Today was a date with my level 5 girls.
We went to Mellben Seafood for dinner!
There are 2 outlets:
1) 232 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3
2) 211 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh
We went to the one at AMK and I heard that that one is the original one and the one that at TPY is newly opened. Do note that if you don't want to wait/queue and watch other people eat, I suggest that you call the day before and book seats.
I'm sorry that the photo of the signboard isn't very nice. I felt a little embarrassed to be taking photos of the signboard :(
I've heard reviews that the MUST TRY item is their Claypot Crab Bee Hoon.
I've never tried crab beehoon before and this is really nice! If you've drank pig stomach soup (I only drink the soup, I don't eat the stomach >< ), you'll realise that it tastes kinda like that but not as peppery. At least it tasted like what my grandma cooked. LOL. Anyway, it's good! The milky texture is yums!
I read Lady Iron Chef's review and he said that the Chilli Crab is good too! I mean, when you eat crab, how can you miss out on the CHILLI CRAB? IT IS A MUST TO ORDER THIS NO MATTER WHICH RESTAURANT YOU GO TO! Hmmm, I'm not much of a picky eater, so what I can say is that this is pretty good. But not as delicious as the one that's coming up!
And when you have chilli crab, you must have FRIED MANTOUS! I love fried mantous till death I swear. They are sweet and crispy and fragrant and simply delicious. I can eat like a whole packet of them with the sauce.
Ah yes, this is the one I simply love! BUTTER CRAB! I've never tried butter crab. But this is so good that I cannot stop dipping my fried mantous into the gravy!
As quoted from my friend: "I've always been dipping my mantous into chilli crab gravy until I found butter crab gravy" LOL
Very true indeed. Hahahah. The butter crab gravy is sweet, salty and fragrant. The combination is like mind blowing.
We chose the medium sized crab for the chilli crab and the pincers were like huge already. I wonder how big the large ones would be omg.
And when the food came, everyone was like "take picture first!"
Then I caught them instagraming, so I instagramed them instagraming. INSTAGRAM-CEPTION! ^^
So this is the before and after pictures. Hahaha! The aftermath of 3 crabs and 30 mantous. We spent a total of $218.30 on all these, which is about $38 per person. I think it's quite alright and not to forget, we bought drinks too. So not bad already!
P.S. The before photo was taken with my S3 and the after photo was taken with an Iphone 4S. S3 is good right?? hahaha. I like :) *random*
On a side note, I had chicken alfredo for lunch at Reedz at Business School today!
Okay! I shall try and study right now! BUHBYE <3
