Gee, I had seafood at Jumbo last night ;p Yup, it was (supposedly) not only the birth place of chili crabs, Roland's father (Mr Lim) and his wife (Mdm Cher) were also the creators of the above dish, crispy baby squids & sotong you tiao. However, the original chili crab was very different ~ sweet and without sambal or eggs. Mdm Cher used to be there, a very nice lady and said to be the woman behind all the recipes.

Chili Crab
Roland Restaurant

Didn't re-style my crab to make it look like a crab. Just took the photo as how it was served.
I don;t eat crab...so not much to comment. Rating base on the sauce only :bsmilie:
The sauce was great when paired with my mini fried man tou. Not too sweet like some other places

Sorry typo error, Mr Lim (the policeman who wore shorts) is the father, Sin Leong is the godfather. Iirc Roland Restaurant was originally Sin Leong Restaurant, renamed after Roland's take over.

The chili crabs still looks :thumbsup: Perhaps taking it from another angle, with the shell in the back?

Oh dear, having steak to pass time? :sweat::sweat:
I remember the original Han's in my neighborhood in Springleaf some 20 years ago, it was inexpensive and yet delicious, the breakfast set of toast with bacon/ham/egg + coffee or tea was only $3.50...:thumbsup: Those were the days....

Hi ronnie_gogs,

I think you should create a thread and post your photo there showing all your nice photos rather then post it here :)

btw your food photo looks a bit soft and watch your wb too :)

Sure will do that... The softness and WB was PP wanted to create the focus on the pancake...
