Dropping a must-try before @rockabelity and I head off to Batam for his birthday spa! His mum suggested #TheSeafoodInternationalMarket at East Coast and it was crazy good. The Thai-Chinese cuisine totally blew me away (maybe it's because my expectations were damn low). The star dish: chilli crab. Ask for it to be served with garlic bread - yes you heard me, GARLIC BREAD. Buttered slices of baguette topped with crispy garlic bits. Then after you finish the meaty chunks of fresh crab (seriously meaty) you can dump spoonfuls of the generous amount of chili crab sauce onto your bread and just slop it all up. Here's the kicker = the sauce had peanuts in it. I bet it was the Thai influence that called for it. It made the chilli crab sauce ten times better and totally set the dish apart. The sauce isn't spicy at all, sweet and rich with a delicate tingle of spiciness is all. The crunchy bits of peanuts really make it special. Also, this is crab enough for four people and it came up to.... $47. YES. SO AFFORDABLE. Go. GO. They also have a buffet lunch for $28.90++ per person.
