Our take: Kelly Jie Seafood, formerly TPY Mellben, maintains a strong reputation for fresh seafood, particularly their crabs.
Reviews consistently highlight the quality and meatiness of the crabs, with the crab bee hoon soup being a signature.
While the crabs are a definite draw, some diners find the soup itself overly sweet.
Other dishes like black pepper crab and cold fried pork receive positive mentions, though some feel the overall menu can be a little overpriced for what it offers, especially compared to competitors like Jumbo.
The atmosphere can be lively, especially during festive periods like Lunar New Year, with staff like 'Aunty Alice' contributing to an energetic dining experience.
However, the noise level, particularly on the second floor, is a recurring complaint, with echoes making conversations difficult.
Service is generally enthusiastic, though some experiences point to staff upselling and being a bit 'snappy'.
We'd recommend focusing on the crab dishes for the best experience.
Best for groups who appreciate fresh crab and a vibrant, albeit noisy, atmosphere.

What customers say
Kelly Jie Seafood is praised for its fresh and well-prepared seafood, particularly the crabs, with many highlighting the energetic and impressive 'louhei' performance by Aunty Alice and the team during festive seasons.
While some find the unique handmade sauces and food presentation impressive, others note that some dishes, like the crab bee hoon soup and bamboo clams, can be underwhelming or overly sweet.
There are also mentions of staff upselling and a noisy dining environment, especially on the second level, which can detract from the experience, with some finding it overpriced compared to competitors.

Went for seafood today and the chilli crab was seriously next level. The sauce was thick, rich, sweet-spicy and damn shiok — every bite just hits differently. Even the mantou was so good dipped into t…
Finally got to experience their popular crab bee hoon soup! Crab meat was okay, not like super juicy and sweet that you’d expect. We also ordered Black stout Pork ribs, quite meaty and yummy. Hei Chok…
Every dish is so tasty! Have long heard of this place but first time trying. It's really worth it. The chilli crab is just on point, can taste the shiok spiciness yet it's not overwhelming, the tomato…
The only "good" thing was how fresh and meaty the crabs were. I highly recommend ordering based on personal knowledge of your own portion sizes, as the staff kept trying to recommend "more" or bigger…

Melben - Takeaway Crab Feast
今年生日，好友送我一个自己亲手做的手机袋，里头放了一封信，说她要吃螃蟹米粉。真奇怪，本来我生日应该是她请客嘛，结果我们竟然打包Melben的螃蟹上她家举行一场螃蟹宴！ 之前已在这里和这里介绍过Melben了，大家也应该对这螃蟹王非常熟悉。不用问，不管到哪一家餐馆吃螃蟹，我一定要点辣椒螃蟹。我就是很喜欢喝它的辣椒螃蟹汁，很刺激嘛！ 朋友最喜欢吃他们的牛油螃蟹。 除了螃蟹，还有脆脆的麦片虾。两个宝贝都喜欢！ 虽然这看起来不起眼，排骨也煮过头，但是味道却不错。咸蛋排骨！ 当然不会忘记招牌螃蟹米粉啦！刚好在Melben对面有类似螃蟹餐馆，听说他们是兄弟。尝过两边的螃蟹米粉，还是比较喜欢Melben，比较够味！ 瞧，可爱宝贝吃得满嘴都是！ 当然还有惊喜蛋糕！ 合照吧！

Melben Part II
朋友为了感谢我帮她主持幼儿园的毕业典礼，特地请我到龙海鲜螃蟹王Melben Seafood吃夜霄。 曾经已为大家介绍过这家螃蟹王的辣椒螃蟹和螃蟹米粉，也说过下次一定要来尝尝它的牛油蟹。嘻嘻，我真的回来吃了哦！ 刚装修好的龙海鲜螃蟹王现在占有整间咖啡店，位子更宽敞，也让你吃得更舒服哦！ 加入了咖喱叶的奶油蟹别有一番风味，是龙海鲜螃蟹王的招牌之一。不过觉得奶油已经没有以往那么香浓，蟹肉还粘壳，令我有点失望。 馒头不只能和辣椒螃蟹配搭，也能粘点奶油酱，味道也很不错哦！ 那晚夜霄的主角已经不是奶油蟹了，反而是这盘蒜茸清蒸蟹。使用螃蟹米粉的上汤和浓浓的花雕酒炒过的蒜茸蟹一起蒸。那蒸蛋有点像日本蒸蛋（Chawanmushi），不过带有点亚洲风味（因为有花雕酒的关系），非常香，又能品尝到螃蟹的真正味道，而来自斯里兰卡的螃蟹又肥又大，简直是赞！ 你也应该喜欢：Melben Part I Melben Seafood @ AMKBlk 232 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3#01-1222 Singapore 560232Tel: 6285 6762Opening Hours: Daily 4.30pm – 11.30pm
