Leftover Idea: Chilli Crab Pasta
We had chilli crabs for dinner last night but we over-ordered and had to ta-bao (take away) half of it back.
For today’s lunch, inspired by tigerfish’s spicy shrimp prawn pasta, I decided to make a no-brainer pasta dish from the leftovers. I just heated up the crabs, and served them over some cooked pasta. As easy as cooking can get ;p
Experimenting with food presentation. Serving the noodles inside the shell. Isn’t it adorable? I think it makes a good-looking side dish =p If I am the first one to ever do this, can I please patent it hehe? =P

Oh no. I’m one nanomillimeter away from drooling all over my keyboard.
Chili Crab and Pasta is such a lovely combination, and one I can never pass up. Thanks NC, it looks amazing!
Oh yeah, this does look good!
What a great looking dish! And congrats on being Foodbuzz 24. I can’t wait to read about it.
The pasta looks delicious. The sauce would work well with rice too.
Congrats on being one of the 24. Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna blog about. :)
BTW, I meant to submit something for GYO when you hosted but I missed the deadline. :(
Verification word today is hamster. Nothing special about that. Phew!
Yummy pasta! I love the pasta in the crab shell, very creative presentation! Congrats on being Foodbuzz 24! :) :up:
WOW! Chilli crabs are my favorite. And tossing pasta in the sauce is absolutely brilliant!! :XO:
I like the shot of the pasta sitting in the shell, looks really exquisite. :-)
Congrats on the foodbuzz 24, you’re the only one who planted a spot in our region. I’m so proud of you. :D
This is probably the best use of leftover take out ever!!
Wow – congrats on being one of the 24 – can’t wait to hear the details!
This is the third time I’ve tried to leave a comment on this crab, but the system somehow keeps rejecting me! LOL
Fantabulous presentation. . .and I’m eagerly anticipating. . .

If there were soft shell crabs, the plate will be empty now. Pasta + crab (including shell) all down my stomach! :)
Did you like it? This style of pasta? :p
Congrats on the Foodbuzz feature.
I looooove chili crab. Usually I sop up the sauce with bread but pasta sounds like a great idea too.
tigerfish:: I love soft shell crabs too! :XO: I love this style, thanks for the idea :D :-)
gaga:: Ooo I love it with bread too … especially fried “mantous” (chinese buns)*drools* Thanks for visiting me!

I miss having crabs while in NZ. Hopefully I can visit Singapore again for that incredible chili crab at Long Beach Dempsey.
