The Riverwalk

Hello.

This review will focus on the branch located at The Riverwalk, situated along the Singapore River, a prime location for tourists.


Situated in the heart of the city, within the prominent tourist district of Clarke Quay.

Just a 1-kilometer walk from the Merlion.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.


Stroll leisurely along the Singapore River.


We'll be there soon after passing under the Elgin Bridge.

The shop is located between the Elgin Bridge and the Coleman Bridge.

The MRT station is only about 200 meters from the North East Line (NE5) Clark Quay Station (NE5).

The restaurant is not very large, but the tables are arranged in a way that maximizes the use of space. It is always full of customers, with a long queue waiting to be seated. The interior is bright, clean, and tidy, with an outdoor seating area offering views of the river and surrounding buildings. There is also an air-conditioned indoor seating area. The decor is themed around a seafood gallery.


Hot tea (S$1.20++)


Plain water (S$3++) and coke (S$3.80++)


Tiger Beer (S$32++)

Accompanied by a small serving of 'Peanut' (SGD 1.20++): large peanuts for snacking.


Refreshing... Ahhhh


Let's put on our bibs and get ready to eat!


The first dish is the 'Geoduck Clam Sashimi / Superior Stock' (SGD 266.40++).


A giant clam measuring 8-10 people is being tasted.

The flesh is fresh and of high quality. It can be divided into three main parts according to its color, each with a distinct texture and flavor.


To be eaten raw as sashimi


Or, you can poach it in a simmering Chinese-style broth.

The rich and flavorful broth, infused with the aroma of various spices, is sure to please your palate.


Please enjoy, sir... Aum!


Next on the menu is 'Steam Live Scallop with Vermicelli and Minced Garlic', priced per piece (SGD 14++).

A large, succulent scallop, perfectly cooked to a tender yet firm texture, rests atop a bed of springy glass noodles. The dish is bathed in a delicately fragrant sauce, seasoned with a subtle hint of saltiness, ensuring every bite is thoroughly coated. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of garlic, adding a final layer of aromatic complexity.

Deep-Fried Live Prawns with Cereal (SGD 44++)


Large, whole prawns, coated in a crispy cereal crust, are served piping hot. The shells are perfectly crisp, and the flesh is succulent and cooked through. The seasoning is subtle and dry, a stark contrast to the familiar salt and pepper fried dishes. This dish is worth trying for the experience alone.


Stir-fried Vegetables with Scallops (SGD 56++)

This dish features fresh, bite-sized scallops stir-fried with broccoli. The scallops are cooked to a perfect sweetness, while the broccoli retains a satisfying crunch. The Chinese-style stir-fry sauce is well-balanced, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.


‘Sambal Kang Kong’ (SGD 28++)

Fresh, high-quality morning glory stir-fried to a dry consistency, with aromatics thoroughly coating the vegetables. The dish boasts a fragrant aroma, bold seasoning, and a well-balanced, harmonious flavor profile.


‘Eastern Grouper Steamed Hong Kong Style’ (SGD 280++)
Steamed Eastern Grouper in Hong Kong style soy sauce, serves 4-6 people.


The staff cut and divided it neatly for me.

The fish was fresh and of good quality, but slightly overcooked. The seasoning was fragrant and well-balanced, but compared to Hong Kong standards, it lacked depth of flavor.

Finally, we come to the restaurant's most famous dish, the 'Chilli Crab' (SGD 70.20++), which has been awarded the title of "Best Chilli Crab in Singapore".


For a group of 4-6 people.


Fresh crab meat, excellent quality, generously coated in a rich and flavorful sauce. The sauce is well-balanced, with a touch of sweetness, saltiness, and creaminess. It's easy to eat and not spicy, despite the name.


This is a must-try menu item to pair with the Chilli Crab, with 24 pieces of Deep-fried Mini Buns (SGD 16.80++).


Deep-fried buns, 2-4 bites in size, with a smooth and beautiful appearance.

A full spoonful, let's get this straight… Ahhhhhhhh.


Ronaldo wants the oblique part.


The dog extended its paw to beg for food... Snap!


Some of the food prices are seasonal or by weight, but the prices are listed for your reference. For this meal, it cost S$1,240 for 10 people. The restaurant, Jumbo Seafood, at The Riverwalk branch, is very clean and tidy. The service is good. On a good day, sitting outside will give you a beautiful and relaxing view of the river. The food ingredients are of high quality, fresh, and clean. The overall taste is in the Chinese style, which is complete and flavorful but not too spicy. This restaurant is crowded, especially during prime time, so if you intend to eat here, it is best to make a reservation before coming every time.

Thank you very much.
Ronaldo
