Do crabs dance? I must say that Dancing Crab has a cute and adorable name for a restaurant. This is the second time I am venturing out to try a restaurant that is non-Chinese based. Most of my crab repertoire has been chilli, black pepper, or salted egg Sri Lankan crabs in the usual Chinese seafood restaurants like Jumbo, House of Seafood, Crab Party.
With this new concept of Louisiana-style way of eating crabs that have hit the shore of Singapore - eating crabs on the table with your hands minus the cutlery is definitely a fun and messy experience. The meal doesn't come cheap, though, with an average of $30 per head.
Located at Orchard Central, Dancing Crab is easily accessible with the MRT, and away from the crowds milling around shopping. We had the Combo Bag of 1 Sri Lankan Crab, with Prawns and Clams cooked in garlic sauce. Carbs included were Corn on Cob and Potato. The garlic butter sauce was superb, and made me want to scoop out the sauce with some bread and devour it to the fullest. I for one do not like garlic, but cooked this way, it is irresistible. This Combo Bag alone was actually enough for the 3 of us, but under the recommendation of the server, we added on a side of fries and a lobster roll (which came with fries again). So in the end, we were left with too much food. The lemonade was a delicious thirst quencher, and the different flavored concoctions made the drink a whole lot more fun.
