When you're in Singapore and craving for seafood, just go to any food center and the hawkers will surely offer you either one of these: Chili Crab, Chili Crayfish and Chili Stingray.
The Chili Crab is considered as one of Singapore's natioanal dishes, together with Chicken Rice and Mee Goreng. The thick gravy is made from red chillies, tomato sauce, eggs, spring onion and spices. It is best eaten with you bare hands. Feel free to lick the gravy from your fingers. Usually served with steamed rice but you can also ask for French bread. Price: S$ 14-42 (by weight)

Next is the Chili Crayfish. It may be steamed or grilled. You'll just love the juicy crayfish meat. They'll serve it to you already halved, so there's no problem digging the meat. Can be eaten plain or with steamed rice. Make sure it's fresh, and it will be very juicy. Price: starts at S$ 8 (by weight)
Usually grilled, the Chili Stingray (also BBQ Stingray), is topped with sambal chili paste and served on banana leaves. It also comes with a chili & onion dip. Don't forget to squeeze the lime over the meat. Goes well with steamed rice. The stingray meat won't be as nice without the chili, trust me! Price: S$ 7-14You can try those at the Newton Hawker Centre, East Coast Seafood Centre and Chomp Chomp Food Centre at Serangoon Gardens.
