Chilli Crab is a popular Singaporean seafood dish known for its spicy and tangy flavors. The dish features fresh crabs cooked in a rich and flavorful sauce made from chili paste, tomato sauce, and various spices. The crabs are stir-fried until they turn bright red and then simmered in the sauce until they absorb all the flavors. The result is a mouthwatering dish with tender crab meat and a spicy kick. Chilli Crab is often served with steamed rice or mantou buns to soak up the delicious sauce.
