The Dempsey Road JUMBO serves chilli crab, black pepper crab and cod fish for lunch and dinner daily. The two crab restaurants are 290 metres apart in a straight line.
Orchard Road and Marine Parade
JUMBO at ION Orchard on level four is open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:30 PM and serves chilli crab, mocha pork ribs and seafood fried rice. Roland Restaurant at Marine Parade Central serves chilli crab with wok-fried rice, crispy duck and prawn rolls.
Eating crab well
Order by the crab, share the sauce with fried buns or rice, and expect to use your hands. Ask the price before the crab is cooked, so the bill holds no surprises.
After dinner by the water, the Clarke Quay and Boat Quay evening walk is close. More options sit in the Singapore guide by area.
