My last review on an eating place was 6 months ago and incidentally it was also on crab. I am on the search of looking for a place that serves good salted egg crab. The best I have eaten so far was this coffee shop in Kuala Lumpur. For now, I am trying to find a nearer, Singapore alternatives.

Then came this recommendation from my Uncle's friend. And without delay, we went to check it out. One word of warning before I proceed, it is very difficult to find parking at this place. The setting is very similar to that of Geylang food and 'something else' haven. And if you are lucky enough to find one, the parking will be parallel parking. Although the address says Changi Road, it is not exactly Changi. It is actually very near Eunos and Geylang. So before it puts you off, the place is nowhere near Changi village or Changi Airport.

This is how the coffee shop looks like. It is decorated with crab shells and dagger-looking-objects which are actually shark's skull!!! Yes, the coffeeshop serves steamed shark's head!! It is never on our "To Try" List. But rather than leaving the sharks to die at the bottom of the seabed after severing their fins, perhaps this is doing a little more justice to the poor sharks?

Verdict, the salted egg crab is the best I have eaten in S'pore so far. It still loses to the one in KL but until I find a better alternative, this will be THE place for salted egg crab so far. I will continue my commentary as I show you the photographs.
















Somehow the butter crab here is not spectacular. It is a little too floury and the gravy turned watery after a while. Hence this dish is just OKAY... Uncle Leong serves better butter crab.






Chili crab is yummy! Spicy enough, fragrant enough and sweet enough.







Gleaming mini mantou to be dipped into the butter or chili crab gravy


Thai Style Fritter - must have! Fried to perfection with sweet and sour Thai sauce








Crab meat fried rice. A must while waiting for the
other dishes to be served.







Prawn Roll. Also yummy!

3-style-eggs with spinach. Well, every meal needs vegetable. This will be a good and not exactly healthy (referring to the cholestrol level after all the crabs and salted eggs) choice.

The place is always full, so reservations is definitely recommended.
