i have never been to red house for the longest time.
food was surprisingly good leh! ^^

lemongrass chilli lobster 香茅辣椒龙虾 – S$88
usually it is a waste to add chilli to a fresh & expensive lobster.
this one though was done very well. the chilli was very tasty, i thought a bit thai style.

lobster very good, the chilli did not overwhelm the sweetness of the lobster meat. enhanced it la… 🙂
1/2fragrant crispy duck 香酥鸭 – S$23
friend also ordered 1/2 fragrant crispy duck 香酥鸭.
it is a variation of the roast duck which we eat too often.
this was deep-fried & could taste the fragrance of the spices. they usually served it with some crepe so the server proceeded to destroy (tear up) the duck. we didn’t want the crepe. friend’s wife commented the presentation was not good. in shanghai/jiangsu they would cut the duck in slices & nicer presentation.
also the duck was a bit dry inside, not such a good preparation.
spinach tofu 三层楼 – S$14
the spinach tofu was excellent, very tasty very well done.

seafood hor fun 杂锦河粉 – S$12
the seafood hor fun 杂锦河粉 was very good too. very nice wok hae (wok fragrance!)

the dimsum dishes were quite refine & the main courses were also top draw.
overall it was an excellent lunch, much better than i expected from a seafood restaurant like red house (there are so many similar places like jumbo, long beach, no sign board etc).

the dessert were ok but did not really stand out.
i enjoyed my lemongrass jelly with sorbet.
杨枝甘露
the 杨枝甘露 looked average.
orh nee 芋泥
the orh nee 芋泥 didn’t looked right. maybe taste was ok?
