Asian Inspired Pizza : Chilli Crab Pizza & Salted Egg Yolk Seafood Pizza

I was invited by Mission Food Singapore to create asian inspired pizza by using their newly launched pizza crusts, which comes in plain and wholemeal version. It is indeed quick and easy to D.I.Y pizza with these soft and thin pizza crusts! While brainstorming for ideas of asian inspired food, the first food which come across my mind is chilli crab!! hahaha Chilli crab is definitely one of Singapore iconic food don't you agree? 😁 Another crazy idea of mine is to make a salted egg yolk sauce  unlike the usual tomato base sauce for pizza. Both pizza turned out really delicious! When I asked my food taster which one they like most....they could not decide! hahaha....I let you decide which one looks and taste more appealing to you. 😜
