We decided to head down to Jumbo Seafood @ Dempsey for a triple celebration – CNY lunch with parents + mum’s birthday + Valentine’s Day lunch. What a combination, right? The place was nicely decorated with CNY ornaments and we were promptly ushered to our table. Pen Cai ($268++)Simply delicious and heavenly! This Pen Cai tasted much better than Paradise Group’s one which we had during reunion dinner. Laced with live prawns, baby abalone, dried and fresh scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw and many

Pen Cai ($268++)
Simply delicious and heavenly! This Pen Cai tasted much better than Paradise Group’s one which we had during reunion dinner. Laced with live prawns, baby abalone, dried and fresh scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw and many other delicacies; the sweetness and essences of the myriad of ingredients emerged from the pot and a whirl of flavours greeted our taste buds.
The ingredients blended harmoniously together and the soup broth was rich and tasty. The stars of the dish – live prawns, baby abalone, scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw and mushrooms – were fresh and well braised. The only shortfall, I feel, were the baby abalones which were slightly overcooked, and therefore, tougher than usual.
The hidden gems - boiled chicken and roasted duck tucked at the bottom of the pot – were light, soft and tender, a complement to the rich flavours exuded by the sea treasures.
Yu Sheng ($48++)
The waitress that helped prepare our Prosperity Yu Sheng was friendly and warm. Auspicious words were uttered with every ingredient added and soon, we were tossing to a bountiful snake year ahead! Good ol’ traditional lo-hei during this festive period to usher in abundance, prosperity, vigor and harmony among the family.
Truly a memorable and exceptional dining experience – where we unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and where family bond blossoms.
