Ministry of Crab

If you're a sea-food lover, this is where you want to go. Set within the charming Dutch Hospital precinct, this restaurant is almost always full and booking a table is recommended. Fragrant, mouth-watering spices are smeared over plump king prawns, local fish is fried in a variety of herbs and spices, local crabs are doused in aromatic curries, and just a whiff is enough to draw you to the eatery. The restaurant concentrates on local produce and tries its best to rely only on home-grown ingredients.

Dig into the fresh catch of the day or opt for local staples. Chilli crab, pepper crab and baked crab are their signature dishes. But whatever you decide to go with on this menu, you just can't go wrong here. Beware though that a meal here is pricey. But it is worth every paisa.
