Black pepper crabs, as its name suggests, beside the rampant use of the black pepper and yet not overpowering, the rest of the ingredients remained as mystery to us. ER said there was generous use of wine, Rika suspected marmite was used and I guessed there was seafood sauce in it. Anyway, a check on the comments online said plum sauce was used. With all that said, black pepper crabs from this eatery were meaty, fresh, flavourful and delicious though the sauce has a hint of sweetness, a marked difference from all the black pepper crabs we had tried. Thumbs up! The sauce was smooth and really unique!
