"The looks are deceiving but the black pepper sauce is not the vague, gritty stuff you get in so many other versions of this dish. This one has sauce specially created by their chef to be hot and smooth. This is all that makes the difference."

"The sauce is lovely and spicy. It's a very good crab and there is more meat in it than in a sea crab."

"This is not your typical Black Pepper Crab. Melvin has made the flavour pop by adding in “curry” to the usual Black Pepper Crab equation to great effect. You definitely should give this a go if you’re at MELLBEN!"

"Very balanced and delicious flavors of the crab. The black pepper sauce is not overly 'fierce', it'll not set your mouth on fire."
