A Case of Hairy Crabs
Sunday, November 6th, 2011
If you visit Singapore and don’t end up having crabs, you are missing out on an integral part of the food experience here. Ask the locals, and chances are they’ll rattle off a half-dozen or more ways to enjoy this tasty crustacean. But around this time each year, one crab in particular whips the island (and much of Chinese Asia) into a frenzy best described as hairy crab fever. For G and family, it’s an annual itch that can only be satisfied with repeat visits to Capital Restaurant. While every other chinese restaurant will have their own variation of crab and preparation, we’ve been loyal patrons for years there because of the consistency, value for money and a certain vinegar/ginger sauce.
