Red House Seafood

ketchup crab - 8/10

we had a little of a seafood craving one day. so i decided to go to one of my favourite seafood places that i always go to; Red House. its one of those restaurants in the seafood center at east coast park. I've been going there for years and there is alot of great food here. the seafood is fresh and they even recently renovated so now its really nice and clean, with an air-conditioned second floor too for those who don't like to dine al-fresco.

the pepper crab here is probably one of the best and the chilli crab is not bad too.

fresh steamed prawns - 9/10

we started off with some freshly steamed prawns. i really like how they do their prawns so well. juicy and succulent, it's served with grounded chillies in a dark sweet sauce.

venison with spring onion and ginger - 4/10

the venison wasn't too good though. a little hard and rubbery. it tasted really lean as though there wasn't enough fat in the meat.

spicy thai-style seafood combination - 8.5/10

this one was a surprise. one of the house specialties that i never tried before. its sort of hard to describe. its slightly creamy and spicy, with a hint of thai sweet sauce. its really good though. squid, fish slices, scallops and prawns were cooked together in the sauce to make it nice and tasty.

we also had ketchup crab (we got the sri lankan ones. they're usually bigger and meatier). yup, gotcha there didn't i. yeah, its ketchup crab. and not chilli crab. no prizes for guessing why. it wasn't too bad though. i just dunked it in the spicy thai seafood sauce to give it a little kick.
