Top 5 Crab Delivery Services in Singapore in 2020

Top 5 Crab Delivery in Singapore – Crabs that you can have at home that actually taste as good as the restaurants!

When it comes to food, most dishes or cuisines leave people divided. Some may love it, some may hate it, and some may have no particular preference. Crabs however, have always been a local Singapore favourite. It is so popular, that even our foreign friends find it a delicacy. In the past, a group of friends or a family may indulge in crabs to commemorate an occasion. This is because crabs were only usually served in high end restaurants, leaving you with a hefty bill to swallow after you enjoy your delicious feast. Today, with better salaries and availability of crabs, they are enjoyed on a more regular basis.

2019/2020 marked the start of COVID-19, which first saw guideline that prevented Singaporeans from dining in, then, it saw the temporary closure of food and beverage outlets. This forced many eateries to provide online delivery through apps. Crab delivery in Singapore also saw a huge increase in demand. Unfortunately, not all could make the cut of honouring this great dish that Singapore is so famously known for.

Types of Crabs

Not all types of crabs are popular in Singapore. The best flavours that Singaporeans love are black pepper crabs, chilli crabs, and salted egg yolk crabs. The one thing they all have in common is that they are a perfect concoction of Asian flavours that come together to make a seafood dish taste so distinct, unique, and addictive. You cannot be regarded as a true crab delivery service in Singapore if you do not specialise in these mentioned dishes. Indulging in your favourite crustaceans can now be done in the comfort of your home, without you having to deal with the humidity and discomfort of a brick and mortar restaurant. Today, we take a look at our opinion of the top 10 crab delivery outlets in Singapore.

1. 8 Crabs – Crab Delivery

They offer everything there is to offer. 8 Crabs wins hands down.

A famed seafood restaurant in Singapore that also offer a wide array of other seafood and meat dishes on their menu for a price that will not burn a hole in your wallet. What is impressive about 8 Crabs is that they promise 60 minute delivery for all items on their website www.8crabs.com. Imagine ordering 15 dishes for a party, and having it delivered to you that quickly. We call this a total life saver! Delivery is free for orders above $120.

It is also interesting to note that their crabs are wild catch Sri Lankan crabs that promise to be larger, meatier, and tastier. They provide an explanation on the differences with other ordinary crabs used in the market, and this can be proven with countless of happy and positive reviews by customers in the comments section of the facebook posts. The must try dish would be their Chilli Crab. It is served with a sweet and spicy sauce that is dense and has a substantial fleck of egg. To place an order, you can use these contact details:

3. Jumbo Seafood

Probably the most well known seafood restaurant with crabs as their specialty. Since the opening of their first outlet at East Coast in 1987, Jumbo Seafood has most certainly built a name for themselves. They even had a face off with Godron Ramsey in 2013, where we felt their loss may have perhaps been a little bit too harsh. Nonetheless, this has not stopped tens of thousands of Singaporeans from flocking to all of their outlets. Also known for their great service, and other delectable delights, Jumbo is one of the go to places for every occasion that is worth spending for. Their outlet at Riverside Walk is our particular favourite. Dining on the outside by the river, the satisfaction one would experience is unexplainable!

Given that their queues can be a killer, and booking them in advance may result you in being successful should you wish to patronise them on a weekend evening, their online delivery platform has certainly been a joy to many. Operating via Oddle, they have set menus serving 3 to 4 individuals that include their famed Chilli Crabs that cost $266.45.
