Red House at The Quayside @ Robertson Quay

It is the 6th day of the Lunar New Year, our sister, brother-in-law and nephew flew back, transitting in Singapore to visit us for a few days before flying again to Ipoh to brother-in-law's parents' place.

We picked them up at Changi Airport in the afternoon and told them we shall toss Yu Sheng later in the night. I got a complimentary Red House Yu Sheng voucher so we thought we might as well have our dinner there as well. I did not know that there's a Red House in Robertson Quay! We always go to the one at East Coast.

Oh wow, the place was huge! It's non-aircon but it was not hot at all. Fans turning at full speed and the weather's been really cool. There were so many people there when we went there at 7:30 pm. Though we had a booking, we still had to wait, the serving staff were apologetic saying people have finished their dinner, but they are not getting up.

After the saying of auspicious sounding greetings, it was time to 'toss'!

Well, it was a very civilised toss! Minimal wastage!
Our 1.5 year old nephew must be thinking these adults are playing with food!


For the other dishes, we passed the menu to our younger sis.
She picked these dishes that she missed eating. They have similar food in London, but not exactly the same.

Spinach Tofu $21
A common dish to us, but to sister and husband, something they missed eating!

Green Pea Shoots ($24)
Had it fried with garlic. We are all vegetable lovers, so we are quite happy to eat it.

Teriyaki Cod Fish, 3 pieces for $48.
Mixed reviews, we the locals thought it was so so, but both our sis (almost similar tastebuds) thinks it's too fishy. Even the baby did not want to eat it.

Chilli Crab ($60)For their chilli crabs, everyone gives it a thumbs up. Comparing to the different seafood places, Red House's chilli crabs has always been one of our favourites. It's spicy yet a tiny bit on the sweeter side. Probably suits our tastebuds as we finished up most of the gravy!

If only their fried man tou was more crispy. We like Jumbo's version of man-tou. We were comparing the different flavours of crabs to eat at each restaurant. This place is for Chilli. Eng Seng for Black Pepper. No Signboard for White Pepper.

Seafood Combination ($42)
We saw this dish in the menu and it's one of the specialties, so we ordered it.
We all liked it, there's prawns and scallops and the sauce was very lemongrassy curry. It's something that's very appetizing and perfect over hot steaming rice.

Ee Fu Noodles ($18)
A noodles dish to symbolize long life! Oh, the little baby loves these noodles! He was slurping away!


We were glad to have our siblings back with us even for a short while.  They are now in Ipoh enjoying their Ipoh Hor Fun and other nice food.

The food above plus all the taxes was $282.20. We paid with an OCBC card and there's some lucky draw.
If you want to have more tossing of Yu Sheng, their version is quite tasty. Their takeaway Yu Sheng is 1-for-1 that we saw on their specials.

If you like us, got a bit lost, look for the fancy bridge, Red House is just near it.

Red House @ East Coast Seafood Centre

This was taken almost two weeks ago! (How time flies eh!) We were at the airport to pick up Mum.

One of the nearest place to have a welcome home dinner was at the East Coast Seafood Centre. We have not had dinner at Red House for the longest time, so we thought we will try their food. We were lucky to be there early. We did not make any reservation and still managed to get a seat for a table of 7.

These are the Fresh Prawns drunken with Hua Tiao and Herbs.

We ordered this because we wanted to have these succulent prawns. Don't they look absolutely lovely?
But the excuse we had was, Mummy has not have them for 3 months. LOL. (As if they do not have prawns in the UK.)

The broth with Hua Tiao and herbs simmered with fresh prawns were absolutely delightful.

The braised spinach tofu with Honshimeiji.

Don't you think we are boring people?  Why are we always ordering reconstituted tofu that has been mixed with some vegetable with mushrooms on top? They were not bad. But a simple dish like this, most decent restaurants have almost perfected it.

All they need is the person recommending the dishes saying, it's our 'signature dish' or it's 'homemade', there is a 90% chance we will order it. Don't you think so?

This is something different that we don't usually order. BBQ Squid with Crunchy Jellyfish. If you happen to come here, you should try their BBQ Squid. They are good! Very good.

They were taken off the BBQ grill at the correct time. They were soft when you bite it. The sauce that was it must have caramelised nicely so it was fragrant and tasty. It came with a 'thai-ish' herby sourish dip.

Mee Goreng.  Another family favourite. Their version here was nice. Spicy, savoury, slightly sweetish. Good good.

The Braised Gluten Puff and Bamboo Pith with Seasonal Vegetables.
Although I am not a fan of all the gluten based stuff, this was surprisingly good. In fact after the first bite, I took another piece.

The Par Tin Fish with the chef's Spicy Bean Sauce.

Fish always taste good when they are fresh. For me, I think Par Tin fish always goes well with some spicy sauce. It will mask any muddy taste the fish might have.

Chilli Crab is chilli crab lah. But they call it Crabs in Red House Chilli Stew here.

We did realise that their crabs here were not too expensive. We only had one crab as we have ordered so many other things. This crab we had here was about $30 plus only. Maybe it's just that the market price for crabs were lower that day?

Of course you have to order the man tous to mop up the chilli crab sauce.
Yum Yum....

good bye

Oh, by the time we finished our dinner, it was already so dark.
The whole place was so packed too!

It's dark now.. and lots of people too!
