Melben
MELBEN SEAFOOD (AMK)
Venue: Blk 232 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 #01-1222
Xmas is just over, and with Chinese New Year coming soon, perhaps it's time to plan for Lo Hei with families & friends? =)
I had long heard ravings about Melben, but simply dun had the opportunity to try it. There was once we drove there, and were "turned away" by the long queue. This time round, we made sure that we reached there before the queue started! Early dinner at 530pm! Hohoho...
Indeed the place was kinda empty at 5+pm. So if you wanna try this but dun like to queue, you can opt for early dinner like us too. =)
Let's "bio" the menu! Yum yum!
Everything looked good on the menu. Heng, we asked our friends to join us. The more ppl, the more dishes we can order! It's always more fun to eat with a big group of frens! ^_^
Let's start dinner! ^_^
The crab cost about $45 each, which was probably good for sharing for 2 only, based on 1 pincer per person. You have to "calculate" based on that ratio, coz hor, the most meaty part of the crab is the pincer. Other than that, not much meat leh, not shiok leh. There were 6 of us, so we ordered 3 crabs in total. That was $135 for crabs alone, expensive hor? But I will say, well spent. *nod head vigorously*
Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup
This is definitely a MUST-ORDER!
The soup was divine. It was so yummy that I can just eat the bee hoon (which totally absorbed the goodness of the soup) and the soup alone. Yes, even without the crab. And we made the right choice of topping the soup and the bee hoon ( $5 & $3 respectively), coz it was simply too little to share among 6 pax!
Let's not forget about the crab. The crab was undeniably good, absolutely no flaws. Keke
I just wanna mention the size. See the pincer was so freakly big & meaty!
Chilli Crab
Fried Man Tou
What's a crab meal without chilli crab? And fried bun (man tou) is a must to go with the sauce. This was good but hor, kinda spicy for me.
Creamy Butter Crab
Comparatively, the creamy butter crab fared less as the crab meat itself was kinda blend. I guess the sauce dint really seep into the meat? *Shrugged*
We also ordered other dishes, which was okay lah, nothing to shout about, just your typical ze cha standard. But who cares! We were here just for the CRABS!!! =p
