I'll always go to Capital Restaurant (首都大酒家) at Bukit Pasoh for their hairy crabs.

Hairy Crab (Da Zha Xie) is a Shanghai’s favourite seasonal delicacy.
Da Zha Xie is a special type of crab found in rivers, and is normally consumed in autumn.
They are usually consumed with vinegar.
Locals are also quite fussy about when to consume male crabs and when to consume female crabs.

Chinese name for hairy crab : 大閘蟹
There are lots of procedure and technique in eating hairy crab.
It is fun and tasty but should not eat too much because of high cholesterol.
I am fine with both dates
