Let's go and check out what is so special about this Mellben Seafood.

Mellben Seafood is renowned for its Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup so we ordered a portion with additional soup and bee hoon (it is so popular that additional soup and bee hoon is limited to one portion per table). Now I finally understand why this dish is so popular. The creamy soup has a distinctive crab taste that goes so well with the springy thick bee hoon. It is totally slurp-worthy

I was really looking forward to trying out their famous Salted Egg Crab but we were told that Salted Egg Crab is a dry dish and there is not much sauce, so we decided to get Golden Sand Crab instead. We opted for a male crab, which is said to have more meat but does not have much crab roe. The crab is medium-sized but it is full of sweet crab meat. The sauce is a beautiful yellowish-golden colour that tastes of melted butter made more fragrant by the addition of curry leaves. Fried mantou is the perfect accompaniment.

Prawn Paste Chicken is not featured on the menu, but such a simple zi char dish is not a problem to the skilled chefs at Mellben Seafood. The tender chicken wings and drumlets are well-marinated and coated in batter before deep-fried till beautiful golden colour. The meat is tender and absolutely delicious.

Technically, Sambal Kangkong is not on the menu, but it is such a popular dish that they have it here too. The fresh and crispy kangkong goes perfectly with the sambal which gives it a little spiciness.

Mellben Seafood does not disappoint with the quality of its dishes, be it their signature crab dishes or simple zi char dishes, but the prices can be a little steep.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
