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.
