Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Mellben Seafood consistently draws crowds for its classic Singaporean seafood dishes, particularly the Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup.

Reviewers frequently highlight the rich, comforting broth of the bee hoon, which many consider a must-order.

The Creamy Butter Crab and Black Pepper Crab also receive high praise for their balanced flavours and generous portions.

While the food quality is consistently lauded, be prepared for a wait, especially on weekends, with walk-in queues often exceeding an hour.

The restaurant operates in an old-school, non-air-conditioned HDB setting, which adds to its local charm but might not suit everyone.

Prices are on the higher side, but many find the quality justifies the cost.

We recommend making a reservation to avoid long waits, especially if you're planning a weekend visit.

It's a reliable spot for traditional seafood, particularly if you're a fan of crab dishes.

What customers say

Mellben Seafood consistently receives high praise for its signature dishes like the Claypot Beehoon Soup and Creamy Butter Crab, which customers find rich and flavorful.

While the food quality is generally considered top-notch and service efficient, patrons frequently note the expensive pricing and potential for long wait times, especially for walk-ins on weekends.

Some traditional dishes like salted egg pork ribs occasionally receive mixed reviews regarding meat texture.

It’s a place that focuses on seafood so price point overall is high! I’d say it’s a must to make reservations esp on weekends as it was kinda full when we arrived (we did make a reservation luckily)!…

Claypot Beehoon Soup is a must — rich, comforting broth that gets better as it simmers and soaks into the noodles. And I will never skip the Creamy Butter Crab. That sauce is dangerously good, especia…

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
