The restaurant will be opened on Jul. 3, 2024, on Dempsey Hill.

The brand prides itself in not using anything frozen, and only using the freshest ingredients for its crabs and other various seafood dishes.

Besides Singapore, it also has outlets in various parts of the world such as Bangkok, Shanghai, and the Maldives.

Here's the full menu:

And here's what we tried:

Crab Liver Pâté (S$25++)

Considered as Ministry of Crab's "caviar", this dish is only available in limited quantities daily.

Crab Chawanmushi (S$15++)

This starter features delicate Sri Lankan mud crab meat in steamed egg custard with a chilli oil glaze.

Garlic Bread (S$7++)

Small Pure Crab (from S$90++)

We opted for the small crab which was about 700 grams.

The dish is also served with warm butter, homemade calamansi ponzu, and chilli vinegar for you to dip the crab meat in.

Tip: You can order male crabs if you prefer more claw meat, or female crabs if you like tender, sweet meat.

Colossal Garlic Chilli Crab (from S$190++)

We chose the colossal crab which weighed about 1.2 kilograms.

This crab was cooked in Italian olive oil and Japanese soy sauce.

You can opt for the non-spicy version and the garlic pepper version, where black peppercorns are used instead of Sri Lankan chilli flakes.

You can also dip your bread into the savoury olive oil mixture.

Small Garlic Chilli Prawn (from S$25++)

We got the small prawns which were roughly 150 grams to 200 grams.

Besides garlic chilli, it also serves pepper, chilli, olive oil and soy style prawns.
