    Shell OutPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    When dining at Shell Out, be prepared to get your hands dirty - literally. The concept here is different than most eateries as there are no plates and utensils. The food is typically spread across a custom-made paper which lines their tables and usage of hands to eat is highly encouraged. The crab served here was generously smothered with their signature sauce, Shell Bang - a delicious concoction combining their butter garlic and lemon pepper sauces. The crab was exceptionally fresh and goes nicely with their Shell Bang sauce; it slips down the throat smoothly and any crab lover's palates will be thanking their lucky stars for the experience.

    Famous not only for their huge selection of crabs and types of style, including their famous ‘Crab Dong Fun’. The chilli crab is also worth recommending, as it pairs perfectly well with the fried mantao, which help soak up the luscious gravy. If you ever wish to pair your crab with a side dish, we would recommend the salted egg fried squid and sang har mee. The interior is like any other Chinese restaurant, plastic chairs with tablecloths laid over broken wooden table planks. But who cares when the food is absolutely delicious. 

    Tips

    An additional must try – The Butter Crab.

    Things to expect

    Standard seafood restaurant that serves crab along with all the seafood being in a tank.

    Fatty CrabPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21Alco free 9fb1f2c65edc2c1eaf4e8b24402d108dd33cc2bc71f0fb0022a54c3c390a66c8

    We understand that to many, Fatty Crab may seem overrated or too expected. Nevertheless, we believe that Fatty Crab has upholds a certain standard, regardless of what many might think. They still serve pretty decent crabs, usually huge at a reasonable price. And once it’s tarted up with the sauces you choose, its sure to charm your taste buds. After all, it is located in quite a central area, easily accessible by most. Besides that, Fatty Crab also serves delicious chicken wings that can be smelled from a mile away!

    Tips

    Arrive early if you don’t wanna wait for a table.

    Things to expect

    Everyone talking extremely loudly and a rather slow service.

    Crabs, crabs, crabs. That is what Restoran Chilli's Crab Seafood is all about. They are also one of the first few to incorporate Maggi into their crab dishes, which is unique and weird at the same time. Constantly looking for new recipes and methods of eating, Restoran Chilli's Crab Seafood certainly does take their crab really seriously. Those who are looking for something a little more conventional could go for their black pepper, buttermilk, chilli crab, or even green curry crab. Last but not least, the size of their crabs are fairly huge.

    Restoran Hoi Peng has been around for quite some time and they have garnered quite a reputation among the locals. It’s sandwiched between an electrical shop and a car workshop, which is actually rather sad. Regardless, despite the horrible location and unassuming ambience, they still offer one of the best salted baked crab in PJ. Generously served, the crabs are fresh while the salted egg layer is nothing but addictive. Additionally, their fried rice and fried chicken wings are pretty good too. In short, if ambience is not your thing, this spot will have you utterly satisfied. 

    Tips

    Come before 6pm if you do not wish to wait for a table.

    Things to expect

    Fresh crabs served in a boring but functional metal plate – like all other Chinese seafood restaurants.
