Chili Crab

Singapore has amazing food. They take the best of Malay, Chinese, and former occupier England's high prices to make some ridiculous stuff.

The best is chili crab. We went to a place called Jumbos in the East Coast seafood district. The crab is swimming in sweet chili sauce, and is served kind of broken up, but with much work remaining before eating the delicous meat. There are limited utencils--mostly use your hands. And there are not really napkins, just a bowl of lemon water. I obviously made a mess, but it was excellent.

Another top notch dish was bamboo clams, which grow in the long, thin shape of bamboo. I'm not sure how they do it, but I hear they are from Sri Lanka. Anyway, they're then covered with delicious noodles and onion type things and a sweet, delicious sauce.

Come to think about it, Singaporean food is all about the sauce.
