Kent's Life....

I figure its time for another introduction to the local Singapore cuisine...Last time I wrote about dat Chicken Rice steez, which is real bomb, but its more of an everyday type of meal. Today Im talking bout a dish thats a little bit more grizzly on the wallet, Chili Crab. Its one of those things you go eat for birthdays, hot dates, celebrations, payday, or I guess anytime you want if you're ballin' like me.

A quick guide to Chili crab:
Mud crab is lightly fried or steamed in ginger, then thrown into a wok and stir-friend with Chili sauce, tomato, and eggs...then lightly garnished with coriander....of course there is a little more that goes to it, but thats pretty much the gist of it. Since the crab is covered in sauce it can get a little messy, but well worth it. I crack crabs like a G, unlike some people I've encountered (Jesus Martinez)

A great addition to the chili crab is the fried bread rolls("mantou" in Chinese)....they come standard with the dish so you can sop up the remaining chili sauce...hmmm mmmm...


Every guest that has come to visit loved the Chili Crab. It truly is the nuts of Singapore dishes...Even better for me is that there is a super fire ass spot just a 10min walk away from my house....if you find yourself in Singapore then I promise to take you out for this bomb crab....its on me!

So whatever the occasion may be, Chili Crab is, as my good homie Jonah Golan would say, "off da wind chimes!!!"

Heres a recipe that I found if you are daring enough try cooking at home...

I have yet to write an entry on my life in SE Asia, and since food is a passion of mine I realized I should be introducing a little bit of the local delight here in Singapore. Please expect from time to time to be hit with entries about the local food..

Good food is truly one of the selling points for living or traveling in Singapore. The one thing you will never lack anywhere in Singapore is a good bite to eat. One dish that I truly love and have become quite the pro on is Hainanese Chicken Rice..

Chicken rice is pretty much the national dish of Singapore, and you can find it everywhere. From outdoor food stalls($2) to fine dining restaurants($30), all levels of the dish are available. I eat this stuff so much that one could even call me a chicken rice sommelier...certified. My goal is to hit up every Chicken Rice establishment in Singapore, and trust me, I will hit my target.

Im not going to go in detail about the dish (please click link above)....But basically the rice is fragrant, the chicken is juicy, and the chili sauce sets it all off. Few dishes I would consider eating every day: Pho, Ramen, Doner, and now Chicken Rice. Its that good.

Shit is real deal bomb. If you dont believe me, come out an try it ;)
