Came for the crab bee hoon, but with crabs sold out, the next best thing to go was their crayfish bee hoon soup. This is a signature dish you’ll spot on nearly every table, whether with crab (if you reserved early) or crayfish as the next best option.
The broth is rich and aromatic, infused with the natural sweetness of fresh crayfish and sole fish, giving it a creamy depth while staying light enough to complement the silky bee hoon. Every slurp is smooth and satisfying, making it easy to see why it’s a crowd favourite.
The crayfish itself are of decent size. Fresh, plump, and naturally sweet, adding a satisfying bite to the dish. It was so good that we couldn’t resist ordering an extra portion of bee hoon because when the broth hits just right, you’ll want more of it! If you’re set on crab bee hoon, reserving ahead is a must 》$52 (w 4pcs Crayfish) + $2 Extra Noodle
Crunchy and fragrant, but slightly off in execution. The prawns are fresh but overcooked, making them a bit dry and firm. The cereal leans milky rather than buttery, adding sweetness but missing that rich, savoury contrast. Decent texture, but a better balance of flavours and doneness would have made it more satisfying 》$25
Fresh, crisp, and full of flavour, this dish brings out the best in simple ingredients. The green dragon vegetable (garlic chives) add a slight bite, while the bean sprouts keep things light and crunchy. Perfectly cooked and seasoned just right 》$16 / Large
Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside — these wings are an easy crowd-pleaser. The prawn paste flavour is subtle, letting the rich, golden crust take the spotlight. Light and crunchy, they’re best enjoyed hot — just dip them in chilli for an extra punch. A great pick for those who enjoy a gentler seasoning, but maybe not for bold flavour seekers 》$12 / Medium (10 Pcs)
Haven't been to Mellben in a really long time and I miss having Mellben’s crab done in its signature way. The milky broth is thick, rich, creamy and beamed with sweetness from the crab. The crab was fresh and succulently sweet with chunks of meat coming off cleanly.
Wrapped in crispy beancurd skin with generous fillings of prawns, pork and together with a crunch of chestnuts 》$10 (Small)
Acceptable.
French beans, pork belly with tau kwa, otah, omelette, honey chicken. Is this the meal that ends our trips here? This was our favourite caifan for the variety and standard, but on this day the dishes were boring and mediocre, while the rice had so little gravy zzz. So disappointed.
Possibly my favourite dish here. In addition to my earlier review, the meat this time was such quality.
Their this sauce is spicy, if that's how you like it. The crayfish was meaty enough, although sizes can vary.
The cheese sauce was heavenly, possessing a sweet note. Order this for the sauce, not butter crab, which is dry.
Wrong dish but we accepted because we waited too long.
