Long Beach: Chilli crab and geoduck


Chilli crab and black pepper crab are must do’s in Singapore. They’re like the pyramids in Egypt or Macchu Picchu in Peru. Only you can eat them. Long Beach (http://www.longbeachseafood.com.sg/outlets.php , it doesn’t really matter which outlet) does pretty good renditions of both of them, especially the curry crab. Just don an apron, and use your hands to get stuck in.



But don’t forget some of the less well-known options. Prawns stir fried with salted egg and curry leaves are rich and incredibly moreish. My favourite however, was geoduck, sashimi style. A bit pricey, but well worth it. So you might be asking, what actually is a geoduck? To put it simply, it’s like a giant white clam. It’s flesh, however, is smooth, silky and sublimely sweet, and when dipped in the peppery heat of wasabi-infused soy sauce, alas you have a formidable partnership.
