Looking for a great place to eat Chili Crab in Singapore and Long Beach Seafood kept coming up on the top places to eat. We jumped in a cab and headed to the East Coast Seafood Center to find out if this place was worthy of all the hype and rave reviews. We found the restaurant on a wide stretch of ocean that is lined with Seafood restaurants. Very clean, open and family friendly area where we found be walking, jogging and walking their dogs along the walkway. The evening we visited was perfect for outdoor dining so we opted for the patio which was perfect. The wait staff who was mostly Filipino were very polite and gracious. One waitress did however attempt to push a White Crab on us over and over again. I kept telling her Chili Crab and she kept pointing to the White Crab.

The menu here is huge with a variety of fresh, local seafood. So much to choose from but we stuck with the basics. Once settled in with a fruit drink for the Wife and some White Wine for me we ordered up a Black Pepper Crab and Chili Crab for our table of three. As an appetizer we ordered the Garlic Razor Clams. These were good but there was a minimal amount of Clam and tons of garlic. Digging into the Chili Crab was heaven. The sauce with a bit of spice really was delicious. You gotta gear up to eat this with gloves and bib or else you will get really messy and smelly. There is no easy way to eat these crabs. You just gotta put on the gloves and start ripping and tearing them apart. Crackers are provided but we found just digging in with your fingers to work best. Did not think anything could beat the Chili Crab but the Black Pepper Crab was even better. Actually good to get both so you can enjoy both flavors. They don't post prices for the Crabs so we were flying in the dark on price. Total tab for our dinner for three came out to just under $400. Not cheap but good food and experience.
