Red House Seafood Restaurant is located a Robertson Quay, Singapore. This is one of them, another one located at East Coast Seafood Centre, Singapore.

Red House Seafood Restaurant at Robertson Quay has a cosmopolitan feel to the interior.

The modern interior designed by the acclaimed architects of GreenhilLi.

There’s a very huge ceiling fan called the ‘Big Ass’ fans measuring 7 metres in diameter. Not in the photo though.

Even the menu is red.

This peanut was given to us while we wait for our food. It’s not FOC. It’s charged along with the wet towel. It’s automatically charged to your bill so don’t be surprised about it.

We ordered Chinese tea to go with our dinner. The tea was free flow but I don’t have the price with me.

Let’s see what we had for our dinner:

Signature Creamy Custard Prawn(SGD7 for 100gm)

Braised Spinach Tofu & Honshimeji Mushroom topped with Crisp Conpoy (small, SGD14)

New Zealand Tender Venison on Sizzling Hot Plate(medium, SGD27)

Red House Mee Goreng(small, SGD12)

Braised Ee Fu Noodle with Assorted Mushroom and Chives(small, SGD10)

Sambal Kang Kong(small, SGD10)

Don’t you think the prices were a bit steep? It’s OK to indulge once in a while and the food were pretty good.

Ho Chiak Bak Kut Teh is located just opposite Dewan Masyarakat where Kuching Festival is held every year and Chung Hua Primary School No.3.

How can you not have chili for bak kut teh?

They claimed that this bak kut teh is original recipe from Klang. However, I’m not judge to say it’s not as I’m not a bak kut teh expert.

Let’s see what we had:

Garlic rice(RM1)

Bak kut teh (RM6), the usual type we usually get.

Bak kut teh (RM6), this is the dry type.

By the way, the place is not air-conditioned. It’s just like any other kopitiam.

Hoi Tin Lau is located at somewhere behind the shoplot of Guardian at Jalan Mendu. It used to be located at Continental Hotel. They specialized in Chinese food.

Had the opportunity to try out the food last month and let’s see what we had. No actual food name and price available though, just want to show you the food:

Peanuts for you to savour while waiting for your food to be served. This is not free, there’s a charge for it.

Midin, it’s not the usual type that cook with sambal, this is sweet and sour and it’s served cold. Great for appetizer.

I assume this is seafood noodle.

One of the combination dishes that you can order there. In this dish that we had, there were abalone, jellyfish and some other food that I can’t recall.

Venison / Deer meat.

Fried kailan, another dish that you can try out. I’m sure not many people tried this dish before. The kailan leaves were deep fried and it’s very crispy.

Lastly, buttered prawn. Buttered prawn fans might want to try this out.

Was invited to a wedding last weekend. Would like to share the food I had with you. These are some of the dishes available for those that want to have dinner/lunch banquet at Four Points by Sheraton. The host had changed the original menu to what you see now as the one proposed earlier on was not suitable for the guests.

I’m sorry but I cannot give you much feedback on the food as banquet food usually taste almost the same everywhere to me, nothing much to rave about them unless if they are really really bad or really really delicious then that’s different story.


Four Season Combination Platter. There were 4 types of appetizers there but I don’t know the names and I cannot recognize them in the photos. If not mistaken, there’s beef, chicken, crab stick roll and sio bee.


Braised fish lips with Crab Meat Soup.


Oven Roasted Chicken with Mango Salad. At least this is something I don’t always come across in a banquet.


Steamed Red Lion Fish with “Tong Kwai” and Scallions Julienne in Superior Sauce.


Sauteed Buttered Prawn.


Braised Mixed Vegetable with Garlic.


Lotus Leaf Rice with Chicken and Mushroom.


Chilled Sea Coconut Sweet Soup with Lemon.

Sing Hiang Hing Foodshop is located at Lundu Market, the second floor.  Not hard to locate the place, Lundu is not a big place, don’t worry about getting lost when you are there.

A plate of meat(pork, chicken and egg) for three.

A bowl of vegetables soup for three but the soup came with pork meatballs, prawns and livers in it. It’s not pure vegetable soup.

A plate of prawn is RM18 for consumption of 3 people.  Salt Prawn(translated literally based on the Chinese name) is the specialty of the shop. It is highly recommended by the locals.

Total spent on this meal was RM32, excluding the drinks from other shop.

Dim Sum lovers might want to check out Yamisu Tea House.

Yomisu Tea House is located at Premier 101. It’s quite easy to locate because of the building’s colour. I’m sure you will easily spot it.

Since they just opened for business, the place was packed.

They were out of dim sum already.

They adopt wireless paging system. Interesting… First in Kuching, I guess…

The menu but not much choices.

Jasmine tea (RM5)

Only managed to order this:


BBQ Pork (2 in 1) - RM10
