hmm...u definitely haf to wait if u go there ard dinner peak hr. By 6pm, the Q is already long especially on special occassions like Mother's day etc.

The zicha is quite ok la. Usually if i go wif my family members, i eat abit of the zicha n save the space in my stomach for the crabs.hahahaa

I love the beehoon soup crab. The soup is sooooo sweet!!!!!
The butter crab too, the sauce is VERY NICE !!!! duno how to descible it, it has those bbq, burn burn smell n taste. VERY NICE!!! hehehee......

This is the best place for those crab beehoon lovers as the crab is big,fresh,tender and full of crab eggs!The soup is bursting with crab flavour and milk taste and the beehoon has fully absorb the taste of the soup!The pincers of the crab are also large and juicy!The only bad thing about the coffeeshop is that no advanced reservations could be made on weekends and you will have to queue up for at least 30-60 mins and the queue will start as early as 5p.m. when the shop opens!

it was my first time here and i am not a local. My boss is from hong kong and her boss (my boss boss) is an ang moh...cab fare cost us close to S$20 (goodness)

so good...3 foreigners + 3 locals decided to try some crab dishes. it was recomended to us but of course i was sceptical...i only knew good places like Jumbo or No Signboard or Long Beach...but this place was at a coffee shop...i was thinking could be good (somewhat like how Botak Jones rang in my mind) or could be simply simple so i did not have expectations.

locals said place was just renovated...looks nice for a HDB eatery. We tried 3 crab dishes (chilli, butter and some soupy one) but no more big crabs were available so we settled for next biggest size...whilst the locals claim the standard had some what "dropped" the foreigners thought...ok "lah"

quite a meal for me..we had a few dishes like herbal chicken or fortune chicken and some vegetables, asparagus and "kai lan"

S$250 for 6 seems...reasonable? i really can't judge because it was my first forray into heartlands with big dishes. i think for crab it sounds cheap though

i think the location is too far for me though. pity. i thought food was quite good.

Went to the Night Safari after which I was hungry as I didn't have dinner. Had been craving for crabs for the longest time so made a pit stop at AMK's branch as my husband raves about this Melben.

We had an arguement on what to order...either the cream based or the crab bee hoon. As we have 2 "mini-monsters" with us, I suggested the crab bee hoon so that they can have some to eat.

Okay, the order took around 15 mins (it was around 10.30pm already, and it was not crowded...i.e. less than 5 tables taken). The crab bee hoon came, nice and hot in a clay pot! The soup was thick and it was delicious. Both my kids ate the claws! So well, the adults didn't get any.

The crab meat was just nice. I loved the soup and bee hoon. I think I can just live with that.

But then again with their ya-ya service, I doubt I will come back to this branch. They have a couple of "silly" staffs (won't be nice to call them "brainless"). e.g. when we were going to make payment, the staff keep asking us what table. We were like "how we know" as the other staffs kept the "table numbers" before we were seated! My hubby kept pointing to the girl, the girl keep saying huh?
Another while we were going off, keep sweeping the floor where we were turning to walk out. We had to stand there for 2 mins, waiting for her to MOVE.

The butter crabs here are delish! Just the butter crabs with the fried man tous...yummy!

Think its the addition of the leaves usually used for indian curry that gives it a little more kick!

Unless you've made a reservation or go really early, you must be prepared to wait.
