Happy Crabβs specialty is their succulent π©πππππππ π«πππ πΊππ πΊπππ πͺπππ ($45 for 200g) with tons of roe inside. The crab preparation is different from the common Chili Crab or Black Pepper Crab style. They simply season their crabs with salt and pepper and topped with light glaze of unagi sauce. The crabs were the highlight of our dinner. The crab roe was overflowing and the meat was sweet and fresh. I would rate the crab itself 4.25/5. The crab is good for 1 pax and you can order a few other dishes.
Other dishes I tried were the Seafood Hor Fun (full of work hei and generously covered with gravy), Chye Poh Omelette, and Kai-Lan (it was undercooked and hard to bite). The other dishes are just okay. The crabs are worth a try and Iβll be coming back for more.
Those who are not vaccinated/fully vaccinated yet can dine here as it falls under Kopitiam category. Make sure to call ahead to reserve the crab and table.
One of the amazing Barbecue carbs we ordered.
Lightly salted & peppered during the BBQ, highly recommended to combine the crab meat with the sambal belacan.
Seriously happy food indeed.
Crispy Pase Pase fish, crunchy parts when bitten, squeezed lime to enhance the flavour.
One of the signature dish.
Yummy happy food indeed.
Unique wok-hei taste, succulent prawns, fresh green vegetables & some squid x clam combo.
Not very starchy which is quite good.
Alternate choice from the signature Seafood Hor Fun.
Yummy happy food indeed.
Fire BBQ squid, which seasoned with Japanese dashi, salt & pepper.
Squeeze the lime for zest.

At $40 a crab, it was pretty tasty bbq crabs. But for extra shiokness, add some belachan to the the βroeβ, and magic happens. Next time, I want to try the plain ones.
Dubbed Dry Hor Fun at Happy Crab (they can call it whatever they want tbh) and despite not having much of it, was aromatic, flavourful and a must order alongside their BBQ crabs which I will post about soon.
Situated inside a coffee shop, the service wasn't too bad (: πΈ

There wasn't a huge crowd on Monday nite, thus waiting time was average. Choice of 3 dips - Wasabi, mayonnaise and sambal belachan to choose from, I recommend the sambal belachan as it has a distinctive spicy flavour different from the usual. πΈ

The crabs were not as hot as we imagined, nevertheless was still fresh and once you pry open the crab, roe starts flowing out.. yummy. However the size of the crab was a little smaller than expected, was surprisingly feeling though! :

Expected πΈ : $40, $45-$50 per pax
A nice place to chill n hang out with family and friends for dinner. The coffee shop is clean and bright and inviting. We were warmly welcome in by Mr MC Lim the boss. Crab wise....it was thumbs up for me. The succulent and tender sweetest of the grilled crab with just the right favouring of salt n pepper is simply delicious! The other dishes such as the kampong chicken, squid, crispy deep fried fish and kuey tiao that we ordered were really good too. Happy crab = happy customers
Dinner with the Sydney colleagues who are in town this week. A change from our usual Chilli Crab fare, these are really fresh and yummy! Succulent, pepper-salt-grilled crabs, flavourful in every bite. We had one huge crab each (and more)!! So so full...
Must booked in advanced. Grilled crab is sweet and succulent. Loved the sambal blacan too.
Imagine all this to yourself... one whole crab per person!! π¦π¦π¦πππ
The #BBQ #crabs are fresh and #tasty!
The best of all, the uncles are are so entertaining and humorous! We enjoyed our time there where the owners will come and chit chat with us and constantly checking if we're satisfied with the food.
Although the crabs are lil over priced compared to other places but the service and #delicious food are worth a visit again!
I really have to thank @kaz1113 for the recommendation!
Great Makan session today with the #foodies! @nattiong @visualchef @iwondersoh @kaz1113
Till next time!
