Ladies and Gentleman, do allow me to give an introduction of the Red House Seafood Restaurant.
Red House Seafood Restaurant is one of the oldest seafood restaurants since 1976. From mid August 2010, they introduced a new selection of handmade dim sum at its Quayside outlet. The restaurant is available daily for lunch and evening bites at the bar and also delicious seafood selections.
On the first visit to the restaurant, I tried their handmade dim sum and a few other seafood dishes.
Dim Sum Tried and comments:
- Chili crab bun
This is a very interesting dish and also tribute to the chef for his effort! From what I learnt, the chef first prepare the chili crab dish then went on to "de-shelled" it to get the crab meat before the gravy filling it up in a bun with the crabmeat and the gravy. YES, alot of effort indeed. Thanks to the chef, we get to enjoy the bun together with the gravy in a convenient way.
- Steamed pork Ribs with Yam
A special way of preparing the dish. Usually, steamed pork ribs are served without yam. i like this dish very much as the sweetness of the yam is absorbed into the pork ribs and delivered a very special unique taste. Not very oily, suitable for those who like it not so salty.
- Baked flaky Char Siew Pastry
As the name suggests, flaky. Yes indeed. The char siew filling inside is not very sweet.
Other Seafood dishes:
- Trio Combination of Chef's Signature Squid
One would be able to try all three different type of way of preparing the squid. The three different type of cooking includes: bbq style, grilled and stir-fried with salted egg.
This dish is design in a way to suit different taste buds. You get to try three different ways of cooking.
- Red House Signature Chili Crab
This is Red House Restaurant's signature dish. Definitely a must try. But to those who can't take spicy stuffs, not to worry. The gravy is not very spicy in fact, it is a sweeter version of chilli crab. The dish is served with fried man tou or steamed man tou, dipped into the gravy of the chili sauce. It's fantastic!
- Black Pepper Crab
If you are not a fan of chili crab, you can choose black pepper crab instead. This dish is the opposite of the chili crab. It is really SPICY! But it's very shiok if you think you like the dish to be hot and spicy.
- Creamy Custard Prawns
Definitely a MUST TRY! This is the first time I get to enjoy such an invention. The prawns served are completely coated with the creamy sweet custard sauce. For me, ( I know it's weird) I ate the whole prawn down together with the shell. As the sauce completely is coated on to the prawn, you were then get to enjoy the effort of the chef in the making of the sauce. Indeed unique and die die must try!
- Spicy Seafood Combination
I learnt that this dish is cooked together with chili and also lemon grass. So the sauce have the tom yum taste and can be dipped with man tou as well. This dish has a number of different seafood in it. They include prawns, fish, squid etc. Very special way of preparing the dish as this is the first time i come across this dish.
- Sauteed Baby Kailan with Minced Garlic
After so much delicious seafood, just to not let myself feel so guilty. We need some vegetables to balance out. The vegetables are crispy and the sauce is not too salty. Very light and healthy.
Overall, the trip down is worth it! The service is excellent and because the restaurant is very spacious, we wont feel hot while we are enjoying our spicy black pepper crab and chili crab. Came across a few unique dishes.
For those who like to visit the place for lunch, if you think its too heavy to eat seafood during lunch time hour before meetings, not to worry. The restaurants do served dim sum during lunch hour as well as dinner.
Won a $50 food voucher from Red House Seafood and only restricted meal at robertson Quay. What to order for 2 persons is not easy and keeping to the limit of $50. I went through the menu and to order fried rice costs $14 and it is too easy to exhaust the $50 voucher.
