Laura BouldenApril 2, 2013Amazing food- the pickled watermelon and crispy pork belly is an absolute must!
Juliana UribeOctober 9, 2011Got to order the lemon mussels. After, just pour the sauce into any rice. Amazing! To drink, order the coconut water!
Winson WongFebruary 4, 2015This place is not bad. It's authentic enough but pretty pricey for Singaporean / Malaysian food. The pork is good, crab is decent, vege portion was tiny. Clay pot is average. Overall it's ok.
Grace CheungApril 16, 2011The Chili Crab was the lowest level of heaven. Dip the bread in the sauce. Nasi Lemak had lots of exploding flavours too.

Zach MaierDecember 15, 2011Good selection if spicy drinks that compliment the food well. Try the michelada or the chupacabra.

Momar VisayaMarch 3, 2012Try the Chili Crab - Specialty of the House, Chili Crab with chili sauce, white toast
Annie TolochinskiJune 25, 2015The main dish was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Pork buns were actually really good but coupled with a pushy waiter - I wouldn't come back.
Sam SaundersJune 8, 2011Stop your gushing. This place is seriously over-priced on all levels: from wines to apps to mains. Get on the train and go to Chinatown. Save yourself about $100 for two, easily.
Suejin YangMarch 15, 2009The pork belly sliders and chicken rice are ridiculous. Also, the bread and sauce that accompany the signature crab dish can be ordered as a side. Don't miss out on any of this!
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 3, 2016If you want to freshen up with a delicious cocktail at Fatty Crab, try a Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
Shah Abdul-WahidJune 15, 2015The worst Malaysian/Chinese food I have had the misfortune to eat. Waited years to try this place - the was no singular good or authentic taste to any of the dishes. The rendang was sweet. Go figure!
Melanie W.February 20, 2013Do yourself a favor and order extra toast to soak up the sauce from the chili crab.
- i'll have the usual please: pork buns, duck, watermelon/pork salad, fish & sambal, coconut rum drink...
- when you are in the mood to work for your food: chili crab for sure, delicous, messy and great bread to sop up the chili sauce
Masha MurakhovskyFebruary 10, 2012Super spicy food, not for the faint. Papaya & mango salad is so so so good!
Cece LAugust 4, 2013Wear long pants if you're going to sit outside in the summer; this is a mosquito alert.- Pueblo Viejo TequilaFebruary 15, 2016When you visit Fatty Crab, start by ordering a delicious cocktail mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 29, 2015If you are in Fatty Crab, try a real Mexican taste, order a Spicy Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
YunsunDecember 28, 2010And, if you don't want the mess of the crab, you can just order a side of toast & the chili crab sauce!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011It’s true…the chili crab is a must. Messy, but a must! - Inspector
