Mellben Seafood used to reside opposite Serangoon Interchange and they shifted to AMK a few years ago. I used to go there at least once a month when it was in Serangoon and then I visited them 3 times at AMK.

As much as I like the crab bee hoon, the first time when I came to the branch in AMK was a disappointing experience in terms of environment. They later renovated the place and it's now a more pleasant place to dine at. However, I dislike the long queue at this branch and later found out they have another branch at Toa Payoh and decided to try that out.

Went to amk melben for dinner. ordered the famous bee hoon crab noodle.. It's always nice to eat that after a long wait at the restaurant. The soup is never disappointing and the crab meat is fresh and juicy and the meat they give is always big and fat. not the others which are small. Overall the food is a must try/eat.

Mellben is obviously famous for its crabs!!! The crab bee hoon is a white creamy soup-based dish, somewhat different from the dry, brown fried bee hoon commonly found. Can pay more for extra servings of bee hoon or soup. The butter crab is also a must-try! Best eaten with deep friend mini buns to soak up and savour the buttery sauce! The down side is the long queue that forms during dinner times. Avoid the waiting time by calling up to make a booking in advance. The staff is chatty and friendly

The down side is the long queue that forms during dinner times. Avoid the waiting time by calling up to make a booking in advance. The staff is chatty and friendly too, which makes the dining experience more light-hearted and enjoyable. As most of the tables are outdoors, it is advisable to visit the place when the weather is fine and cooling. The 'tze-char' style Melben is more suitable for families or groups of friends.

It was a weekday so we made reservation for our dinner. We waited for all to arrive before we started to order. We ordered 2 small crabs each for the butter crab and mee hoon soup dish. It was so nice and delicious. Although they stated that the crabs were small size but we find it quite meaty. With 4 crabs to fill the stomach of 5 ladies, we were real lucky. We enjoyed the crabs. The butter crabs came with a plenty of gravy for our small manton to dip in. The gravy was rich with a bit of spicyn

With 4 crabs to fill the stomach of 5 ladies, we were real lucky. We enjoyed the crabs. The butter crabs came with a plenty of gravy for our small manton to dip in. The gravy was rich with a bit of spicyness cos there were curry leaves in there. As for the mee hoon soup with crab, the soup was the best, so sweet.

I must say that the crabs at mellben seafood are really good and delicious. I loved this outlet although there is another one at Toa Payoh. The place is great for families and friends.

You will go back for more after the first try, located at Blk 232 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 #01-1222 Singapore 560232. This shop has a stronger taste for the dishes while the other has a lighter one, both owners are brothers however I still go for this one because I love stronger taste. Would recommend mongolian pork ribs(sweet & sour + bit spicy), butter cream crab(shiok), Salted Egg York Crab(lagi shiok), Bee Hoon soup crab(Popular). Price is rather expensive but the pincers can be bigger than a 10y

Would recommend mongolian pork ribs(sweet & sour + bit spicy), butter cream crab(shiok), Salted Egg York Crab(lagi shiok), Bee Hoon soup crab(Popular). Price is rather expensive but the pincers can be bigger than a 10yr old kids palm, depending on the size of the crab you choose. Also remember to order the fried mini buns for dipping the sauce of your crab, comes in 5 or 10. I have patronize for 4 times and still going for more!

Queue on weekdays starts 6.30pm, try going before that. They opens at 4.30pm - 11.30pm.

Too busy savoring the crabs so forgotten to take photos.
