JUMBO seafood along Clarke Quay

Finally, wj and I decided to deviate alittle bit from our usual meals.
Yes, especially yours truly, I can be a creature of constant habit. I can eat the same thing for every meal and almost everyday.
So this weekend, i decided to call the shots and brought mr goh to JUMBO to try their famous black pepper crabs! Because i'm a crab lover, i simply love JUMBO's black pepper crabs!!!! They are by far the most delicious and aromatic, fragrant ones that i have eaten.

As for chilli crabs, my verdict is "you can forget it". I cannot understand why people go to Jumbo for their chilli crabs when the sauce is just chilli ketchup stir-fried with egg. But in this case, i ordered one for mr goh to try so that he will know what i mean. It's always good to try rather than to explain. And everyone has different palettes. I say "not nice", it may not always be the same for him.



First dish was Stir fried Dou Miao with garlic. Personally i think it's abit too oily. Not salty.
Taste: Good
Service: very prompt! Impressive!
Price: for a small plate, this one costs $10 Medium $12 Big $16


Next up was PEPPER CRABS!!!
Taste: Slurps!!!! mr goh was impressed. This one was sweet and succulent. Pepper was fried till fragrant and came piping hot!!!
Price: $41 ($3.80 per 100grams)
Size: Big enough for 2 of us

Last dish: Chilli Crabs
Taste: Dilute sweet sauce (think chilli ketchupy sauce) with egg. Usually Singaporeans would eat this with fried plain mantous (buns) which they will happily dip them in this eggy sauce. We ordered 2 fried ones and 2 steamed ones. mr goh was skipping his bowl of rice for this.
Oh yes, minimum order is 2 buns for a table.
Price: $41 (same size crab as the pepper ones)

Overall Service:
I notice that they hired quite afew china chinese to wait on the tables. I think it's quite good actually since our plates were changed quite often and we had so much crab shells! hahah...
And they left a huge pot of chinese tea at our table so that we could refill it by ourselves.
Paying the bill was fast too. So service here is very prompt. I guess this one is not as busy as the one at Riverside Point.
In case you are wondering which one im referring too. I went to the one beside JustSteak, beside Riverside Tandoori.
It's quite small but cozy, faces the riverside too. But dining by the riverside is such a touristy thing to do...i mean our waters are murky brown. There really isn't much to see, and hopefully no smell to accompany your dinner!

Ritey! after this we went for desserts!!! wanna know where? Will post soon!
