Never thought that you could eat the shell of a hard shell crab? Neither do I, but you can do that here 🤤 The salted egg crab is fried beforehand and then cooked with the sauce, that is my new obsession with crab. The classic chilli crab is a good one too! With the thick egg chilli sauce. And what's eating chilli crab without fried man tou? The man tou is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

Don't think there's anywhere else offering cheaper Sri Lankan crabs than here in 21 Seafood - $25 for 3 small crabs, $30 for 2 medium and $40 for 2 large ones! PLUS, choose from 16 different cooking styles (which had us really torn among the choices like Creamy Butter, 'Kam Heong' and good ol' Chili). Sauce was buttery and creamy, crabs were surprisingly good for the price though I might go with the medium ones next time. Please get yourself some fried fluffy mantous too to mop up all that sauce!!!
We enjoyed the decent zi char spread here, food was served quickly and prices were reasonable. A very no frills kind of place great for group meals! #BurppleCheapNGood
Creamy salted egg sauce that we couldn't stop dipping the crispy fluffy mantous in! Crabs were small but at 3 for $25, it's pretty decent with enough flesh to go around. And it was easy to extract without having to crack it.
We went to try the zi char here because of the recommendation on burpples! Ordered 2 medium size crabs for $30 (plus $3 for the buttery salted egg sauce). We wanted to get their large size crabs, but they only have medium size crabs today. The crabs are not large but there's a lot of meat in their body and legs. They gave us one female and one male crab. The female crab was tastier due to the fresh roe attached to the body. I'll try to request for female crabs in future, if I come return to try other dishes at this stall. Man tou is highly recommended. We got 9 man tou(s) for $3. Also, we tried bitter gourd with egg and mee goreng, which were quite average taste wise. Xoxo, wet tissue no have
Never expected to have such good quality crabs at such affordable prices! Although not as big as the full grown Sri Lankan crabs we normally see, the crabs here are still meaty, so you don't feel shortchanged. There are a few options here — $25 for three small crabs, $30 for two medium or $40 for two large. My girlfriend and I opted for two medium crabs, one cooked in chili sauce and the other in salted egg sauce. Note: The standard procedure is cooking both crabs in the same sauce, but we wanted to try different sauces so we paid $4 extra to have the crabs cooked in two different sauces ($34) — totally worth it! Also note that there's a difference between dry salted egg and salted egg sauce. Don't order the wrong thing! We nearly did 😨 Skip the tze char here, instead order the golden, pillowy mantou ($4 for 12!) to mop up all the sauce!! SHIOKKK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
