Foodies in Beijing can now sample Singapore's so-called national dish－chilli crabs－at the newly opened Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.
The mud crabs are cooked in a tomato-chilli-egg sauce with spices such as garlic and lemon grass.
Then, wearing a bib with an orange cartoon crab on it, guests can sample the juicy crabs, with tiny steamed or fried buns to mop up the sauce.
The restaurant, at Beijing's landmark shopping mall SKP, is the first Jumbo Seafood outlet in the capital.
The seafood restaurant chain, established in 1987, is a household name in Singapore.
It has three outlets in downtown Shanghai and will open another one in the city at the end of the year.
