[CLOSED] Wholly Crab (The Bedok Marketplace)

First of all, we wanted to get the chicken nuggets; not sure how many pieces for $5 tho. (Only written as 'chicken nuggets $5 TODAY ONLY' on small chalkboard in front of cashier). Nvm that they didn't remove that when they were out of nuggets.

After we were told they were out of chicken nuggets, my hub ordered the fries instead.
I looked around for the price/ menu ... Not written anywhere.
Then I realised it costs $8. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The 'other menu', besides the small chalkboard in front of the cashier, was a bigger chalkboard (like the height of a painting size easel). But it wasn't the complete menu too.
I spotted some laminated A4 sheets pasted at a counter away from the cashier, at waist level. I presumed those sld be the menu/ pricelist since I can't see the tiny photographs as well.🤷‍♀️
Apparently there a menu at the cashier.

Since this is a food (hawker) centre, it would be good to at least offer different sizes like S/M/L for the fries instead of making people pay $8 for the fries.

2 of us struggled, but could only finish half the fries.
My wanton mee costs $4 only loh.

This stall has some areas for serious improvement.
And $8 for fries @a food centre = not quite worth.

Quite ex since the crab is only about 500g (or less?) but the sauces here are something different from those that you get at tzechar stalls. Cajun goes really well with the crab although there's nothing cajun about it, more like a soy garlic sauce and if you ask for extra spicy they will cook it with chili padi. Also highly recommend the tomyam cream sauce (goes well with clams too). Overall I still prefer The Boiler but this is slightly cheaper.

Staying true to their crab in a bucket theme, the dish was also served in a bucket and poured out on a brown paper for eating. The sauce was fiery hot but shiok, with a nice burn around the mouth. Generous portion of seafood and noodles, definitely filling for a large appetite person! Shall try the value for money Love Bucket ($60) next time I'm there! If you can't make it to Satay By The Bay, there's one in the east at the Bedok Marketplace :)

Most mussels didn't open which hinted about the freshness of the seafood. Cracking open the crab shells, you don't get the plump flesh. At SGD$123, it was stated as a serving for 4 to 5 pax but the fruit salad don't seem to feed even 3. Truly a disappointment for me and my family. I guess the cze char stall beside it serves much better, quality food.

If I want my Louisiana cuisine, I will stick to Dancing Crab.
