Get Cracking! NT Mud Crab Dinner Menu
Welcome drink: Darwin KP Mango-Tini
Bringing two Territory favourites together to start the night: Darwin's famous KP mango and our local mud crab.
A refreshing tropical KP Mango-Tini cocktail on arrival, before the mud crab hits the wok.
Entrée: START WITH THE SHELL
Garlic Butter Scallops | 2
Half-shell scallops from Shark Bay served with glass vermicelli, Chinese-style garlic butter, Chinese cooking wine and spring onion. The vermicelli catches all that garlic butter and scallop juice, so don't leave it behind.
A TASTE OF HUMPTY DOO
Crispy Humpty Doo Barramundi Bao Slider | 2
Crispy Humpty Doo barramundi fillet tucked into soft bao with house pickles, Lebanese cucumber, purple cabbage, kale, Japanese mayonnaise, fresh chilli, coriander and calamansi lime.
THE MAIN EVENT: GET CRACKING
YOUR OWN WHOLE NT MUD CRAB | 1.2kg+
A whole Northern Territory mud crab weighing at least 1.2kg, cooked fresh from the wok in your choice of one Pink Chopstix signature flavour:
Golden Salt & Pepper
Crispy NT mud crab tossed with garlic, fresh chilli, spring onion and our house salt and pepper seasoning.
OR
Chef's Special Singapore Chilli
Our signature Singapore chilli mud crab: sweet, savoury, tangy and just spicy enough. Served with fluffy mantou buns for soaking up every last bit of chilli crab sauce. Leaving the sauce behind should be a crime.
Dessert: SOMETHING SWEET
Pink Chopstix Fried Ice Cream
The Chinese Australian restaurant classic you have to try at least once. Crispy and golden on the outside, cold and creamy inside, served with chocolate sauce and seasonal tropical fruit. Hot meets cold. Crunch meets cream.
