JUMBO excursion

its the new year but some how it seems like end of last year. if u know wad i'm babbling.
time passes.
i'm blogging for last year and i feel guilty abt it. although i don get paid or wadever i think this shows how unmotivated i am with my food blog *guilty guilty guilty*
alright, for christmas eve i went to JUMBO!!!!
yeah. not to mention the self prepared after dinner gathering. was full all the way from christmas eve till new year eve. hehehe.
alright simple dishes cos only 2 of us. but it was nearly a hundred bucks alr.....
first up, all time favourite hotplate tofu....
the tofu is smooth although was pondering whether its the handmade tofu or not....
the presentation was creative and a plastic looking cover was used when it was served.
most importantly this hotplate tofu can nvr be beaten. look closely and u will see:
tofu
egg
SCALLOP
MUSHROOM
PRAWNS

if u are a geographer u will know the that a pencil is always used to make comparison to the size of an object. so here please look at how big the scallops are in comparison to the tofu. wahaha. not all big things taste good, but this is the perfect combi anyone can get.

wad's JUMBO without crabS?????
chillli crab.
a slight tingly spicy sauce
topped with eggs that flows into ur mouth making the crabs just slidding into ur gullet.
meat is not too soft not too hard but QQ
natural sweetness of crab being locked in
great marriage between the crab and the sauce.
jus a gentle regret that the sauce looked and tasted a little starchy.



this is JUMBO'S award winning prawn.
forgot its exact name but its actually salted egg yoke with prawn. if u had tasted salted egg with crabs you'll have a better impression. the use of salted eggs is a brilliant idea (personal fan of salted eggs.) it blends well with the prawns and had a taste of the red and green peppers in it so it doesn't taste sick after a while. prawns had the right crisp and jumped ard when chewing (trying very hard to say its fresh) the egg yokes miraculously manage to stick to the prawns such that u won feel like u are eating them seperately. (like drinking milo powder den swallow water). all the dished ordered made me salivate when i look at the pictures. get me to JUMBO now!






auntie note: GST AND SERVICE charge can be a killer. we had a discount when we use citibank credit. rmb to also make reservation if going on a wkend u don wan to be disappointed.
