Highlights

Classic chilli crab: The defining factor of the style and taste of chilli crab at a seafood restaurant is undoubtedly the chilli sauce. Jumbo’s chilli sauce, which is thick, sweet, and slightly spicy, lives up to its reputation as a classic version. Compared to other chilli crab dishes, Jumbo’s sauce is relatively mild in spiciness, making it a great choice for those with Western palates.
In a classy ambience: The top-notch chilli crab at Jumbo Seafood is sure to make passersby envious. Located by the riverside in Boat Quay, the restaurant offers stunning views of the Singapore River and its mix of old port structures and modern skyscrapers. Outdoor seating provides a perfect spot to take in the iridescent reflections on the water, the twakow boats, and the stylish patrons. For a more comfortable dining experience, the air-conditioned interior is a great option.

RECOMMENDED DISHES: Jumbo is famous for its delicious seafood but it does not mean that meat and vegetable dishes are not worth a try. The below list carries the restaurant’s dishes, highly recommended by many local and international foodies.
