Welcome to Ang Mo Kio. Looking for Hawker/Kopitiam places?

Haven't been to Mellben in a really long time and I miss having Mellben’s crab done in its signature way. The milky broth is thick, rich, creamy and beamed with sweetness from the crab. The crab was fresh and succulently sweet with chunks of meat coming off cleanly.

Wrapped in crispy beancurd skin with generous fillings of prawns, pork and together with a crunch of chestnuts 》$10 (Small)

This long-standing stall has unusually had its internet presence wiped clean recently, and despite online rumors that they closed, this stall is very much still opening regularly.
.
Their lamb ribs is thick and chunky, having tender chewy texture with full flavoured smoky meaty salty savoury peppery spice flavour.
.
The heavily dressed coleslaw is crunchy with vegetal sweet flavour, while the crisp potato chips hold starchy salty flavour.
.
The crisp buttered toasted white bread has straightforward buttery bready toasty sweet savoury notes, and the soft warm baked beans in tomato sauce carry vegetal earthy sour sweet flavour.

Had to queue 20min even though I reached at 11.36am to get my takeaway of lor bee hoon. It’s a simple and fulfilling meal, with simple and healthy liao unlike other lor mee that is filled with deep fried ingredients. Be prepared to wait if you reach during peak lunch time. Takeaway in container boxes available at extra $0.30

They have a limited selection of meat and vegs on sticks priced between $1 to $3. Everything here is deep-fried but not overly greasy when served. The food came seasoned with brown sauce which was good enough for me to have it without sauces. They also provide four types of sauces - sweet sauce, satay sauce, sweet Thai chilli and homemade spicy chilli. It is a place worth considering if I am nearby or looking for a supper place past midnight as they are open till 1.30am.

Sliced Batang Fish soup with rice for lunch!
Fish was fresh. Overall a nice healthy lunch though not my first choice.

Another lunch on weekday.
Duck leg confit from Mad Charcoal at Orange Point, served with one side dish, total cost $14.50.
Smooth mash.

($47) my mum told me that the duck shrink in size :/ but the taste was quite remained the same in the past.

The place gets incredibly busy during lunch hours, with wait times ranging from 20 to 30 minutes—sometimes even longer.

That said, it’s worth the wait. The dry noodles are the standout dish and a must-try. They’re topped with a generous amount of pork lard and shallots, adding a rich, savory depth to every bite.

And let’s not forget the chilli—it was absolutely fantastic, packing a flavorful punch that elevated the entire dish. Highly recommended!

I should stay off Indian nasi goreng. They're often dry and inferior to Chinese and Malay fried rice. Credit to the big fried chicken, but quite boney.

The Wanton Mee (WTM) at Lu Ge was surprisingly good!

The sauce was rich, flavorful, and had a nice spicy kick, while the wantons were delicious and well-prepared.

What stood out even more was the scene at dinner time: Chong Boon Market was mostly quiet, with only a few stalls open. Despite the quiet atmosphere, Lu Ge had a steady queue, which speaks volumes about its popularity and quality.

Pass.
