Golden Salted Egg Crab, the National Day special

Golden Salted Egg Crab is the kitchen’s National Day special. When we read the ordering site on 3 October 2026 it was listed as a limited-time special, alongside a Golden Salted Egg Prawn dish.

What is the dish?

The catalogue describes a fresh, meaty whole mud crab, wok-tossed in a dry-style salted egg yolk gravy, with curry leaves and a hint of chilli padi. Dry-style means the golden coating clings to the shell and the crab instead of pooling in a sauce. That is the difference between this and the five signature crab dishes, which all arrive in a broth, a gravy or a sauce. The photograph shows exactly that: a crab dusted in golden crumbs on a bed of curry leaves, with salted eggs beside it.

The kitchen’s menu says its mud crabs come from Sri Lanka and are delivered daily. That is the kitchen’s claim, and we pass it on as the kitchen’s claim.

How is it priced?

It has its own price list, a step above the signature dishes.

The catalogue lists no Regular size for this dish, and no XL+ version. The signature column uses the five bee hoon and crab styles from the crab page.

Why National Day?

The launch copy tied the dish to National Day, which is 9 August. We have not been able to document the year, the dates of the window or the exact day the dish first went on sale. All we can say is that the dish carries National Day wording and that it was still listed as a limited-time special in October 2026.

How do you order it?

Whole crab dishes are advance orders: the catalogue asks for one day’s notice before the serving date. Dine-in and self pick-up are at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, which is where the full crab range is prepared. The AMK Hub kiosk has a limited crab range of only the Crab Bee Hoon Soup and the Crab Laksa Bee Hoon, so it is not the place for this dish. Delivery fees depend on distance. Do not forget that you need a way to eat it: crab is a hands-on dish, and the kitchen sells a limited edition metal crab cracker, covered in our post on the Hokkaido crab meat dishes.

What should allergic or dietary diners know?

• The dish contains shellfish and salted egg yolk, so egg and crustacean allergies are directly relevant.
• The kitchen states that its products contain nuts, eggs, dairy and gluten.
• There is no pork and no lard in the kitchen. The kitchen is not Halal-certified.

What should you check before you go?

Because it is a limited-time special, confirm three things: that it is still on the menu, that the size you want is available and that the lead time still applies. A short message to the kitchen’s hotline on +65 6993 3333 settles it. The season page for National Day lists everything we can document about it.
