Mellben for crab? Thanks but no thanks!!


Just visited Mellben at Ang Mo Kio over the weekend for a crab dinner...haven been there for probably a year.. the whole place was renovated and now there is only Mellben and no more other food stalls in the coffeeshop.
The coffeeshop was renovated into resort themed coffeeshop with unnecessary water fountains...wooden walkway etc. Iz just a coffeeshop for goodness sake!!!
Food was generally okay but alot more expensive...the crab bee hoon was still good except a hell lot of butter than before...creamy butter crab maintained its standard...overall, iz not worth the wait anymore. Would go to other locations for my monthly dose of crab....
After your order, they'll try to push you for more orders saying: "Like that enough meh? only these few dishes where will full?" Seating can be arranged first but ordering of food have to be done at the counter which makes it very incovenient....
At least for me, i would not go back there anymore whether for food or crab...it has become too commercialised...and the food prices are like restaurant rates!!
iz only a coffeeshop under a block of HDB flats....
