I love how Mama Noi just took a huge bite of that crab claw, just priceless, Mama Noi knows how to eat crab 🦀

[@hozhuofeng9877]

Eating the claw is like the most satisfying thing ever Just hold it and bite into it like a drumstick

[@prateekshamazumder9554]

The crab I had in Singapore was probably the best meal I had in my life.

[@muhammad96able]

Mom's suggestion, use the oil that used to fry the crab to fry the aromatics. The crab's sweet juice already in the frying oil.

[@tsai3009]

I like both and I’m from Singapore! 👍🦀❤️ Now I need to go have them tomorrow! 😋😋

[@Blue-xk8vq]

Congrats on your 3rd baby coming up, so sweet!

[@vso8247]

Marion you should totally try smth called creamy butter crab! Its a really popular flavour now in singapore and is made with butter, evaporated milk, sugar, curry leaves and chillies. The result is a buttery sweet lovely sauce that’s sooo yummy its my current favourite maybe even temporarily topping the chilli crab!!

[@kaelasian]

Very authentic! Am gonna look for it this wkend.

[@legendarymeals4067]

OMG it looks so good I love it!! I am in love with the mixture of these ingredients together, I will definitely make this recipe and give you my opinion afterwards.

[@annstewart8506]

I'm not keen on crab but that black pepper coating would be amazing on prawns instead.

[@gregbrooks7233]

I have watched several videos featuring crab in various sauces, and they look delicious. Your salted egg and black pepper sauces are easy to prepare. Someday I have to get some crabs and try this for myself. Chili crab too.

[@joleighshipman8342]

This looks sooooooooo good!!! I think Thai cuisine is another one of my favorites!!

[@annaarin709]

This looks so delicious.

[@tinytelephones]

This looks absolutely incredible. Time to acquire some crabs 😆

[@tatertot6620]

This looks so good! I’ve followed many of your recipes to a tee, and I’ve experimented with some others… I’ve been pretty consistent with your steam bao bun recipe which is amazing, but I must say this crab recipe looks 😎 epic and can’t wait to try

[@Marionskitchen]

That's so awesome to hear about my recipes that you've tried! Yay! I hope you can try out one of these crab recipes. Sooooo good!

[@tiffanywu5790]

This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try! I was wondering if I can use Dungeness crab instead of mud crabs? Mud crabs are hard to come by where I live!

[@Marionskitchen]

I totally think Dungeness would be amazing!

[@wongfeihung1847]

Dungeness crabs are even better! Meatier! Here in BC, the crabs are so meaty 😋

[@seanswinton6242]

@@wongfeihung1847 God you're so lucky. I'm on the East Coast and we have blue crabs which are fine, but I much more prefer Dungeness crabs.

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

I adore Moma Nori.

[@samuel.a.omotayomobilerepa5493]

cool

[@stacistaci100]

Wait, salted egg & black pepper but no chilli crab??? That is THE definitive singaporean crab dish! Would love to see your take on it (-:

[@amberle28]

Yep. Chili Crab is definitely the OG Singaporean crab dish! Maybe Marion can show how to cook it and eat it with the mantou.

[@Adscam]

Chilli crab is not the favourite in Singapore. Most Singaporeans I know prefer the black pepper crab.

[@valsomers]

Hey Marion I'm noticing your jackets☺️.

[@beulafrancis3659]

Love your jacket Marion , where can we avail this now 😜

[@nunu1869]

Mmmm!!!

Crabs has a great taste...

[@tegaekure6485]

I love Crab 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

[@judyyap8657]

Hi Marion. I love your recipes and these crabs look so yummy! For the salted egg crab, what would be a possible alternative to evaporated milk if one is lactose intolerant, to still achieve a similar taste?

[@VictoryDanDukor]

You could make your own evaporated milk with lactaid free milk.

[@judyyap8657]

@@VictoryDanDukor Oh, I just googled that! I didn’t know it was that simple and always thought it was a special blend of things and evaporated in a certain way! Thanks!

[@ebsmites7544]

That looked so good. which one did you decide was the winner, or is it a tie?

[@Marionskitchen]

OMG they were just too good I couldn't decide! I was expecting to like the black pepper way better but that didn't happen! LOL

Do u have a recipe for the salted eggs please I want be able to get them anywhere

Hi can u share pls whats ur lipstick brand and shade☺️thank you Im enjoying watching ur videos and ur mom so cheerful😘watching frm d 🇵🇭

[@Lalairu]

God it looks amazing. Its okay to use these sauces for shrimp or fried fish? I'll see which kind of crab can I find here. Thanks for sharing :3

[@amberle28]

Yes, you can. Fry the fish with flour, so that it's crispy and crackly. We do this for our fish too.

[@Lalairu]

@@amberle28 awesome. Thanks :D

[@Kenmanhl]

I think I've seen pakaged salted egg yolks in the frozen section of Asian groceries here in Melbourne. So you don't need to buy the salted duck eggs to cook and peel them.

[@ezura4760]

They’re not as good though. The texture is more waxy as they’ve had stuff added like preservatives etc. Best results are from the actual salted eggs like Marion showed.

[@jovinlai3717]

We could definitely substitute crab with deep fried pork ribs.

[@CookieMonster2901]

What do you do with the leftover salted egg whites?

[@Marionskitchen]

Fried rice!!! It was so yum!!!

[@STP191]

Can u reach the correct method to eat crab pls

[@JenuineCuisine]

Can I use kaffir leaves instead?

[@roguephoenix]

the sauces look amazing but would i be able to just substitute the whole crab for just the crab meat?

[@natto2581]

U def can but nothing beats eating out of its shell

[@Marionskitchen]

I think shrimp would be the best substitute as you kind of need a big of bulk in my opinion rather than just crab meat

[@roguephoenix]

@@Marionskitchen i didn't even think about that. thank you! your recipes are awesome as always :D

[@PrideWeWin]

Can you skip the deep oil frying first and just toss the raw crab together with the gravy? I think it’s healthier that way

[@brigittetorres5266]

Delicious yummy 🤤 sweet than you so much 🤍 God bless you

[@mervinejasmine4866]

Can you tell me the name of the restaurant in Singapore you always go to and they have a mix of different cuisines?

[@tpn1110]

Hawker centers are where you’ll find all the cuisine under one roof. Skip the fancy restaurants and get down to support local small hawkers😊

[@amberle28]

@@tpn1110 yes, agree! Plus the more delicious food are mostly in hawker centres not the fancy restaurants.

[@ndukwemoses9834]

I prefer the salted egg crab

[@harryatkinson9757]

What!!!!! No chilli crab??????????????

[@agieunice6374]

This crab really big

[@THOOODAI]

I don’t get it… all the sauce is used on the crab shell…?

[@tpn1110]

Yes. You suck on the shells. Then break shells for the meat and dunk the meat in the more sauce on the plate. That’s how it’s done and it’s divine.
