If you have been scrolling through your Facebook feed these days, chances are you would have seen the above poster before. But what is it actually about?
CHEF: Bibimbap VS Chilli Crab is a humorous non-verbal show that uses live beat-boxing and b-boying to tell a story of two rival chefs, the Red and Green chef. If you have watched Nanta or BIBAP: Bibimbap show in Seoul, this show was created with a similar concept but with local adaptations.

CHEF: Bibimbap VS Chilli Crab Review
The show starts off with an introduction to the chefs: The Green Chef, Red Chef, Cutie Chef, Sexy Chef, Strong Chef, Rookie Chef, Beat-boxer Chef and B-Boy Chef. The Red and Green Chefs then started taking turns to cook 3 dishes: sushi, italian pizza and chicken noodles before moving on to the final showdown where the Green Chef cooks Bibimbap while the Red Chef cooks Chilli Crab.
One thing unique about this musical is that they involve the audience in their show. The audience was asked to clap, shout and some lucky ones even had the chance to be on stage with the crew. The ones who went up on stage also received various dining vouchers from Resorts World Sentosa.
Some of the lucky audiences on stage
TIP: Sit nearer to stage at the aisle area to increase your chances of being chosen to go on stage!
The element of humour comes in with the sound effects the crew makes while “cooking” and when audiences are invited to stage and asked to play along.
If you enjoyed the performance as much as we did, you can also take photos with the crew after the show for a small fee of $10 per group!
