Famous JB101 at Sparkle, Science Park 2, cooks crab ten ways, from chilli crab and power black pepper crab to salted egg, typhoon shelter and its signature crab bee hoon. Nine are seasonal price, so ask before ordering. Soft Shell Crab Tanghoon is the one fixed price, at $48.
The crab page runs T01 to T10: Chilli Crab, Power Black Pepper Crab, Salted Egg Crab, Signature Crab Bee Hoon, Fragrant Crab, White Pepper Crab, Dang Gui Herbal Crab, Typhoon Crab and Western Butter Crab, all seasonal price. The tenth, Soft Shell Crab Tanghoon, is $48 and comes black pepper, salt and pepper or chilli.
For the rest of the menu, our Famous JB101 guide has prices for noodles, meats and veg.
One crab, one table, one fight. Here is how we would settle it. Chilli crab if you want gravy to mop up. Black pepper if the table hates sweet sauces. Crab bee hoon if you want the crab to double as your carbs, since the broth soaks into the noodles.
Dang gui herbal crab is the quiet pick for the person who finds the others too heavy. White pepper and typhoon shelter are the drier, punchier styles. Ask if the kitchen can split a large order across two styles, and what that does to the price.
Seasonal price means the cost depends on that day's market rate and the size of your crab. There is no number for us to quote, and anyone quoting one from an old photo is guessing.
So ask three things: the price per crab or per kg, the weight, and the total. Menu prices at JB101 include GST. If you want a fixed-price centrepiece instead, Curry Fish Head is a flat $35, see the JB101 bestsellers.
