About:

During this period of covid-19 I've been craving lots of food and what better way to satisfy it than to create something that's not edible.
So today i would like to share a bit of my culture with you, GMK Chili Crab named after one of Singapore's most iconic dishes.
For those of you who have not been to this part of the world, think of it as what the cast in Crazy Rich Asians would be eating just that it's on your keyboard.
P.S. It really tastes better than it looks in photos.
In the early stages of conceptualization so if feedback is I would move on to the creation of Novelties & other kits.
Open to all inputs and suggestions.

Colourwise I do really like this set, but I would probably consider a change of the name.

Looks pretty neat :). Some picky criticism: I don't get the gray accents (and you also didn't specify the gray color as far as I can tell), and the mod legends in your base kit renders are wrong.

I too am a fan of Crustacean Sensation. Not a fan of the colorway, but the set looks good.

FYI; Your base kit has dark mod legends and the renders have white mod legends.

Yeah, the name seems pretty unrelated once you see the renders.

Hello Everyone, first and foremost thank you for all your kind words.

Regarding the mod legends I actually put the disclaimer saying that I placed it there intentionally for people to have a view of both and to be able to vote on their preference since it's the early stage of the IC.

Grey accent was meant to replicate a raw seafood look albeit not identical.

Additionally, Strongly considering to change the name to Crustacean Sensation. Thank you for the suggestions.

Looks hot.
Agree with the name change though.

Sent from my smartphone, which I have. Case, charger, everything.

The color combo is so nice. I don't mind the name, but that looks to be a hot take.

Hope you can stick with your name.

After all, it sounds like that specific dish is the inspiration for the set.


Interested to see what the novelties will be. Crab? Mantou?

I want to see this happen, Crustacean Sensation just sounds corny and a bad attempt at rhyming, leave it as Chilli Crab, how it should really be.

Also suggest a rename; the blue and grey seem out of place for chili crab.
An aside, I'm definitely in for a Rama with a crab or chili pepper on it.
