Feeling crabby? Fear not, as viral Los-Angeles sandwich chain Eggslut has teamed up with JUMBO Seafood to unveil an egg-citing collaboration involving local iconic dish, the chilli crab. In a unique collaboration that sees flavours of the east and west meet, the new dishes aspire to be a match made in heaven that delights the mouths and hearts of foodies.
Available to order till 30 September 2023, popular menu items such as the Slut and the Fairfax sandwich are placed on a spin, introducing the Chili Crab Sandwich and Chili Crab Slut. We had the opportunity to try the new items on the menu.
Enjoy Flavours Packed In Every Bite Of The Eggslut And Jumbo Seafood Chilli Crab Sandwich
The Chilli Crab Sandwich ($16) is a loaded bun to begin with. Rich and fluffy scrambled eggs with chives, caramelised onions, a slice of cheddar, baby romaine and a thick layer of chili crab sauce sits between two slices of warm and buttery brioche buns.

The layer of chilli crab sauce, said to be made from JUMBO’s fresh chilli crab, tastes straight out of a good plate of chilli crab.
The sandwich is on the sweeter end, as the sauce contains notes of sweetness reminiscent of eating fried mantou dipped in a chilli crab sauce. The generous amount of scrambled eggs melded well with the sauce, providing a flavour packed experience in every bite.
However, although the sandwich promises an amazing taste, it falls a little short in the texture department. With the main ingredients being chilli crab sauce, scrambled eggs and baby romaine, the sandwich provides a slight contrast of crunch against overwhelming soft textures through the baby romaine.
Rich And Creamy Flavours Delight With Eggslut And Jumbo Seafood’s Chilli Crab Slut
The next item we tried was the Chilli Crab Slut ($12). Having the Slut as a personal favourite menu item, we were excited to try and see how the chilli crab sauce will meld with the rich flavours of the Slut.
The dish consists of a glass jar stacked with layers of house-made potato purèe, chilli crab sauce and a coddled egg sitting atop, topped with chives. It also comes with thin crusty baguette slices drizzled with olive oil for dipping.
The Slut provides a wonderful concoction of flavours that pair very well with the baguette, making it a buttery and creamy dish with a crunch.
The chilli crab sauce had a much less sweet flavour, especially when mixed with the egg and potato purèe. It was hard to taste the individual flavours of each ingredient, although it mixes together well as a whole.

Overall, the new items on the menu has us intrigued, as we were pleasantly surprised at the flavour.
For those who are worried about the spice, both the Chilli Crab Sandwich and Chilli Crab Slut tasted way less spicy than the usual chili crab fare.
