Crab

We were having difficulty finding a supper spot near Lavendar. After hopping on a cab, we asked the driver for recommendations. The driver’s first suggestion was Long Beach at stadium. Unfortunately, Long Beach’s operating hours ends at 11PM. Fortunately, the second suggestion was better than the first one. We ended up at No Signboard’s Geylang branch. I’ve passed by this place many times and was deterred by the neon decorations. From the looks of it, No Signboard looks like a tourist trap. We decided to give it a shot because of the driver’s recommendation. No Signboard ‘s Crab Beehoon comes in 3 versions; it has a dry, wet and soup version. It appears that the price of crab had gone up significantly. 1kg of crab costs SGD 90. However, you will not regret paying this price at No Signboard. The crab was filled with plump and fresh crab roe. The meat was tender and easily removed from the shell. Crab meat which are not fresh tends to be difficult to remove from the shell. Little crab roes was generously found throughout the wet, sticky and umami sauce. It certainly lifted up the taste of the Bee Hoon. If I had to be picky and picked on something, it would be the type of Bee Hoon No Signboard used. I will prefer a slightly thicker version with the Bee Hoon cooked longer resulting in a mild charred taste. However, No Signboard’s wet crab Bee Hoon really exceed my expectation. The crab beehoon is accompanied by two types of chilli sauce. The first type being a chilli paste mixed with spices and onions. The second type being a Thai style chilli sauce mixed with lime juice, garlic and spices. The former pairs well with the Bee Hoon and the latter pairs well with the tender crab meat. #foodie #foodporn #foodphotography #crab #beehoon #singaporefood #hungry #supper #sgfood #seafood #geylang
