8 Crabs Seafood Kitchen

To be upfront again, I am no foodie and I always like having my food there and then. Don't you just feel that the food tastes nicer when plated straight from the wok? Especially zichar dishes right? I hardly ordered food deliveries previously, but this circuit breaker meant things had to change for everybody.

He said it looked "nice" but did not know it was spicy yet.

And for the very first time ever, we finally ordered some of our favorite zichar dishes online during this CB period. It was from the online store, 8 Crabs Seafood Kitchen and they only do deliveries with no pick up option. I believe are wholesalers of Sri Lankan crabs also, hence their assurance on the freshest and meatiest premium wild-caught crustaceans.

This is how they are packed and we had them straight from the containers.

Placing an order on the website was a breeze, like most online shopping these days and they even have a live customer support chat (they claimed not robot wor) if you need any help with ordering. Of course we had to order their crab dishes and opted for chili crab, as well as the kids' favorites such as sweet & sour pork, premium salted egg prawn balls and Yang Zhou fried rice.

This is one big container with one large crab and lots of tasty gravy!

Delivery was certainly punctual, but the litmus test, would have to be the condition of the dishes when they arrived. So far so good! They cut ventilation holes in the plastic covers to allow the steam to escape so that the food doesn't become a soggy mess and the food were still hot to the touch. 

Plump succulent prawns with a tasty coating of salted egg!

Sweet and sour pork! Yummy!

So how would I rate the food? It was definitely a great dinner for us and much better than most of the 'unrated' neighborhood stalls! The crab was fresh and meaty as described in the website with the chili gravy tasting exactly like how I imagined it to be, and simply awesome with the fried man tous! Salted egg prawn was flavorful while sweet and sour pork was a great balance of fat and lean meat which is very important! I ordered the large fried rice and it was too much for all of us!

Humongous box of fried rice! I think enough for 8 adults or more!

If you are already tired of cooking, or having the same food for the past few weeks and want to give the family a treat, hope over to their website and check out the dishes they are offering. I also read about the company supporting the needy with meals (https://8crabs.com/feed-singapore-campaign-by-8-crabs/) during this tough period and find it quite meaningful lor!
