  • Chilli Crab is widely known to be Singapore’s national dish. In fact, some specifically call it Singaporean Chilli Crab or the king of all crab dishes.
    Most popular accounts say Singapore’s Madam Cher Yam Tian created the dish in the 1950s. But every few years, the dispute over dishes gets spicy between the two neighbouring countries. In the launch of its International Gourmet Festival in 2009, Malaysia claimed that other countries have hijacked their food and that Chilli Crab is Malaysian.
    So, did Singapore really take over a Malaysian dish? Host Chef Ming Tan picks through the shells to get to the meat of the matter: where is chilli crab from?

    As Indonesians, we also think that chilli crab is a special food from Singapore, not Malaysia, because many crab dishes in Indonesia use the name Singapore Sauce. Apart from that, Indonesia also has a special crab sauce called Padang Sauce.
