Felicia Chin’s crab venture

SINGAPORE — The unstoppable Felicia Chin is taking another step to being an actress-slash-F&B mogul with another eatery to her resume. Her new venture is Wholly Crab, a seafood stall at Satay By The Bay, the food court in Gardens By The Bay, which she described as a “small, no-frills joint”. It opened last Saturday and comes hot on the heels of The Mama Shop, the cafe she set up last October with fellow actress Sora Ma.

SINGAPORE — The unstoppable Felicia Chin is taking another step to being an actress-slash-F&B mogul with another eatery to her resume. Her new venture is Wholly Crab, a seafood stall at Satay By The Bay, the food court in Gardens By The Bay, which she described as a “small, no-frills joint”. It opened last Saturday and comes hot on the heels of The Mama Shop, the cafe she set up last October with fellow actress Sora Ma.

“People who know me know that I love to eat and I think seafood is something that everybody loves,” Chin said. “I thought I could combine what I love with what I think might be missing in the F&B industry. I feel seafood can be more affordable and can be made fun as well. Instead of traditional chilli and black pepper crab, I decided to add a local twist.”

That’s why you’ll find sauces such as Kung Pao, Marmite and Creamy Cheese on the menu. “My new favourite dish is marmite crab. It’s pretty addictive,” she added.

The location is meant to encourage customers to let their hair down. “I think eating is a joy. I feel that using your hands to eat is the best way of eating, especially with piping hot food right in front of you. You don’t have to dress well — just be yourself,” said Chin.

In the near future, shared Chin, there will be monthly specials to come, such as “mee rebus crab or crab with Chinese herbs — local twists that you can’t find anywhere else”.

The actress said she has big plans for more Wholly Crab outlets. She would like to expand within the year, if given the chance. “I have ambitions for it because I feel this concept can work in many places and I want to create job opportunities for people who want to be bosses but don’t want to put in so much investment. I hope that I can hire bosses rather than workers, so maybe we can share the business in other areas.” MAY SEAH
