Do you long for a meal of seafood, but don't want to go all-out and splurge on a huge spread? We know just the place to satisfy those cravings! JUMBO Seafood at ION Orchard has upped its afternoon tea game and launched An Extravagant Afternoon Sea Experience, a high tea set consisting of delicate, miniature servings of the restaurant's bestselling dishes.
Diners can expect to be served popular offerings like Chilli Crab, Prawn Fried with Cereal and Braised Abalone, along with a selection of tea and two unique desserts. Best of all, you can enjoy all these while appreciating a bird's-eye view of Orchard Road. Read on to check out our experience and see pictures of the afternoon tea menu!

Start off your afternoon tea journey by choosing between a pot of Wellness Eight Treasures Tea or Flower Tea. These are served in glass teapots atop a pretty tea warmer.

For the main event, diners get to enjoy seafood delicacies in bite-sized servings on a two-tier stand. If you tend to prefer savoury bites over sweet ones, this menu is going to suit you perfectly!
On the top tier, you'll find JUMBO Seafood's signature Chili Crab Meat Sauce with Sliced Fried 'Mantou', Crispy Fried Baby Squid, and Dragonfruit Lobster Salad with Lumpfish Caviar.
On the bottom, there's crisp and crunchy Shelled Prawn Fried with Cereal, Scallop Wrapped in Yam Ring, and Seafood Bacon Roll Tossed with Salad Cream. While the staff encourages starting from the top tier and making your way down, these miniatures taste delicious when eaten in any order.

But wait, there's more! Mild dishes like Cod Fish Steamed with Preserved Radish and Diced Chilli, as well as Home-made Vegetable Beancurd Braised with Fresh Mushroom and Braised Abalone with Premium Sauce and Fragrant Rice are served on a side plate, making for a great end to the mains.
Desserts

By this point, we were looking forward to having something cool and refreshing in contrast to all the savoury bites. The Chilled Lime Jelly with Mixed Fruits does just the trick with fresh mango, passionfruit and watermelon bits layered over a sweet and sour jelly. Those who dislike overly sweet desserts will also love the scoop of Yam Ice Cream with Roasted Pumpkin Bits!
An Extravagant Afternoon Sea Experience costs $59++ per pax ($49++ per pax for JUMBO Rewards members) and require a minimum of 2 pax to dine. The set will be available from now till 25 January 2024, and will resume again on 26 February 2024 after Chinese New Year.
