We experienced a lovely, warm welcome when we entered the Fatty Crab and were shown to the bar. Nice bustling atmosphere with friendly bar and door staff - so far so good! Our friend was 45mins late but the manager was insistent on not seating us until he had arrived, even though the restaurant was only half full. That's their policy I guess, but still...Our waiter, very friendly and easy on the eyes, suggested the number of plates we should select from the "raw", "skinny" and "fatty" sections o
Our waiter, very friendly and easy on the eyes, suggested the number of plates we should select from the "raw", "skinny" and "fatty" sections of the menu and informed us that the sharing plates from the "fatty" menu were 'really big'.
"Raw": Oysters were nice and fresh and would recommend the French ones over the Australian.
"Skinny": The smoked pork ribs were heavenly - my gripe is that the waiter didn't tell us that only two ribs made up one serving, so each couple had to share one rib. Albeit to say, we were fighting over it! We would have ordered another serving but this took the longest to arrive (besides the crab). The fatty sliders were a decent size with a very tasty patty. Smoked eggplant salad was good.
The crispy pork with watermelon salad was the highlight of the entire meal - the pork belly and watermelon combination is something I've never had before but it works! Portion was smaller than expected for a sharing plate - could have passed it off for a skinny plate. The char kway teow was only okay sadly - the portion wasn't huge and lacked a real kick to it. I was really looking forward to this dish as it's one of my favourite singaporean/malay dishes but did not live up to expectations. The chilli crab also missed the mark - the portion was small for the $500+ price tag, the crab wasn't very meaty and the sauce (although tasty) had an unusual thick consistency.
Desserts: After feeling like the food barely touched the sides, we shared two desserts - an warm chocolate cake and a peanut butter sundae which were standard.
Overall, I did enjoy the meal, even after having a small heart attack seeing the $2400+ bill (not including service but included alcohol). I would definitely come back for those ribs and the crispy pork and would just skip the expensive oysters and the chilli crab.
