"One of my favourite local dishes is Chilli Crab! I fell in love with this dish the day I touched the shores of Singapore (in 1999), which I now call home. It is a dish that best represents Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore as a melting pot of diverse ethnicities and cultures. Its main ingredient, chilli, is an integral part of Southeast Asian cuisine regardless of race and ethnicity. If I have to put Singapore on a plate, it would be Chilli Crab as it symbolises Singapore's rich multi-cultural heritage (Chinese, Malays, Indians) in a dish."
