JUMBO Signatures

JUMBO Signatures is a Singaporean seafood restaurant on the basement level of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. It is the first premium restaurant concept from JUMBO Group, the company behind JUMBO Seafood, and it opened in 2022.

The idea is to bring the group's best-known dishes together under one roof. The chilli crab comes from JUMBO Seafood. The bak kut teh, a peppery pork rib soup, comes from Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh, another group brand. Around them sit newer dishes, set menus and a wine list, served in a dressier room. JUMBO Group itself dates back to 1987.

What to order

Chilli crab is the headline dish. The sauce is made with chilli, lemongrass, turmeric and candlenut, then thickened with egg for a silky finish. Fried mantou buns are the usual partner, for mopping up the sauce. The bak kut teh is the other dish the restaurant is built around.

There are three main ways to eat here:

• À la carte: individual dishes, good for sharing around the table
• Executive set lunch: a starter, a main course, a rice or noodle dish and dessert
• Tasting menu: seven courses plus a few surprise extras, with wine pairing as an option

The set menus change from time to time, so dishes may differ on your visit. Past menus have included a seafood salad with century egg and tofu, and a fragrant fried rice with crab meat and sakura prawns. Another past dish is sliced luffa melon in a golden pumpkin stew.

The wine list was chosen to suit Singaporean flavours. An in-house sommelier can suggest a glass or bottle to match your dishes.

The setting

The design looks back to Singapore's history as a British colony. Black-and-white details and fine geometric patterns run through the room. Next to the main dining hall there are VIP rooms. These are used for private dinners, family celebrations and company events, and the restaurant takes enquiries for them through its website.

Good to know before you go

• Book ahead through the TableCheck link on the official website, or call the restaurant.
• Lunch and dinner are served as separate sittings, so check current times on the website.
• Pork is on the menu, most notably in the bak kut teh.
• The restaurant says its chefs use locally sourced produce where possible.
• Bayfront MRT station connects directly to The Shoppes, so it is easy to reach by train.
