Dancing Crab

We came here to dine because I've heard numerous great reviews for this seafood restaurant. When you walk into the restaurant, you'll see an "aquarium" of crabs and lobsters. We were brought to be seated with a gorgeous view of the Sentosa skyline and cable cars. First, we ordered a spicy "Chili Crab Bread Bowl", priced at $118. For 2 chili crabs 🦀 , I think this was priced quite high if you compare it to Jumbo Seafood. It was also a huge hassle to eat this because the claws was not even cracked open for us. Not only was it not cracked open for our consumption, but they also did not even try to provide a crab mallet for us to use. The eating experience was hell for the crabs.. ☹️ Second, we ordered a "Nachos with Crab Meat", priced at $14.50. The nachos were delicious but the crab meat was honestly quite weird and disgusting. It felt like the crab meat was not fresh and mushy. Third, we ordered a "Live Lobster Roll with Truffle Fries" 🦞, priced at $41.80. This was definitely my favorite dish of all. Lobster meat was tender and juicy but I think could have had a little more meat in it. The coleslaw mixed well with the butter toasted bread and lobster meat.

So incredibly delighted by the excellent experience. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bit of it. The price seem expensive but I must say the it is totally worth it. The staff was extremely friendly and supportive. We love the way they have presented our cake! It was a pity we went there after sunset or not the view would be definitely stunning.

Overall a sub-par experience and not worth the price and hype. The only saving grace was the Chili Crab sauce that was rich and delicious. 1. Signature Chili Crab: The crab we had looked big on the outside but was hallow on the inside. Pretty disappointed with the quality of the crabs. Bread bowl was nice at the beginning but became hard to eat after awhile. 2. Garlic Prawn Pasta: Noodles was dry, and the shrimp was dry and hard to bite into. Seemed like the shrimp was kept overnight. We added the pasta with the Chili crab sauce as it was too dry. 3. Fish & Chips: The Fish fillet was tough. Coleslaw was okay and the quality of the fries was below average. Service is also relatively tardy and inattentive to details. It was hard to get the service crew to assist despite not having a crowd.
