Yummy!



A Survival Guide For All Men.


apologies lijing! was supposed to invite this cute lady over to my place for cookie baking, but due to the fact im having family day and my dad would want to rest home, we decided to do it another day instead.
guess where did we go for family day?

MELLBEN SEAFOOD @ AMK!


the queue = long = waiting time = long = GOOD FOOD


crab in hot pippin' butter sauce


chilli crab with mantou* (buns)


famous seafood toufu

the day was saved then again by GOOD FOOD! despite the extremely long waiting time i.e 1 hour for a pathetic sit in the coffee shop, i guess the wait was worthwhile. the crabs were huge and really i swear, fresh, fleshy and juicy.

my favourite was the mantou and the butter sauce crab. its addictive! especially the sauce! while feasting on the crab, i was figuring out what made it so aromatic and what made the meat so tender when suddenly out of the blues i thought it might be it. i'll definitely not tell you what is, but when the time i whip a dish like this, i hope my taste buds did help me.

it was a pity i did not try the vermicelli with crab in rich white sauce. its their specialty and yet i didnt have the chance to. dang! maybe next time round. haha

they were comparing between Ah Leong's and Mellben's as they are just situated opposite each other. equally popular serving almost similar dishes. had not try Ah Leong's though. anyone wanna join me for Ah Leong's?

*rubs tummy* thanks jason for the dinner! <3
