Ng is planning a widespread rollout of more vending machines, bringing the total to 100 Ready-to-Eat Crab outlets across the island by March—so far at a cost of S$3.8m (US$2.7m). The process alone cost S$1m to develop over three years in partnership with packaging companies in Germany and Taiwan, and involves cooking the crabs, blast freezing them to -50C in two minutes and then vacuum-packing them to be reheated later.
