H&S CAFÉ

H&S CAFÉ (also known as 蟹中蟹) sits right in the bustling Taman Mount Austin enclave, redefining JB seafood runs for visiting Singaporeans. Forget the chaotic, sweaty seafood traps; this place boasts a spacious, comfortable dining room and operates strictly with no pork and no lard. Best of all, diners consistently report a lack of long waiting times, making it an easy, relaxing dinner hit that stays open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, closing just slightly earlier at 10:30 PM on Wednesdays.

Crab is the undisputed king here. Patrons repeatedly rave about the salted egg crab, praising the sauce as thick, creamy, and far superior to standard zi char joints. If you are ordering crabs in bulk, the kitchen executes multiple flavor profiles well—like chilli and white pepper—though the sour & spicy sauce leans a bit tart for some palates. Pair the crustaceans with their highly praised fried rice. The salmon fried rice is a standout, complete with customizable spiciness levels and a free drink when ordered as a promo set.

Value and aggressive pricing are what keep the tables turning. The restaurant frequently runs a killer buy-one-free-one XL crab promotion for RM78 (limited to one per table for dine-in), alongside multi-person Set A and Set B bundles that offer massive, hunger-busting portions. Even the cheaper sets without crab pack a punch, featuring standout sides like their surprisingly delicious broccoli. Backed by an attentive boss and service crew who actively address feedback, H&S CAFÉ easily secures its spot as a top-tier, affordable Mount Austin seafood staple.
