[throw-back] Movie preview of Fagara + Crab Feast at Jumbo SeafoodRestaurant

October 19, 2019

Last month, I attended the movie preview of 'Fagara' at the Filmgarde, Bugis+.

It’s been eons since I last saw a show with Sammi Cheng, and I relished the opportunity to ‘catch up’ with a actress I used to adore greatly. She plays the estranged daughter of a steamboat restaurant owner who is suddenly thrust into ownership of the restaurant after her father passes away. One would think this would be challenging enough but she discovers her father had two other children at the funeral. I generally find most dramas these days a bit too exaggerated and unrealistic at the same time, but this film would hit right at home with people who have estranged relationships with their families. It was quite the tear jerker as the film plays out, and it did have that bittersweet moment at the end.

Before the movie commenced, we were lead to a hotpot tasting by Xiao Long Kan. I quite enjoyed this novel idea! Thanks Xiao Long Kan and Filmgarde for the kind hospitality!

Thanks Spread-it SG for the invite!

We decided to have dinner with the Lee Family at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant (The Riverwalk) As Baby's birthday was in September and being a member of the restaurant, he was given a SGD100 discount off the bill as a birthday reward from Jumbo. Apart from the signature Chilli Crab, we also ordered three other dishes.

For the main dish of Chilli Crab, we ordered some fried Mantou to go along with the delicious gravy.

If you have high expectations for your taste-buds that are pertaining to seafood, then Jumbo Seafood is the perfect place for you to try it out! We had a great Crab Feast and thanks Ryden and Jasmine for joining us!
