We've been to SG every year in past years and tried many restaurant for crabs. In general, crabs in SG are all freshly, just the method of cooking for food quality. In Mellben, u can order diff cooking for crab, but clay pot is must try or will be regret. Other dishes are good too and ask them for recommendation.... More

Was recommended by friends who swear by its pepper crab. But I wasn't impressed. Find nothing outstanding about the food here except that its pricing is more moderate than other similar outlets.

The crab bee hoon soup is awesome and one of the not to be miss item on the menu. Beside that, the stout pork rib is another thumbs up dish :)

Had the crab beehoon in creamy soup, butter crab and black pepper crab, 2 veg, 1 fried rice and 6 bottles of beer. It was 38 per pax (there were 6 of us).

This place is perenially crowded and if you don't get there early, be prepared for a long queue and waiting time of half an hour to an hour and a half especially if you are ordering their specialities - the crab dishes. But its worth the wait - not cheap but good quality food and well cooked.

No! While it is good tasting of its Sri lanka crab based milky white soup bee hoon - the service staff needs lessons of grace n realized it is the customers that flock to this place that made it famous. Food great, service with sour pruned face, fiery cashier/boss suckz with a capital S

People who come to Singapore are always looking for good local food. One of the food not to be missed I suppose is the Singapore Chili Crab. Take a trip to Mellben and you will find that apart from Chili Crab there are lots of other crab preparation that is yummy and value for money.
