Jpot Singapore has recently released a new iconic flavor for a distinct Singapore hotpot style – The Chilli Crab Soup! Jpot is already well-known for its Singapore flavored soup broth like Laksa and Ba Ku Teh but seriously, this hot and spicy chilli crab flavor just stepped up its game for Jpot. I am going to say YES to anything spicy!
Jpot is currently offering the Chilli Crab set menu at a promotion of $52/set (U.P. $62.80). Alternatively, you may order ala-carte at about $20 per pot.
Needless to say, the set menu is more worth the money as it includes a variety of other seafood including live prawns, sliced squid, sliced toman fish, fish-balls, prawn balls, fish paste tofu, fried fish skin/ beancurd skin, and the second highlight of the set – deep fried mini buns.
I am suddenly thankful that my brother also loves spicy food as such.
Here are the instructions to finish your hotpot meal with the Iconic Chilli Crab. If you’re confused, don’t worry because the staff at Jpot will help you complete your chilli crab sauce when you are done with the steamboat portion.
Remember to save your crab for the best part!
The “secret” to the delicious thick and gooey Chilli Crab Sauce is to add cornstarch and egg to your leftover soup broth, which helps to thicken the soup and turn it into sauce texture.
You can’t complete your Chilli Crab meal without these piping hot and fried Mantou buns. Other than condensed milk, it’s a perfect combination with the sweet and spicy sauce. The buns are so delicious that it is quite difficult to stop at one.
Only 4 buns are included in the set menu, but you can top up from the ala-carte menu.
As usual, you will be spoilt for choices as Jpot offers different types of meat and seafood for you to pick from, which also caters to different budget. Pick from a selection of normal, premium or wagyu beef to satisfy your meat cravings. I recommend the premium sliced beef instead as I noticed a slight drop in standard for the Wagyu Beef (Not too worth it).
The rest are pretty much reasonable and of decent quality.
