Kepiting saus Padang is a traditional seafood dish. It consists of crab that's served in spicy Padang sauce. Mud crabs or blue crabs are usually used for the preparation of this dish. They're boiled in hot water until fully cooked (they will turn red), then shortly simmered in the sauce.

The spicy Padang sauce is usually made with a combination of shallots, garlic, ginger, candlenuts, chili peppers, turmeric, onions, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaves, ketchup, and oyster sauce. It's often enriched and thickened with lightly beaten eggs. 

She-crab soup, somewhat of a cross between a bisque and a chowder, is a soup made with heavy cream or milk, crabmeat, sherry, fish or crab stock, and roe—a key ingredient in the dish that improves the flavor and is responsible for the color.

A regional specialty of Tidewater, Virginia, the South Carolina Lowcountry, and Georgia coast, it was first introduced to these parts by the Scottish settlers in the 1700s in the form of partan-bree, a famous seafood bisque, but it was not until the 1900s that the soup gained its present-day form.

Stone crab claws are a popular seafood dish, particularly in areas where stone crabs are native, such as Florida in the United States. Stone crabs are unique in that they are often harvested for their claws alone, while the rest of the crab is returned to the ocean alive.

The result was so delicious that her family persuaded her to start selling the dish, so chilli crab began its way to become the signature dish of Singapore.
