#4 dungeness crab 苏格兰面包螃蟹 – 1.2kg S$86
we had a wonderful dinner for a very good friend at red house @ prinsep street on 4.5.2016. ^^
my primary school classmate bought lunch here recently (also a birthday). i thought the food was pretty good & might be a good place for the birthday dinner. 🙂
red house @ prinsep street
my wife & i were early as we wanted to look at some shop nearby. street parking was full at 6pm so we parked at sunshine plaza which had a lot of parking.
ambience was quite good. nice place.

#3 pepper crab – S$58
this was a red house signature dish, and it was very good!
#4 dungeness crab 苏格兰面包螃蟹 – S$86
the 苏格兰面包螃蟹 (similar to dungeness crabs at pier 39 san francisco, also a common crab dish in hong kong & china seafood restaurants) was priced at the same S$72/kg. it’s 1.2kg so S$86, quite a bit more expensive.

this also red house signature dish.
the crab meat was quite solid & more firm than sri-lankan crab.

i felt sri-lankan crab was tastier & had a better texture.
also my wife & i thought the chilli sauce was quite poor really, quite sweet but not intense with meat sweetness, instead gluey, sweet not spicy, more like a tourist version.
i would say alan’s homecooked chilli crab was a lot better than this la…
actually we ordered the chilli sri-lankan crab but they came with the expensive (heavier at 1.2kg)苏格兰面包螃蟹 . it was ok for us too to try a new crab dish.

this crab had a lot of roes & tomalleys.
friends ordered additional 10pieces man tou, so they must like the chilli. 🙂
#5 spinach tofu – S$21
#5 spinach tofu – S$21

#6 3-egg heng chai (spinach) – S$22
the 3-egg spinach also very good.

#7 seafood hor fun – S$18
we ordered a medium seafood hor fun.

#7 seafood hor fun – S$18
the broad kuay teow was especially flavourful. & the serving had quite a bit of prawns & sotong.
it was a good round-up dish for the dinner.
birthday cake
i didn’t have time so just got a 6″ 500g cake from swissbake at holland village.
this their most popular signature cake paradiso di nicciola. 🙂
cake was pretty good but the double chocolate praline from patissier was just a ot better la…
another friend, my weekly jogging partner, quietly paid for dinner without our knowledge. we were still waiting for the bill but he already settled it. ^^
dinner came to S$409. it was less than S$60pax nett. i think pretty good for this quality of food & actually cheaper than the recent 5pax lunch (which was S$311 for 5pax).
the service here was excellent, very friendly, very attentive, keep changing plates & gave a lot (continuous supply) of wet tissues etc. very good service indeed!
