As with all Asians (and all other nationalities) you just cannot simply ignore the fact that food plays a significant part in culture and tradition. Down south of Hong Kong towards Malaysia, you find Singapore, another cosmopolitan hub much akin to the island except that Hong Kong was very much borned out of British rule…
Worst of all, I've found that the quality of the food at these touristy seafood restaurants are generally a notch below their flagship branches.
I like the Ginger and Onion Fish Fillet ($14) at Jumbo. The fish is sliced thickly, smooth and soft in texture, and slightly coated in a delicate savoury spring onion and ginger-tinged oyster sauce.
Overall the food at JUMBO Seafood is good, it is a bit pricey due to the currency exchange. We probably expected more from the taste of the Herbal Drunken Live Prawns and the Signature Chili Crabs. The service here is good, something we must mention. We will definitely come back again in the future after we taste other Chili Crabs in other restaurants in Singapore. No regrets visiting JUMBO Seafood East Coast Seafood Centre again in Singapore.
An surprising twist, both ingredient combined well together, and each individual ingredient has their own unique and wasn't overpowering.
Overall, it was quite a nostalgic and nice experience eating at Jumbo again as this place has been around since I was like 10.
The star of the day – Chilli Crabs! My another cousin loves to eat the gravy with mantou!
We think the good food and atmosphere is a winning combination at Jumbo!
