  • CRAB
  • PRAWN
PEPPER CRAB
Black Pepper has been the true “king of spice” of Sri Lanka for centuries, as red chilli was not native to the island. This signature dish is made using a dashi of whole black peppercorn and hand-crushed black pepper that is rolled on our “Miris Gala” (traditional grinding stone), fusing two native Sri Lankan ingredients together; black pepper and mud crab.
GARLIC CHILLI CRAB
A Ministry of Crab original, where Mediterranean flavours and Japanese food philosophies meet Sri Lankan crab. It is a blend of the distinct flavours of Italian olive oil, garlic, Sri Lankan chilli flakes, and Japanese soy sauce. The thick shell of the Sri Lankan mud crab adds an unbelievable depth to the flavoured oil, which is great to be soaked up with our Kade Bread
MOC ORIGINAL RECIPE SPICY CRAB
This dish is made with a fiery chilli sauce, originating from Chef Dharshan’s Japanese restaurant Nihonbashi. The umami flavours of onion and tomato are combined with red chillies of Sri Lanka and made fresh every day. This is a non-sweet sauce that makes this crab preparation unique
PURE CRAB
The mud crabs of Sri Lanka have an amazing sweetness to them and the best way to experience these majestic crustaceans would be to provide us with six hours’ notice, to steam a crab of your choice, male or female, and chill it to enhance it's flavour. Served with warm butter and ‘ponzu inspired’ original aged soy sauce, this dish may sound simple but this is what it's all about! Order male crabs for more claw meat, and female crabs for tender sweet meat.
SRI LANKAN CURRY CRAB
A traditional Sri Lankan curry that combines the island’s iconic mud crab with an array of Sri Lankan spices, sprigs of moringa, and pandan leaves. The combination of aromatic spices with the freshness of the crab gives this dish a deep flavour that is unique to this part of the world.
CRAB LIVER PÂTÉ
Our creamy crab liver pate is an umami flavour bomb. Add a drop of Kithul Treacle (palm sugar syrup) to round out the dish with an incredible smoky sweetness. Only available in limited quantities daily.
AVOCADO CRAB SALAD
Steamed and chilled white crab meat gently mixed into a wasabi mayonnaise and served in a halved avocado.
BAKED CRAB
Inspired by the classic, this dish is likened by many to crab risotto, and is rich and savoury with a hint of soy sauce that brings out the umami.
MOC(K) BAKED CRAB
A flavour bomb that substitutes crab with savoury button mushrooms in a rich béchamel sauce. Spice up this delicious starter with a dash of homemade hot sauce!
KAPHRAO CRAB
A signature dish from our sister restaurant in Bangkok, this dish is created with de-shelled mud crab meat stir fried with garlic, chilli and Thai basil, similar to how a kaphrao would be created. The fresh crab meat adds a new dimension to this iconic Thai dish!

The Freshwater Prawns of Sri Lanka, also known as Lake Lobsters, are giants compared to their counterparts across Asia and it is very rare to find a consistent supply of prawns of this size. In fact, Sri Lanka has the distinction of being one of the very few countries blessed with this culinary gem. They are farm hatched and released into the wild, growing to great sizes in the amazing lakes across the island.
Prices are in USD, Subjected to service charge and government taxes
