Chile Crab

One of the most popular snacks sold at the famous open-air food bazaars of Singapore is a huge platter of fresh crabs stir-fried in a sweet, spicy sauce. You eat this crab dish, like many others, with your fingers; it’s worth the mess. (If that doesn’t appeal to you, try this dish with precooked crabmeat.)

Remember, crabs must be alive and kicking (or cooked) when you buy them. Information on Thai fish sauce (nam pla).
