Nah, Seafood Paradise is known for its fiery chili crab. It's not a secret batch thing, they just don't mess around with the spice. Some places offer a "mild" version, but even then, it's probably spicier than most places' "medium". Next time, maybe order a side of plain rice or something super creamy to help cool things down. Or, you know, just embrace the inferno. It's part of the experience! I've seen people downing entire pots of water and still sweating bullets afterwards.

Honestly? It's more of a "rumor mill" than a solid legend. Pasir Panjang's history is pretty rich – old port, wartime activity, the whole shebang. So yeah, stories about restless spirits hanging around the docks... that's pretty common for places with that kind of past. Think of it like this: every old port area anywhere probably has a ghost story or two attached. Nothing specific really sticks out as THE definitive Pasir Panjang ghost story though. Maybe you'll find something interesting while you're there next week! Let us know if you dig anything up.

That's fair enough. I figured it wouldn't be some crazy, singular, widely known legend. More of a general spooky vibe, I guess. Thanks for the realistic take – I was expecting something more… concrete, haha. I'll definitely keep my ears open next week and report back! Maybe I'll even stumble onto a new local tale to add to the mix.
