We arrived early at 6pm on Saturday to ensure that we will definitely get our black pepper crabs. Even though, we thought we were early. We were not EARLY enough for this popular joint, and had to wait for close to an hour for a table. By 730pm, the aquarium of crabs behind was close to depletion. Yes, they are indeed popular.
(It was either taking photos of the cat on the tree or staring hungrily at other people. You pick... )
Good things are normally worth the wait. Or the queue might be just a scam to keep you so hungry that whatever you eat will feel like it is the best thing on earth.
The black pepper was finely grinded and incorporated into the addictive sauce. It was sad that there was no bun / bread / anything starchy to soak up the black peppery goodness. My only gripe was that it wasn't spicy or flaming hot, the sauce was just so addictive that it kept me going for more. Till now, I cannot put a finger on why it just tasted so good. Do keep away from the other dishes on offer by the coffeeshop, the black pepper crab is king ! The rest are just appetizers.
