If any of you are up for a short taxi ride if in SIN for longer than the 7hr turn, may I suggest for chilli crab the Hua Yu Wee restaurant on Upper East Coast Road, and for black pepper crab the Lucky View restaurant at the East Coast Seafood Centre.
I used to be a chilli crab fanatic, but after tasting the black pepper crab I now like it at least as much. Cant wait for my return in November..
