What it is
A whole mud crab drowned in a sweet-savoury tomato-chile sauce thickened with egg ribbons — eaten with fried mantou buns and zero dignity. Ingredients: mud crabs, tomato sauce/ketchup, chile paste, garlic, ginger, shallots, eggs, vinegar, sugar, stock, spring onions, fried mantou buns. Recipe: 1) Clean and crack the crabs. 2) Fry the rempah aromatics; add tomato and chile; simmer a bright sauce. 3) Add crab; braise in the sauce until shells turn red. 4) Swirl beaten egg through for silky ribbons. Serve: with mantou for mopping — bibs advised, hands required. Flavor: sweet, tangy, gently hot, crab-rich. History: created in the 1950s by Cher Yam Tian, who sold it from a pushcart with her husband; Palm Beach Seafood later refined the version the world knows.
