Some of you might have tried the Chilli Crab Steamed Dumplings from Din Tai Fung but let me assure you that the Chilli Crab Pau here is out-of-the-world. The chilli crab filling oozes out the moment you take a bite, the pau's exterior was soft and the thickness was just nice. The combination of chilli crab and pau is definitely awesome, perfect for lazy bones like me who wants to eat chilli crab but refuses to get their hands dirty.
The Char Siew Pastry is a favourite of mine too. Some confectioneries do this dish with a thick pastry. Red House's version is just nice, not too thick but still crispy enough to put a smile on my face.
The dinner menu we tried was Trio Combination of Chef's Signature Squid, Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crab, Creamy Custard Prawn, Spicy Seafood Combination and Baby Kai Lan in minced garlic.
The 2 crab dishes were the highlights of the meal. I enjoyed the Chilli Crab a lot because the sauce was tangy. The spiciness was not too overpowering, perfect for those who are a little daunted by chilli. The Black Pepper Crab was juicy and so spicy that it had me scrambling for water.
The dark horse was definitely the Creamy Custard Prawn. I would suggest that you eat it like that, WITHOUT de-shelling it, The essence of the sauce is on the shell itself, trust me on this. Everyone at the table were silent when we were devouring this dish, I like the taste of the yolk in the cream sauce and the freshness of the prawns was a major delight.
Red House Seafood is a family run restaurant and their dim sum are freshly hand made by their chefs everyday. It is available throughout the day but fantastic food come in limited quantities so do not be disappointed if you come by in the evening and there isn't any Chilli Crab Pau left!
The dishes may be a little pricey but for the quality, it is worth it.
I am sure it will be a good location for family gatherings or corporate functions.
