Despite it being a super hot blazing day, was in the mood for seafood, so we headed to No Signboard at Geylang. It's a little strange to eat a heavy seafood meal at lunch time, but we occassionally do this when we're on leave. Plus its much much less crowded at lunch time, there were only 3 tables (all couples!) when we were there.
First up was the crispy baby sotong. Was starving so attacked this so fast and I forgot to take photos. It was warm, crispy, sweet without the honey being too overpowering. Definately something that I could snack on endlessly.
Next was butter prawns. It's usually tough to choose between ordering this (sweet and fragrant) or cereal prawns (crunchy and melt in your mouth), but here its both! Not too oily from the butter, and with hard crunchy bits that melted in our mouths. Most of the prawn shell was edible too!
Believe it or not, we ordered TWO crabs. The white pepper crab here is one of their specialities, and they manage to avoid drowning the flavour of the crab by using white instead of black pepper.
We've tried various chilli crabs at a lot of different places (Jumbo, Long Beach etc), but this is still definately the best! The chilli is not too tomato-y, not too chilli hot, sweet and absolutely delicious. The best way to eat this dish is:
1. Suck the chilli off the crab pieces
2. Pass crab piece to *insert suitable name* to deshell
3. Eat pieces of crab meat
4. Repeat until crab is finished
5. Use the hot crispy-on-outside-soft-on-inside buns to soak up curry sauce
6. Repeat until too stuffed or have run out of bun/ sauce
Was absolutely full by the time we were done. Yes, all that food was finished by 2 people, and even worse, I totally matched what *Shinta ate, except that he had 6 buns and I had 2 "only". Could barely walk once I stood up and realised how much I had eaten. Luckily the soursop jelly with lime that they provided managed to clear the palate and helped very slightly.
