Jumbo Seafood Restaurant
Special Moments March 3rd, 2009Ok, to reward ourselves for ENDURING the ‘distasteful music‘ yesterday, we decided to have an exceptionally SUPERB dinner.
It was my Sister’s treat Company’s treat. A monthly allowance of up to $150 is given to all employees for their hardwork put into a new project. Woo-hoo!
This is the first time we went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, which is famous for its seafood freshness. We ordered 4 of their FAMOUS dishes:
Jumbo Black Pepper Crab – Live Sri Lankan Crab stir fried to a springy texture, in a special blend of Jumbo Black Pepper Sauce.
Jumbo Chili Crab – Live Sri Lankan Crab stir fried in rich savoury chili gravy. Man-Tou – Steamed/deep fried buns (to dip into the sauce)
Deep Fried Red Tilapia with Nonya Sauce – The fish is deep fried till crispy, served on piping hot Nonya Sauce.
Crispy Baby Squids – Deep Fried Fresh Baby Squids, marinated with oyster sauce, crispy and crunchy, served on a bed of crackers.
(for the kids) Boiled Live Prawns – Prawns boiled to the right duration, shells are peeled with ease.
Its so ‘well-done‘ that even my 3 year old Binbin could peel the prawns by himself.
The total bill came up to be $170+ after a 10% discount. My sis was feeling rich, so we didn’t need to top up the extra $20+. Thank you sis and thank you ‘sis’s company‘! *wink*
*my say on each dish and the restaurant’s service is over here.

That means your boys only have the prawns & buns to eat cos the rest of the food seem spicy?

Dinner at Jumbo restaurant is never a miss when it comes to any celebrations in my in-law’s family. So I got to savour all the delicious dishes like those you mentioned above, except for the crispy baby squids (maybe I should recommend my inlaws to order that next time).
But the one we frequent is at Serangoon Gardens. I love anything spicy, so I enjoy the Chilli crabs most… especially the sauce. Yumm… together with the deep fried buns *slurp!* … oh … when is the next celebration coming??? I couldn’t wait to go to Jumbo now!

Janice,
we knew that the kids won’t ‘enjoy’ the food as much as we do.
So they ate a little before we left the house.
The prawns are big, so by eating that alone, they feel so full, they didn’t even take the ‘Man-Tou’.
Only for this project, cos’ it really tough…

4malmal,
they do you know.
But not too spicy… like otah, roti-prata curry…
and its always accompanied by a big glass of water!
They kept going “Sih..sih..sih..” but they just refuse to stop eating! *laugh*
