GM suggested going to Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia as his colleague had recommended it + they were having a 1-1 promotion with DBS card for the Lobster porridge.
Well, I had expected long queues, hence was not too keen to go, but we were in luck, as it was still not dinner-time, and we were quickly ushered to an available table.
With the 1-1 promotion, it worked out to below $30 per pax.
Steamed crabs
Claypot crabs (with meehoon)
Butter crabs
Disappointing frog-legs

It was a Friday night and the crowds were thick at AMK Ave 3. Good thing that XB managed to reserve a table before hand, and we could just walk to our table. [Note: reservations allowed only during weekdays].
We have heard about many raves about the good food around AMK, hence we came with high expectations. I would say that the taste was alright, but the crabs were abit disappointing. I've had better crabs before where the flesh could be easily removed from their shells...the frog-legs were a total let-down.
Melben even placed a notecard on each table stating that they are not responsible if the crabs are not meaty enough.
If you ask me, I would not bother to go there again when there are so many better eating places around.
With our group of 8 pax, it worked out to S$36 per pax.
Everytime we walk by Itacho @ Ion, there would be a long queue outside...so I thought the food must be nice...so decided to give it a try when I found myself alone at Orchard.
Well, being alone, I couldn't order alot..so didn't find the food very spectacular.
