Pincers and Pints await you at
Crab Ah! I am not referring to the all lobster Pince & Pints at Duxton. Instead I am bringing you to
Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa & Spa. The waterfront area of the resort is converted into an al fresco dining facing the South China Sea offering a feast for two which includes succulent Sri Lankan crabs and an array of appetisers, side dishes, desserts and free flowing house wines and beer.
The picturesque views of the sunset on the coast, music from a live band and the surrounding sea breeze present a perfect evening for couples to wrap up a delightful dinner. If you are lucky, you may also spot peacocks running around the waterfront or sleeping up in the trees.
Crab Ah! is available
every Friday from 630pm to 9pm at $138++ for two inclusive of free flowing house wines and beer.
Deep Fried White Bait 4/5
The dinner for two started with some delectable
Deep Fried White Bait. Well seasoned and crispy, this is a perfect appetiser to go with the free flow wines or beer while waiting for the mains.
Salted Egg Yolk Crab 4.2/5
Chilli Crab 4.5/5
For the set dinner of two, diners get to have a choice of four different sauces. The four sauces available are the signature
Chilli sauce, popular
Salted Egg sauce,
black pepper sauce and
superior XO sauce. I got the chance to try two out of the four sauces. Both sauces were as good. The crab was also fresh, sweet and juicy complemented by the delicious sauces. Among the two sauces I tried, I would have to be a bit bias and go for more favourite salted egg.
Deep Fried Mantou Buns 4.2/5
Golden Deep Fried Mantou Buns are also served for diners to dip into the flavourful crab sauces of their choice.
Stir Fried Seasonal Vegetables 4.2/5
Shrimp Fried Rice 4.5/5
After digging into the luscious crustaceans and getting my finger messy, there were more dishes awaiting for us to savour. Both the
Stir Fried Seasonal Vegetable and
Shrimp Fried Rice looked kind of plain but that's only in appearance. The stir fried vegetable was crunchy and flavourful. Each mouthful of the fragrant shrimp fried rice was filled with wok hei aroma. Thumbs up!
Pandan Ice Cream 3/5 and Teh Tarik Ice Cream 4/5
Dessert is a choice of the
Pandan or
Teh Tarik Ice cream. I personally prefer the teh tarik ice cream over the pandan ice cream. I find the pandan ice cream tasted more like kaya, a bit too sweet.
Assortment of Kuehs 4/5
Besides ice cream, there are also a selection of different Kuehs for diners to have a taste of the local snacks. There is even a Do-It-Yourself Ice Kachang dessert counter.
