Blue Lotus The Blue Lotus signature Chilli Pomelo Crab is one of the standout dishes at Blue Lotus Chinese Eating House at Sentosa, Quayside Isle. The secret is in the sauce, which contains assam (tamarind), chilli, ginger flower and herbs. The addition of pomelo pulp lends a refreshing tangy bite to the Sri Lankan crab meat. Since the restaurant opened in 2013, over 100,000 Pomelo Chilli Crab dishes have been readily consumed.
Insider tip: While it’s best to enjoy the original Chilli Pomelo Crab at Blue Lotus Chinese Eating House at Sentosa (a mainstay despite a menu change after Chinese New Year), diners can still enjoy dishes that feature the special sauce at other outlets. For example, diners can tuck into the Chilli Pomelo La Mian Soup ($24), thick with ingredients such as la mian (Chinese handmade noodle), broccolini, fresh herbs and of course, hand peeled crab meat, at Blue Lotus Chinese Grill House @ Tanjong Pagar.
