The most overrated food in Singapore is chilli crab. The worst places to try those are at the spots recommended to tourists. You’ll get charged $100-1000 (not a typo). The food is not as good as elsewhere. 

Black pepper crab, white pepper crab, crab bee hoon soup, salted egg crab, Teochew marinated cold crab. Try those at Eng Seng, JB Ah Meng, Mellben, Uncle Leong, Ah Orh respectively. 

For a not-restaurant setting, Chuan Loo Bee Hokkien Food at Old Airport Road, 01-111.

 @6adf5d3d Maybe I lucked out. Many years ago I had chili crab late at night somewhere to the east in a walkable distance from downtown, maybe 15-20 minutes past Bugis Street, and seating was outside. It was divine, if much spicier than I'm used to, and the crab was so fresh I could taste it through the chili. I think it was probably legit because a local friend took me and picked the place, although he did also take me to Newton Circus food center once, so maybe not.
