A Crabby Meal

Went to Mellben Seafood for dinner after watching "Where The Queue Starts" on Channel 8 last week (not that I didn't know the place before watching the programme). According to the show, one gotta wait about 1 ~ 2 hours for the crabs, which was the signature dish here. Not unexpectedly, there was already a long queue when I arrived at about 520pm. And I thought I was early...

I placed my orders at about 550pm and got a seat just past 6. It seems like the whole coffeeshop were eating from the same stall. And that almost all the seats were reserved by them as well. I was thinking:"the food better be good...". And I was not disappointed.

The other food were served 1st before the crabs as it needed more time to be prepared.

And from this...

They turned into this...

The butter crab and the claypot crab bee hoon really live up to its name. Just one word to describe it, bagus... :D. When the crabs were served everyone just stopped talking, as we were busy 'dismantling' the crab. This is certainly worth waiting for, and I wouldn't bet against myself coming back for another meal in the near future.
