Today = pool, naps, reading my first 2018 book club book, more pool, more naps and when it started to rain and we had to vacate our glorious day bed next to the pool….I had my last bath in the wonderful deep soak tub.
A few days ago I went on a google mission to find the best chilli crab in Singapore. Turns out, that’s really hard! However, Jumbo Seafood at Riverwalk kept coming up again and again and again. So I booked us a table and off we went!
We went to the smaller one along the Riverwalk side but there is also one called Riverside further into Clarke Quay. It was about an 8 min walk from the hotel through the lovely Fort Canning Park and across some very pretty bridges.
When we arrived for our booking, they explained the seating was for 1hr 15mins which was no drama to us. I know that timed seating can piss people off sometimes but we love it – it means prompt service!
I’m allergic to shellfish so I ordered the salted fish and chicken fried rice. It was REALLY good and a small serve ($16) was more than enough for two people. B ordered the chilli crab of course! It was the small crab at around 800g. His comments were “it was really good, the sauce had a nice tang but wasn’t too crazy hot – more like sweet chilli”. He definitely recommends people try the chilli crab here.
After dinner, we wandered back through Clarke Quay. We got very lucky with the rain again and it turned from a rainy afternoon into a lovely evening. Clarke Quay is obviously the centre for night clubs etc. It has a loud, colourful, drink filled vibe. We got some cool photos and had some shots at the shots bar.
HFC perk 7: they have given us a late checkout of 2pm tomorrow so we will be able to go out in the late morning, collect our souvenirs for the kids and then come back to the room and shower before heading to the airport
