Jumbo Seafood (East Coast Seafood Centre)

Celebrated my grandma's birthday at Jumbo over the weekend. As usual, the place is packed up and down, outside and inside!

Having read the reviews on other Jumbo outlets, I had all the dishes I want to order prepared prior to the dinner. And thank goodness the dishes didn't disappoint. Except for one - the black pepper crab.

The crabs were all very fresh and juicy. We were given the bigger ones since we had 16 at the table. Ordered Chili Crabs and the black pepper crab. Chili Crab was fabulous - gravy was tasty, not too sweet nor too spicy. Just nice and goes very well with the fried mini man tou. However the black pepper crab was too saltish. Not too most for our liking.

Other dishes ordered include... Scallop yam rings - very yummy! Crispy baby squid - crispy and nice Abalone, sea-cucumber and mushroom with broccoli Cereal prawn - love the cereal! fresh prawns! Salted egg prawn - it was gone before I could taste it! Steam fish - at $110 the fish was very fresh and juicy Shredded chicken ee-mee Honeydew Sago dessert

Overall the food was good and the serving size was just enough for 16 of us. The service could have been better. Being seated at the corner on the upper level, with an almost dying air-con and a bright orange light, it was a little warm through the dinner.

Total bill came up to about $650, with 10% discount off from the Jumbo card, we paid slightly more than $580 for the dinner. Price wise is reasonable.

No photo/video for this because everyone was hungry and the lighting was really very bad for photography. Must remember to ask for a white-light lighted table the next time.
