My family and I have been into crabs ever since the visit to No Signboard. And we discovered that Giant Tampines actually imports these MEGA SIZED crabs every week. If my information is correct, a new batch comes in every Wednesday.

And these aren’t your typical crabs, these crabs are GIGANTIC! Like really huge!!

Its like the MEGA version of any burger you find in Macdonalds, like MEGA MCSPICY or MEGA BIG MAC. Its just MEGA!

Speak no further! Proof is as below!!

My dad’s palm as comparasion and my dad stands at 1.83m tall, so his fingers are long ok!! And the crab is GIGANTIC!

The back of the fiesty little fella.

Mr crabby also happens to have these huge gigantic claws that I love to sink my teeth into!! (:

From our experience, picking crabs is really important in order to determine if the meat you get is solid or soggy!

The crabs that are fiesty and continually want to ‘fight’ back are really great to eat!

Like if they keep pushing back at you when you push at their claws and also really hard shells are also a good indication.

Of course its also important that they are fresh and alive and not frothing at the mouth when you buy them.

If you’re in it for the meat, then buy male crabs! Female crabs have a tendency to be smaller and there is no guarantee that there will be crab roe aplenty for you after cooking them.

So the safest bet for the best crabs is hard fiesty male crabs! (:
