Mellben

the boss says she's got a craving for seafood and it was mellben we went.

joke of the day:

*ring ring* Jinfu & Shane who had arrived first, called Shaun...

Jinfu: " eh! u say u booked "
Shaun: " yes yes, i booked "
Jinfu: " don't have your name "
Shaun: " i booked under Peter "
Jinfu: " who is Peter?? "

so it turns out that when Shaun called to book...

Shaun: " uncle i want to book seats for xx people, blah blah blah "
uncle: " ok, shen mer ming? "
Shaun: " Shaun "
uncle: " huh? "
Shaun: " Shaun "
uncle: " zhen mer spell? "
Shaun: " err... ok la uncle, Peter Peter "
uncle: " orrrrhhhh "

we kinda hoped that 'Peter' who did the reservations would also pay for the meal. No such luck. =( haha!

Mellben seafood....



fiercely renowned for their crab bee hoon!

fried vegetables.. i think its kang kong...



its not bad.

deer meat with spring onion...



not particularly good but decent. not particularly tender.

some fried fish..



this i felt was pretty good. like the sauce.

hot plate tofu....



i like~ especially the layer of egg. yum.

steamed prawns...



pretty fresh.

man tou....



their man tou was just ok. i know man tou is supposed to be somewhat tasteless but some man tou is very nice!

crabs wise, we ordered 3 different styles...

some cream sauce crab...



chilli crab...



and the star, crab bee hoon!!!!!!



with extra serving of the bee hoon and soup...



the cream sauced crab was not bad. but i think defu lane's seafood paradise has nicer cream sauced crabs.

the chilli crab was also nice but not fantastic.

the crab bee hoon is absolutely delectable! Its so so so so YUMMY especially the soup! still salivating thinking about it.

our feast...
