Best Crab in Johor Bahru (JB)

Capturing hearts of seafood lovers for decades, this restaurant never fails to churn out the best of the ocean with panache.  It’s usually chock-full as the sun gradually dips towards the horizon, which permits a picturesque view, on the stilted wooden dining space. Among the trump cards on the extensive menu are their crabs, fresh and hearty pieces lure to be ladled with chili, black pepper or curry flavours. The gravy just hits your palate with rich spices, complementing the succulent flesh within. Served with spongy buns, mop the platter clean. 

You know you’re heading for a seafood gastronomy ride as you’re welcomed by an imposing lobster statue at the façade of the restaurant. With a sitting capacity of 1,600, there’s no surprise the dining space is habitually filled with hordes of customers. With a breathtaking view of Straits of Johor and Singapore, the gentle lull of ocean and winds just sets the mood straightaway. However, once their signature Chili Crab lands on your table, you’ll forget the surrounding environment till the final dot of gravy and last pinch of flesh. The exemplary platter is best shared, yet think twice when you take the first mouthful. 

This modest restaurant sparks a unique take on crab, crafted for those you would prefer chomping rather than crackling the crab and ensure hands are clean. Named as crab ball soup, it appears like a crab islet drenched in pristine broth and spattered with chopped herbs. Just slither through the inevitable crab meat and slurp the soup along, which is vastly infused with crab flavours. 

A restaurant that soulfully showcases their love towards seafood, each ocean’s catch is meticulously enhanced with their highly vaunted cooking style. Crab lovers, opt for your catch to be cuddled with Honey Sauce, Black Pepper, Chili, Salted Egg Yolk, Curry or Golden Egg Yolk, from simple and straightforward to opulent concoctions, this is a feast like never before. Gather your convives and gobble them all. 

Ambiance isn't something that they are gonna brag about, nor are you when you bring a hungry date. What you can say however, is the fact that they serve awesome seafood dishes. One that caters to the mass majority of seafood lovers. From prawns to fish, clams to crabs, they have it all. One of their best seller would be the salted egg yolk crab - packed full of flavour and juicy as hell!
