Chilli Crab in Singapore

Possibly the most impressive National Dish in the world.  The kind of dish other countries look at and wish to claim it as their own;  the Singaporean Chilli Crab is up there among my favourite.  I had my first chilli crab in a hawker centre which I believe should be everybody's first experience of the dish.  No frills, just the crab and its powerful sauce.  Despite its name, it is not a particularly hot sauce; but its flavour is unmatched and works perfectly with the delicate crab meat.  Be careful though, I did slice my thumb open trying to get into the damn thing and the sauce certainly did not help the pain.  You will make a mess, you will have it all over your face and you will feel like everyone is watching you.  Totally worth it all.
