Cover Story

In case you missed the multitude of deals and celebrations that took place last year, JUMBO turned 30! Needless to say, it was an epic milestone for us – a JUMBO “thank you” to all of you who joined in our festivities. It was wonderful seeing you guys on various occasions to find out what you would love more of. Well, we heard you. Here is a taste of what we are cooking up in the exciting year ahead. 

JUMBO Seafood Debuts In Foodie Heaven – Taiwan! 

Not long ago in December, we launched our first-ever JUMBO Seafood franchise as part of a joint venture with Baipin Co., Ltd in Taipei, Taiwan. The new outlet marked our first foray into the destination known for its fresh produce, excellent service and lively food culture, much like what JUMBO is all about. 

Unsurprisingly, Baipin’s founder, Mr Henry Tseng, is also responsible for bringing the locals Michelin-starred restaurants such as Tim Ho Wan, Tsuta and Hawker Chan. This strategic partnership will drive the opening of at least eight JUMBO Seafood outlets across Taiwan, further expanding our footprint in North Asia. 

Group CEO Mr Ang Kiam Meng is confident going forward. “We are pleased that our expansion strategy in finding a strong local partner with deep knowledge, proven expertise as well as good network within the local F&B market has been progressing well,” he said. “With Mr Henry Tseng’s experience and established track record in Taiwan’s F&B industry, we believe we are on good footing to build up a strong business network in North Asia and extend the reach of the JUMBO brand in the region.” 

Opening day was filled with festivities as our exclusive guest list of over a hundred friends, business partners and Taiwanese media buzzed about the menu featuring a curation of the very best of JUMBO Seafood’s offerings. Whilst preserving the same high standards of food and service, this collaboration offers a slightly different kind of appeal. 

Boasting of Singapore-style, quirky batik kebaya uniforms, modish décor and a refreshing colour palette of white marble and vibrant blue, the new outlet is reflective of the stylish locale within Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in downtown Taipei, right next to the iconic Taipei 101. It also underlines the franchise’s strategy to reach out to young, trendy families and savvy, contemporary customers, furthering the brand’s ambition to bring the iconic taste of Chilli Crab to the world.

With a menu line-up of some of our restaurants’ star dishes, celebrate with your colleagues over the very best of Singapore seafood cuisine in the comfort of JUMBO Seafood Riverside, Gallery and Dempsey. Impress your clients with a tasting menu chockfull of stunning local flavours. For serious working lunches and business discussions, our restaurants are equipped with luxurious private rooms, projector screens and audio systems to cater to your needs.

The premium 6-course menus feature all-time favourites from JUMBO Seafood such as Steamed Cod Fish with Minced Garlic and Preserved Radish, and Chilli Crab Claw with Deep-fried Mini Buns – de-shelled for your convenience. Each course is individually plated to accommodate groups of any size.  

“Our set menus are specially designed to give customers the chance to enjoy delicious Singapore heritage food in the most convenient way. We take the fuss and mess out of indulging in quality seafood over a business lunch, set amid a pleasing ambience. 

“Our lunch courses are also individually-plated for aesthetic appeal and to tantalise taste buds, so your lunch guests are sure to be all the more impressed,” said Group CEO
Mr Ang Kiam Meng.

In fact, this set lunch is truly a no-fuss option for anyone, locals and tourists alike, looking to sample JUMBO Seafood’s signature dishes – some may find this a useful option to prevent over-ordering. For casual diners, we do recommend pairing the meal with the scenic views overlooking the bustling Singapore River at our newly expanded JUMBO Seafood Riverside.
