6. HOLYCRAB

For something a little different, HOLYCRAB offers a modern take on chilli crab. Instead of the usual red sauce, they are known for their green chilli crab — lighter, more aromatic, and less sweet.

While not traditional, it’s an interesting variation that shows how this classic dish continues to evolve in Singapore’s dining scene.

How to Choose the Right Chilli Crab Restaurant

If it’s your first time trying chilli crab in Singapore, JUMBO Seafood is a safe and reliable starting point. For something bolder, Long Beach delivers a stronger chilli kick, while Mellben offers a more local, value-driven experience.

If you’re curious about the dish’s origins, Roland Restaurant offers a historical perspective, while No Signboard Seafood remains a solid classic. For a modern twist, HOLYCRAB is worth trying.

Most chilli crab dishes are priced by weight (typically around S$80 to S$150 per kg), so it’s always a good idea to check the size and price before ordering.

In Singapore, fish spas are often tucked into unique settings, making them easy to enjoy as part of a day out rather than a standalone treatment. Below are two popular fish spas that visitors often return to, each offering a fun and refreshing way to slow down and take a break from the usual routine.

2. Qian Hu Discover Fish Spa

Tucked within the grounds of the ornamental fish farm, the Qian Hu Discover Fish Spa offers a quiet moment to slow down. It is the kind of stop you naturally gravitate towards after spending time on your feet, inviting you to sit back and enjoy a short, unhurried break.

As you dip your feet into the pool, the Garra Rufa fish begin gently nibbling at the skin. It can feel slightly ticklish at first, but that sensation soon fades into something calm and oddly satisfying. Many visitors find themselves lingering longer than expected, enjoying the simple experience before moving on. It is a casual activity that fits naturally into a visit to Qian Hu, especially if you are looking for a light, relaxing moment during the day.
