Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants started in 2013 and Ministry of Crab was just over a year old at that time. Today, it is in its third year, and we are honoured to be on this prestigious list in Asia. What does it mean for Ministry of Crab to be here? Of all the restaurants on the list, it is probably the most unique, where local ingredients are used in its totality. We thrive on the facts that we do not use freezers for our seafood and that we are mainly a Sri Lankan lagoon crab restaurant. Our kitchens are open, and the restaurant is set in one of the most historical and iconic buildings in Colombo and the oldest in Asia. Speciality crab restaurants have been around in Singapore for decades and they have always used Sri Lankan crab. Ministry of Crab was created to re-own the crab in Singapore and its success and ranking in this list is an honour to our country where we draw the strength to make this successful restaurant.
