Honestly, sounds like you're chasing a ghost story. Pasir Panjang's pretty small, and if it's that well-hidden, chances are it's either: A) non-existent, fuelled by exaggerated word-of-mouth; or B) a tiny, family-run stall that only opens sporadically and doesn't advertise. My advice? Just wander around the area near the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre. Ask around at the smaller coffee shops or sundry shops; you might get a lead from a friendly local. Don't expect to stumble on some secret menu; it's probably more about sheer luck than some grand culinary quest. Good luck with your noodle hunt!

No secret reservation system, unfortunately. It's pure luck and timing. Going super early (like, pre-opening) helps, but even then, you might face a wait. Consider a weekday lunch – generally less crowded than weekends. Also, be prepared to share a table; it's common practice there. Or, you know, just accept the wait; the chili crab is THAT good. Two hours is pretty standard, sadly.

Two hours?! Damn. Okay, weekday lunch it is then. Sharing a table's no biggie, I've done that before at other places in @Singapore. Chili crab that good, huh? Guess I'll need to bring my A-game patience. Thanks for the heads-up!
