Alaska King Crab at Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant

Early this month, I got to enjoy the mother of all crabs, the Alaska King Crab.

There are only two restaurants in Singapore which serves this dish apparently, one of them being Ah Yat Restaurant at Turf City. With the 40-50% discount on seafood items (even for dinner) which the restaurant had, the Alaskan King Crab (Red) cost SGD6 / 100gm. As you would know, the Alaska King Crab is a large species and the one that was brought for our inspection was 2300gm. We had wanted the more lively of the two in the tanks but both crabs were reserved in advance so the restaurant had to specially order this one for us. It was either this or no king crab. It is therefore advisable to make reservations in advance. Here's a picture of our dinner crawling on the mat before the seafood tanks before being taken to the kitchen.

The Slog Reviews: 10/10 for the Alaska King Crab. Such mind-blowing tender sweet meat - and so much of that (meat), especially the legs. Ah Yat does a fine job of cooking and presenting the crab so I would suggest heading there to treat yourself and your loved ones to something really good if you have SGD 150 burning a hole in your pocket.
