MUST TRY: Fatty Crab, Taman Megah

SG foodie visits Fatty Crab once every quarter, not because the food is not good but because the wait for a table on some days can be rather daunting. SG foodie and DH brought some family to Fatty Crab recently and finally remembered to take some photos (albeit after the first frenzy of having tucked in already ;p) instead of being over-excited to dig in with abandonment!

There are only seven items available on the Fatty Crab menu:

1) Crabs
2) Prawns
3) Fish
4) Fried Rice
5) Satay
6) Chicken Wing
7) Toast Bread

SG foodie ordered everything except chicken wings as the vendor was on holiday and well, SG foodie ordered a lot of crabs so decided to give the prawns a skip. The satay here is meant as an appetiser while you wait for the rest of the food to arrive on most days but somehow this visit, the satay vendor grills the satay with much tender love that the satays arrived together with the rest of the food. But the satays are a good alternative for those with family or friends who are not into too much seafood or spicy food.

The crabs here is cooked in a sour, spicy starchy sauce that is very different from the sweet, sour tomato-based chilli crabs that is available in Singapore but both are just as yummy! Pity they serve toast bread here instead of fried man-tou, to soak up the sauce; toast bread just don't have as much kick as fried man-tou. But the chilli crab is absolutely marvellous and the sauce has the right consistency of thickness, tangy-ness and spiciness to give you a fantastic mouth-feel when "wrestling" with the chilli crab to extract the flesh.

The fried rice here is highly recommended, it's truly simple fare made delicious. SG foodie ordered a steam fish and the sour mustard soup that the fish was steamed in really whets the appetite! Any wonder why SG foodie visits this restaurant as often as she does?
