There's one famous zi char stall in the hearland district of Ang Mo Kio selling really good crabs, offering a wide range of crab dishes from their recommended dishes of really good crab beehoon to butter crabs, crab with "dong fen", etc etc...

It's located at the coffeeshop directly over MayFlower Secondary School, along Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 block 232.

(My friend told me there's another crab stall right opposite this coffeeshop with almost the same signboard name. He say that one is opened by this stall's disciple, quite good also, but not as good. If this one too many people, and you dun want to wait, can go to that stall. )



The crab dishes over here are so famous and good that you even need to queue up to get a seat. And it's even separated into 2 queues, one for walk-ins and another for reservations.



Good thing we went there early on a weekday, around 5+, so still no queue. And we ordered quite a lot of dishes! haha



Got their crab beehoon, yam ring, kang kong, "tie ban tofu" and black pepper pork ribs. The prices are quite reasonable, except that i think the kang kong a bit ex, $8. The crabs is counted as per kg of around $40.



The crab beehoon looks good eh? The soup is super deliciously sinful man! Full of the rich aroma of butter, love it man! You wont feel it's too oily when the soup is piping hot, and in fact it increases my appetite. I can't seem to stop eating taking more soup, simply sedap!

This one above is a medium size crab, around $40 odd. Quite worth it i think.



The meat is deeply infused with the taste of the soup, and it is tenderly delicious! The thick beehoon goes very well with the soup too, so you can forget about getting rice.

Here are the other dishes we ordered. Tie Ban tofu. But no tie ban. Comes on a wok instead. It's really good and very spicy also. Recommend you to get some Man Tou to dip in the gravy.




The kang kong is also very very spicy, better to eat it with rice.



The pork ribs are not bad too, slightly spicy.




The yam ring is the only other dish that is not spicy we ordered. (other than the crab)
