Signature dish

We were cruising along the restaurants in Boat Quay at night, stopping at every restaurant, approaching the waiters/waitresses for the first time instead of them approaching us first. All for the sake of getting the best valued chilli crab.

SGD48/kg
SGD40/kg
SGD60/kg
SGD38/kg
SGD50/kg
SGD45/kg

R: "There's another restaurant back down there, selling theirs at SGD40/38... And yours is SGD60/50?" (Acting like a true blue Singaporean by now - bargaining)
W: "But Sir, they're not Sri Lankan crabs! Sri Lankan crabs have more meat. But Sir, wait wait, we can give you a discount to SGD 45."

What a rip off. Especially the one who initially quoted SGD60 and then lowered the price to SGD 45. They must have thought "this European man wouldn't know a thing about the market price". They must have thought I wasn't local and easily fooled too seeing I was with three other foreigners. I mean, give me a bit of face or something. Haha. Quoting such a price to a Singaporean is almost, rude. We settled for the 38, of course and it was a Sri Lankan crab (supposed to have more meat and less redundant weight, i.e. legs etc). So that was, definitely a good deal.

And it was absolutely delicious and worth it. Service was great, atmosphere and view were both brilliant. I really liked it.
