Round up the gang for a crabby feast at this no-frills restaurant in SS2. Warning: This dinner comes with at least a 30-minute wait, so be sure to have a light bite before you start queueing. Start your meal with the super juicy and flavourful Chicken Wings (from RM3). The super fresh Crabs (from RM50/600g) are the main event here, and Burppler Terence Ong recommends having them two ways – steamed and doused in the delicious sweet and sour sauce. But wait, don't finish all the gravy! Order a plate of Fried Rice (from RM8) and drizzle it over — it's delicious.
