A seafood takeaway with a 4.4 Google rating, Mari Mari Seafood trades from the Koufu food court at 1 Woodlands Height in Singapore's Woodlands, and posts updates on its Facebook page.
Singapore seafood takeaway lives or dies on freshness and timing: the best stalls cook to order, so a whole crab can take a while, which is why regulars phone ahead instead of waiting at the counter. Chilli crab and black pepper crab lead most menus, but the sauce is the real prize — bring mantou or plain rice home with it, because the sweet, eggy chilli gravy is half the meal. Sambal stingray and cereal prawns travel better than crab, which is at its best the moment it leaves the wok.
For a crab dinner without the restaurant fuss, Woodlands locals need only head to their own Koufu food court.
