Happy Crab
609 Geylang Rd (Map) 4.30pm – 8.30pm Daily
Peter used to be a crab supplier and got tired of selling so he decided to hawk them in the quaint little coffeeshop along Geylang, where the live TV (witheld currently due to Covid19) and friendship among regulars draw them in each evening. He knows his crabs so you can be assured they are meaty Sri Lankan wonders. It is first poached then grilled for maximum smokey flavour and he smears it with black pepper sauce as it grills. It is served amazingly aromatic, along with three dips: mayonnaise, wasabi soy and sambal (or soy chilli). He does not sell much each day and is happy to head home after the last crab is fired up, and he sells just that one item.

Daniel Teo and his partners should be given a bravery award for opening this stall amid the Covid pandemic. Firstly, because it's in a secluded (but cosy cul de sac) kopitiam near a Hakka cemetery and secondly, for offering shellfish, and just that. But he knows Singaporeans love for see hum (blood cockles), espeically the larger ones. He brings them in in from East Malaysia and they wash, shuck and clean them daily (about 100kg a day!). It is quick blanched and then chilled. The are perfectly done with juices intact it and comes with a sharp Thai style chilli (he has a Thai cook in attendance). It cost a tad more but come evening, almost every table in the kopitiam has a order of the see hum (both larger and normal sized). Their menu includes giant oysters (almost the size of an adult palm) and local mussels. The other items not to miss is the Moo Yang, grilled honeyed pork, and the steamed gong gong (whelks) with a spicy sharp thai chilli sauce.
