"Without the signature dish of chilli crab, Singapore's seafood recipes would be much more discolored. For the most authentic chilli crab, be sure to come to Jumbo Seafood. Jumbo Seafood, which is highly recommended by the Singapore Tourism Board on its official website, has already opened four outlets in Shanghai.
Founded in Singapore in 1987, Jumbo Seafood has become a national treasure and has won numerous awards, such as the Singapore Golden Brand Award, Asian Restaurant of the Year, Best Chilli Crab Award, and many other awards. In order to maintain the consistency of the production, the sauce and seasoning are imported from the Singapore Central Kitchen to ensure that every bite perfectly replicates the classic flavors of Sin Chew.
At Jumbo Seafood, crabs are mainly divided into three types, blue crab, Dungeness crab and Alaskan crab, and there are 10 ways to choose from: award-winning Singapore chilli crab, signature Singapore black pepper crab, golden silk butter fried crab, salted egg fried crab, ginger and scallion fried crab, salt-and-pepper baked crab, cream baked crab, vermicelli baked crab, steamed crab and white pepper crab. Blue crabs come from Sri Lanka and Indonesia, and their meat is delicious, tender and plump, making it the most popular. Because of its coarse fiber, it is not easy to lose water, and the crab claws are also very suitable for making dishes on their own after being shelled. The most classic Singaporean chilli crab is the blue crab, which is made by pouring broth, tomato sauce and secret chili sauce into a pot, and then adding eggs and crushed peanuts to thicken it. With a plate of fried steamed buns dipped in soup, it is the most authentic "treasure flavor". In addition, ginger shallots, black pepper, white pepper and cream gratin are also excellent ways to prepare blue crab.
The best month to taste Dungeness crab is from October to March every year, it is recommended to choose a weight of 1kg or more, the meat is firm, and the taste is pure and slightly sweet. Dungeness crab shells are thinner and softer, which makes them crispier and more fragrant when fried, so deep-fried, salted eggs, and salt-and-pepper cooking methods are excellent. The Alaskan crab, the "king of crabs", has a relatively fine fiber, which is suitable for any method. It is recommended to choose Alaskan crab of 4 catties and above for cooking, whether it is steamed to maintain the original flavor, or to steam eggs with crab lids, or even to use it for barbecue, only garlic and salt, it is an extremely delicious crab feast.
Jumbo Seafood is not only an expert in crab cooking, but also has a strict taste control in terms of dishes. Su Dong fritters in the treasure of Singapore hometown is definitely the signboard, Su Dong is cuttlefish, here is different from the general shrimp glue or cuttlefish slip directly stuffed into the ready-made fritters for the second frying, the fritters here is just a semi-open crispy tart bottom, the top is covered with a layer of sesame seeds, after the oil pot the aroma is rampant, the matching salad dressing is also refreshing and not greasy, it is worth eating two more. Crispy fried shrimp wrapped in cereal, creamy sweet and slightly salty, finger pepper and curry leaves provide a spicy and charming scent layer, and cereal shrimp is also a highly ordered dish. Creative meals such as mustard crab meat, steamed cod with wine flavor, mocha pork ribs, pear-scented scallops, and fried silver cod in sauce benefit from the fresh and tender ingredients, and the taste is also quite good, and even desserts such as coconut milk sago, fruit jelly, and Elvis Presley durian panna cotta can also make people impressed. However, Singaporean staples such as char kway teow, pork noodles and malay marinade are affordable but decent, and are only available at lunch at the Global Trade Centre, Raffles City and Shang Jia stores.
Among the four restaurants of Jumbo Seafood in Shanghai, only some dishes and business set menus at IFC Restaurant offer "on-the-table" dining, and there are dishes from exclusive ifc stores to order, such as steamed cod with wine-flavored Spanish ham, mustard crab salad with curry lychee crisp, etc., and signature crab dishes such as chili crab and black pepper crab, which only use freshly peeled crab claws as the protagonist, which is suitable for business banquets and other occasions where it is inconvenient to show off your embarrassment. There is basically no need to queue up to dine on weekdays, and private rooms are subject to a 10% service charge.
