If you are craving for a scrumptious crab meal without wanting to pay for expensive seasonal prices, then the new Kenny’s Krabbi down at The Venue Shoppes is the place you must visit. It specialises in a wide variety of zi char favourites and crab dishes such as crab porridge, crab bee hoon and Singapore chilli crab.

Helmed by Kenny Ng, this is the chef-owner’s second venture into the F&B industry after several years of experience as a banquet sous chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

This restaurant is all that you need to satisfy your crab cravings and what’s more, all their prices for crabs are fixed regardless of the season!

Lovers of crab bee hoon will surely seek comfort in their Rich Broth Crab Bee Hoon 600g Crab (Half – S$20, Whole – S$38). The crab pieces are first tossed around in a fragrant broth so as to further intensify it and the noodles are added in during the last few seconds so it retains a nice chew.

For S$20, what you get is a huge bowl of noodles and crabs that will easily feed two people which is a pretty good deal considering that the same dish elsewhere would cost you much more.

For solo diners, one option we would highly recommend is the Deep-Fried Fish Head Soup (S$6.90). The combination of sweet and savoury tones is a result of boiling the broth for over six hours so diners can expect nothing less but rich, intense fish stock.

The fish head pieces were deep-fried to a glorious shade of golden brown and there was a fantastic texture contrast between the crispy fish and smooth thick noodles.

A good accompaniment to your meal is the Hong Kong Kai Lan with Garlic Oyster Sauce (S$4.90). Stir-fried in the open kitchen upon order, ours had a nice smooth glossy sheen from the oyster sauce that was lathered on top of the crunchy vegetables.

Beyond what we have tried, Kenny’s Krabbi also have other seafood alternatives such as Rich Broth Crab Porridge 800g Crab (Half – S$32, Whole – S$60), Singapore Chilli Crab (600g – S$46, 800g – S$68) and Red Garoupa Sliced Soup (S$13).

Dessert lovers in Singapore are truly spoiled for choice, especially with the vast array of dessert joints available. And as if we did not have enough ice cream parlours and dessert cafes, here we introduce FroRoll, a quirky new dessert cafe that recently opened up at The Venue Shoppes along Tai Thong Crescent in Potong Pasir.

FroRoll is an artisanal ice cream dessert cafe that aims to bring a refreshing twist to traditional ice cream desserts. They offer a smorgasbord of elaborate and whimsical desserts, reminiscent of something out of a Tim Burton film.

The baked goods and ice cream here at FroRoll are all made in-house daily to ensure consistency, freshness and the highest quality desserts. An interesting fact to know is that this imaginative dessert joint is opened by Campus Superstar alumni, Keely Wee.

The cafe features an open concept whereby guests can feel free to stand and watch as their desserts are put together by the friendly staff.

If you are looking for something a little less than usual, flip through the menu of elaborate creations and you will stumble upon something called the Volcanic Avalanche (S$15.80)—which is essentially a raspberry molten lava cake hidden within a volcano of dark chocolate, drizzled with raspberry sauce and surrounded by bits of brownie and crunchy toasted bread sprinkled at the side.

Upon serving, liquid nitrogen is poured over the ‘volcano’ for theatric effect and to spark some initial excitement—don’t forget to snap a video of the process for the gram!

On the other end of the taste spectrum, go for something like the Key Lime Pie (S$10.80) which is a much tarter alternative to their other dessert offerings.

A fairly generous dollop of lime and calamansi ice cream sits atop a hot dog bun and is finished off with a mini key lime cake and a drizzle of a citrusy syrup. The nut brittle that comes with it adds a nice crunch and a subtle savoury element that balances out the sourness really well.
