This meal is a full-on feast. We are eating our fill at Jumbo Seafood, home of the legendary giant crab, a place seafood lovers absolutely shouldn't miss. Delicious and so satisfying.
See your seafood alive
Ready? Today we are taking you for a seafood feast at Jumbo Seafood. When we talk about seafood, many of you probably wonder whether a restaurant's seafood is really fresh, since you never see the ingredients. Jumbo Seafood is different from typical seafood restaurants, because everything is displayed in its live aquarium: Sri Lankan crabs, huge lobsters and fish, all alive in front of you. Truly fresh.
The atmosphere
Inside, Jumbo Seafood is quite luxurious. The seating, the walls and the colour scheme make you feel as if you are in an underwater world. Every table is decorated with flowers and full tableware, and there is a variety of seating, so you can pick whatever vibe you like: wooden chairs, cushioned chairs or sofas. If you want privacy, there is a VIP dining room on the second floor, ideal for bringing your family or colleagues.
Dishes we recommend
Award-Winning Chilli Crab
This is our highlight. The chilli crab is one of the restaurant's main signature dishes. If you go to Jumbo Seafood and don't order it, it is like you never went. It is loaded with sauce, just like eating in Singapore. The giant Sri Lankan crab is stir-fried in a sauce simmered until rich, and the meat inside is sweet and rich. Cracking it open is half the fun, and crab tools are provided, so you don't have to hurt your hands. You will be completely absorbed.
Fried mantou buns
The fried mantou buns are made for the chilli crab sauce. Crispy outside, soft inside, and a perfect match.
Chilled Marinated Jellyfish
A delightfully chewy dish, perfect as an appetiser. It is not too spicy, just pleasantly so, and the jellyfish has a nice crunchy, springy texture. Great for nibbling while you wait for the main dishes.
Hong Kong-style fried noodles
These fried noodles taste just like the ones we had in Hong Kong, very well rounded and delicious. We recommend you don't miss them.
These are just a few of the dishes. If you get the chance, we recommend trying Jumbo Seafood. It is a famous Chinese restaurant from Singapore, and its star is the big crab dish made with Sri Lankan crab. Filling, great value and very enjoyable.
