"Restaurants all over Singapore have chile crab on their menus—it’s one of the national dishes. Usually made with whole crabs swimming in a spicy chile sauce, this streamlined version is much simpler—and less messy to eat. Although a little more expensive, this dish looks the most beautiful and tastes the best when made with "colossal" lump crabmeat. Make it a meal: Serve over instant brown rice. Cool off with mango sorbet for dessert...."
