By the way, it nearly always has a long queue (I'm not sure that means too much in Singapore, because people actually seem to enjoy waiting in line here!). I'm not actually a big fan of this type of crab, so I cannot personally attest to whether this place is the "best."
The pepper crab at Still Road and Joo Chiat place has been voted one of the best, but queues starts at friggin 5pm.. no reservations allowed. Not the best place for a date..
Jumbo seafood has good chilli crabs, Clark Quay or East Coast location would be the place a nice date....
