Chili crab is not actually a Filipino dish; it’s a Singaporean delicacy and in fact, the first time I ever tried it was when I was at Singapore. Heralded as Singapore’s unofficial national dish, chili crab is cooked in a thick tomato-chili sauce and served with Chinese buns and a nutcracker so you can break the crab’s thick shell. I’m not sure if there are any restaurants in the Philippines that serve Singaporean-style chili crab, but if I find one I’ll blog about it for sure. I’m totally craving for it right now. >_>
Have you tried Crustasia? It’s a mix of Thai/Malaysian/Singaporean fare. They have branches in Podium and Powerplant.
I’m not sure if they have Chili Crab (never ordered it, I go there for the Thai dishes) but I distinctly remember they have numerous Singaporean-inspired crab dishes.
