My local friend suggested this place. No regret with the long Q as the food is awesome. We ordered the Big Sri Lankan crab to be cooked in Buttercream and Claypot Meehoon soup. Thumbs up....Must tried their fried bun, goes well with the buttercream sauce. Go early to avoid long Q especially during weekend.

Unbeatable crab with solid meat, as well as other impressive dishes. We two ordered Crab(stirred fried with Salty egg and cheese), Curry Pork Chop and Golden Bean Curd. Can't say anything on the crab, coz we both are busy with eating. Surprisingly the Curry Pork chop is awesome: Tender as chicken, with rich and tasty gravy. OMG, we paid SGD45... More

Check out some blogs on Singapore food and you'll be bewildered. Melben Seafood is good for its price. Love the fried buns.

Exceptional freshness of crabs with solid meat and different sizes! The Butter crab and crab claypot bee hoon are definitely the best dishes. Also available are other seafood, meats and vegetables, but you would be better off saving space for the crabs. The waitress informs you the estimate price after you place the order. Perhaps to prepare you in advance... More

If you like crab noodle then this is it. The crab taste perfect when taken with the noodle & coconut milk. Beside, you can also try their signature dish which is not on their menu. It's the salted egg yoke pork ribs and the steam fish with preserved radish. It sure worth the money you spend even though its in... More

Love how the flavours seep in to the soup, and how savoury it is. Only drawback: the noodles are slippery and always want to escape the scoop.

Went to their branch at Toa Payoh area. The Claypot Crab with Beehoon and Guinness Pork Ribs are highly recommended. Do come early as it gets really crowded

I have been to this restaurant for many years and the crab is definitely among the best in Singapore. The husband & wife owners initially rented a stall in this coffee-shop. They moved from another location and the crowd simply followed. Subsequently they bought over the whole property and converted it into a non-air-conditioned seafood restaurant. Many contributors complained about... More

Lines are always long and they rarely accept reservations. We were there 6pm and the place is already full. But definitely worth the wait! Crab beehon! Crab beehon! Crab beehon! Our visit to singapore is never complete without eating at this resto. The place is a bit off the urban area and might be difficult for the taxis to find... More
