Chilli crab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chili crab is a famous seafood dish served in Malaysia and Singapore. It is made with hard-shell crabs, and cooked in a thick gravy with a tomato chili base. It is a favourite at seafood restaurants.

Nowadays, the dish also has many incarnations: some are packed with fresh spices like galangal, ginger, and turmeric, some are sweet-sour and rosy with tomato, others are ribboned with beaten egg, and still others carry the sting of chilli oil. Chilli crabs are often served with a few slices of French bread or mantou (Chinese buns) to aid the eater in soaking up and eating the tomato chili sauce.
