Geylang in general has a wide variety of good food options. This place doesn't disappoint... the old school zi char style but in an air conditioned restaurant! They have outdoor seating too.
Place gets busy so book ahead if you can. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here... the fried rice noodles, salted egg prawns, chicken wings, fish skin and tofu dishes were all good with great 'breath of the wok'. Quite fast service, typical singaporean style (don't expect them to be at your beck and call.. swift and curt is more like it), food is piping hot, restaurant is noisy and you are not expected to linger afterwards.
Bought the famous san lou mee hon and fried garlic chilli clams (lala) for takeaway.
They use Russian clams which larger and plumper or Philippines which smaller but sweeter.
White pepper crab also very famous here.
The place were crowded, lots people queuing during dinner time.
Taste yummy.

JB Ah Meng is one of best stir-fry eateries in Singapore which whip up some awesome Singaporean fare at an affordable price. The nondescript restaurant is perpetually busy and reservations may be helpful if you were dining during weekends.
Their signature white pepper crab is fresh and juicy. You could literally pick them from a rattan basket at the corner of the eatery (2 for $37). The savoury and peppery gravy combines flawlessly with the succulent crab to deliver a flavour punch.
Their Sambal Kang Kong, stir-fried with chunks of pork lards, is as fragrant and delicious as they sound.
The highlights - the charred fried bee hoon - the tastiest and most palatable vermicelli I have ever tried in life. Crispy on the outside and springy on the outside, you can’t believe it costs only $6.
The corn egg yolk prawns is another amazing dish. The fresh prawn is coated with a thin batter and deep fried. Thereafter, it is coated with a thin-layer of salted egg yolk and juicy corn kernel.
Total damage for table of four: $77. Can you even get delicious fresh seafood at that price in Sydney?
JB Ah Meng is simply awesome eatery and a favourite among Singaporeans. If JB Ah Meng can’t receive a recognition from Michelin (not even a Bib Gourmand), no single Australian restaurant is worthy of any stars.
