Byrs are in town and that means a good meal out on company's expense!Though the atmosphere is a lil tense (due to office politics, what's new, eh?), the food is quite good, not superb, but quite good. Under a laid back open air table with the view of the sea along the East Coast Parkway, we had a feast under the stars last night in Jumbo, one of the Singapore home grown seafood restaurant since 1987.
We ordered the signature dishes - chilli crab and black pepper crab (Two rounds of both versions!) and specifically requested for Sri Lankan crabs as these crustaceans are heavier than their local cousins. Plus, their flesh is also sweeter. Though the fiery and sweet egg gravy sauce soaked up with the fragrant fried Chinese bread "Man Tou" is delicous, I would much perfer the black pepper crab in all times.
We also had fried taro with scallop, fluffy tofu with mushrooms, traditional satay, drunkard prawns, crispy baby squids, fried rice and of course veggies. Although I'm sure there are a few more dishes we ordered but I figured if I can't remember them, they are most probably not that good and impressive.
One of the frustrations is that the customer services are very slow and inefficient. But at the end of the day, who cares when you are busy eating some of the best food in town?
