Along with my partner in crime here I decided to take it easy tonight, especially since there's a big party tomorrow and I'm still battling my cough and various viruses.  So we thought we'd have a relaxed and decent dinner.  Going through the guides, the destination to emerge was Jumbo Seafood at the East Coast Seafood Center.  Just like that, we hopped into a cab, not knowing what we'd get into.

After a relatively long cab ride, we landed near this picturesque beach lined with various fancy yet relaxed seafood restaurants.  All of them offered an interesing mix of indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor section just spilling out of the covered area onto the patio.  Since today was the first time I've actually witnessed good sunshine, naturally we had to enjoy our meal outdoors.

Keep in mind that food is relatively cheap here.  For the 20 odd euros we each spent, we feasted on fabulously cooked seafood – two spicy craps, drunken prawns, fried yiou-tiao with cuttle fish, and my favorite veggie dish – garlic stir fried dou miao.  (And yes, I promise to bring my camera next time to show you the goodies.)  Other guests were also enjoying their meals, attested by the mounds of food and numerous bottles of wine and beer piled on their tables.  The only drawback of the night was an unexpected allergic reaction on my part to the seafood face stuffing.  It's nothing serious, but definitely a first for me to have a reaction to my favorite food.

They say this is the place for good eating, and luckily, I still have 4 months ahead to discover all Singapore has to offer.
