Jumbo Seafood

We had lunch with friends today at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. It was our first time to eat at this restaurant that is highly recommended by a lot of people who've been to or are residing in Singapore. The branch we ate at was located at Clarke Quay and is in an area where there are lots of other restaurants and bars. I hear the area is one of the places to go not just during lunchtimes or weekends but during nighttime as well. In fact, many establishments open in time for lunch and this Saturday, it was not crowded so one can dine comfortably even with a group. You can see eat inside or al fresco and with a view of the river. Anticipating a good lunch time crowd, however, we decided to make reservations for our group the day before.

That's "Spinach Skin Bean Curd with Mushrooms" at left and "Fried Prawns in Cereal" on the right

We also had "Steamed Red Tilapia in Nonya Sauce" and "Seafood Fried Rice." Unfortunately, I was not able to take photos of these delightful items as we were busy exchanging stories with good friends who are also based in Singapore. I must say though that the food was great and definitely up to the hype some people were saying about this restaurant. The service, too, was very good as the staff were attentive and quite efficient. The restaurant also offered great value for money considering the serving sizes (and the corresponding prices). It is one of those places that you will keep coming back for future meals and especially with friends.
