There’s an awesome restaurant in Bacolod that specializes only in simple boiled crabs. It’s a simple dish but this restaurant has hordes of people lining up even before it opens! Here is our article on Crab King – the extremely popular Crab restaurant!

Crab King is located at 632 YLAC avenue, Barangay Villamonte. The place is extremely tiny. One room with three tables and a kitchen area. The only decorations are posters from liquor companies and a menu proudly proclaiming CRAB RICE WALA ( nothing left)

Despite the dingy decor, crowds of people jostle for table space. If you’re unfortunate enough – the first customers have bought all of the crabs and there will be none left!
The secret to Crab King’s immense popularity is that Denis himself hand picks the crabs he sells. They are fat, bursting with flavor and aligue – the rich tasting crab roe that makes the crab taste so good.
