"The gravy is sweet and nutty, with just the right amount of chilli. Make sure you order some mantou (fried buns) to soak up the gravy."

"JUMBO Seafood has always been the place to go for chilli crab since it opened in 1987 at the still-popular East Coast Seafood Centre. The gravy accompanying the flavoursome crab at Jumbo is slightly more tomatoe-y than elsewhere and richly layered with egg."

"I was relieved that the crab wasn’t too spicy. The sauce was really tasty with a touch of sweetness and just enough heat."

"When you order chili crab you MUST order fried mantou (siopao dough without filling) to sop up all the yummy chili sauce. I was shy to order another plate of mantou."
on Mantou
"Everyone literally ate the sweet crunchy cereal with a spoon and topped over the fried rice. The prawns, barely recognizable under the mountain of cereal, were plump and perfectly cooked."
"Crab doesn't come with rice but with a Mantou deep fried mini bun. It's so crispy and delicious."

"The best chilli crab - spice is not too overpowering. Prepare to eat with your hands as it is the best way to eat it."
"Jumbo Seafood is a Singaporean institution renowned for its legendary Chili Crab. This iconic dish, with its unique blend of flavors and textures, is a must-try for any visitor. The restaurant itself offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the focus on fresh, high-quality seafood shines through in every dish. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Jumbo Seafood is sure to impress."
"There is always something terribly fun and satisfying about eating crab. Picking the meat, getting the best bits, getting frustrated but then rewarded, it’s a trip of its ow . And if it’s dunk in creamy, spicy, sweet, delectable sauce, there are few things that can beat it. I’ll never forget the experience and it would definitely be part of my “last meal” menu. The price tag I won’t forget either, but I’d go back any time for it."
"Outstanding!"
