We were visiting Singapore for the 1st time and had to try out the Singapore chilli crab. We ordered the chilli crab, the fried mee sua, and holy crab fried rice. Everything was phenomenal!!! Staff was attentive and super nice. The owner/chef greeted us, and we even took a family photo together. We will definitely come back next time we're in town.

My group made a last minute reservation to this place. I first learned about the place from YouTube. We ordered crab fried rice, 2 different kinds of crab (chili crab, succumb), broccoli, maitou. They charged $1sgd for water btw. My favorite items of the meal were the crab fried rice and succumb crab. I also like to dip the maitou in the spicy chili crab sauce. The chili crab to me is a bit spicy and saltier to my taste, plus it's a lot of work to eat the crab just like someone in my group said. They do charge the crab by lb ($108/lb). I do appreciate the wide selection of sauces that they cook the crab in. If I ever go back, I'll definitely get the signature crab fried rice. I'll also order maitou if I order any crab.

I really like it, the crab was amazing but my favourite was the dessert. I'd recommend booking in advance because it can get busy particularly on weekends.

You must try chili crab in Singapore if you're a fan of spicy seafood! We made a reservation for 1pm and came here for lunch, just in time for the weekday 3-course lunch special. The lunch special includes a choice of main, beverage, and dessert for $19.90~ SGD. the chili crab itself is pricey, but it's meant to be shared. I got the Signature Holycrab Fried Rice while my friend got the Scorched Vermicelli. For dessert, they got our order wrong, so they gave both options free of charge. These dishes went well with our chili crab and made it a fulfilling meal. The chili crab was excellent and full of flavor, it is messy to eat, but that's the way to enjoy it. The fried rice was also delicious and was pretty great fried rice. I was not a big fan of the Scorched Vermicelli, it didn't taste flavorful, and I mostly just tasted the burnt parts. The desserts were not my cup of tea either. Overall, definitely come for the chili crab and the fried rice was a great entree option as well.

I had to get Chili Crab while I was in Singapore. So glad I did! I made a reservation for 1 for lunch later the same day. When I got there, they had just put out a sign that they were out of crabs and were calling people with reservations to tell that their shipment of crab was delayed until dinner and did they want to reschedule. It turns out they had one crab left they had set aside for me. As a solo diner, sometimes it feels like I'm treated as an afterthought. Not at Holy Crab. Feels like they gave great service to everyone, including me.

One of the best places to try chili crab. They give you gloves, an apron, napkins and a towel so you know it's serious and messy

My gf found this place on yelp and saw the amazing ratings and decided to give it a try. The location is a bit hard to find as we entered through a small alley way. We made a reservation before hand which they had but there were also tables open so I saw a few people walk in. We decided to order: 1. Crab Fried Rice: SOOO GOOD! There are huge chunks of crab in the rice and the rice itself was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It wasn't too salty either like a lot of places make it so it went amazingly with the sweet and sour pumba. 2. Sweet and sour Pumba: Incredible! This was by far the best dish of the night. The pork was so flavorful and crunchy. The sauce was so addicting I wanted to lick the plate clean. One of the best dishes we had in Singapore. 3. Thai chili crab: Literally Holy Crab this crab was massive. It was the biggest crab I've ever eaten. There was so much meat inside and the meat was so sweet and delicious. The Thai Chili was labeled as 1 spicy star however and it was super super spicy. My gf and I have very low tolerance but this was definitely more spicy than we expected. The bread that went with the crab was incredible but we definitely over ordered and couldn't eat any more bread. 4. Slushy: SOOOO GOOD! Perfect sweetness and the slush was so amazing with the hot weather. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, this place was amazing. The food was incredible but what blew us away the most was actually the fried rice and sweet and sour pork. The crab was also good but it was a bit pricey (about $150-200 USD.) The flavor and size was mindblowing though but I wish it was less spicy. Definitely would be back for the Pumba and rice!

I just had the best crab in my life at Holy Crab! Chili crab and 5 pieces of fried bun. The chili sauce is heavenly, with the meaty crab making perfect harmony. Highly recommend if you are in Singapore. The 1KG at S$90 is more than enough for myself.
