i usually go riverwalk, followed by east coast and then riverside. it was quite a long wait of 40min.
-
super hungry by then. but thankfully the orders came fast and furious. we ordered a 800g black pepper mud crab, chill crab sauce with mantous, a mentaiko cheese king prawn, scallops in yam rings, mee goreng and mango desserts. im quite a boring person at jumbo. 70% of my orders never change.
-
the black pepper crab was not very fleshy but its fresh. meat was firm. had to go with this smaller crab instead of the jumbo crab i preferred but it would be a 1kg crab and that would spell GG for the both of us. i liked the black pepper flavour here because its very aromatic and the pepper is just enough for that slight kick. for the chilli crab sauce and mantous, a standard favourite of sinkies to dip the buns in and soak up all the goodness.
-
the mentaiko cheese king prawn was a wonderful grilled specimen. not too cheesy or salty. a nice balance of condiments onto the substantial prawn meat for us to bite into. scallops in yam rings is a must-order everytime i come to jumbo. the crispy shell on the outside of the fragrant yam and the soft scallops inside make up such an awesome combination. the yam does not overpower the taste of the scallops. this is one yam dish i would never ever shun from.
-
the mee goreng is my favourite carbs dish here. generous ingredients, not too spicy, just slightly sweet and the texture of the noodles has just the right amount of bite. mango pudding was good but the mango pomelo sago leaves alot to be desired.
-
a nice surprise for me was the high level of service by a manager called mr michael jiang. super attentive and courteous. he really elevated our dining experience. a reason to go dempsey i guess.
