Celebrate this Lunar New Year at Red House Seafood at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore with their specially curated CNY Set Menus and exciting new dishes.
Prosperity Abalone and Coral Seaweed Yu Sheng 4/5
The Prosperity Abalone and Coral Seaweed Yu Sheng is a perennial favourite among regulars. It is loved for its unique crunch, which comes from the addition of coral seaweed, adding a refreshing twist to this classic dish.
Jackfruit Salad 5/5
To start, we indulged in a delightful array of new side dishes. The Jackfruit Salad stood out with its vibrant citrusy flavours, beautifully balanced by the tangy Buah Kedongdong Sauce.
Salted Egg Tempeh 4/5
Crispy Baby Squid 4/5
Both the Salted Egg Tempeh and Crispy Baby Squid offered savoury, addictive bites.
Grilled Marinated Squid 4/5
Meanwhile, the Grilled Marinated Squid impressed with its tender texture and subtle smokiness from the grill that elevated its flavour.
Steamed Giant Grouper Tail with Bentong Ginger 4.5/5
A signature highlight is the Steamed Giant Grouper Tail with Bentong Ginger, a speciality of Red House Seafood. The restaurant uniquely offers different cuts of the giant grouper, akin to steak cuts. This particular dish featured tender, firm meat with a gelatinous skin. The bentong ginger, known for its extra punchy aroma, beautifully complemented the robust flavours of the fish.
Lemongrass and Jasmine Tea Smoked Chicken 5/5
Another standout was the Lemongrass and Jasmine Tea Smoked Chicken. The meat was tender, offering a flavour profile reminiscent of sweet soy sauce chicken but elevated by the subtle, aromatic notes of lemongrass and jasmine.
Braised Sea Cucumber with Shiitake Mushroom and Duo Cauliflower 4/5
Braised Sea Cucumber with Shiitake Mushroom and Duo Cauliflower was more aesthetically pleasing than usual. The use of Yellow and Purple Cauliflower added a pop of colour to the dish. The sauce had a savoury depth of flavour that aptly complemented the braised sea cucumber.
Glutinous Rice Chicken Roll with Quinoa and Wax Meat 4.5/5
The Glutinous Rice Chicken Roll with Quinoa and Wax Meat showcased the culinary team’s expertise. The chicken was skillfully processed into a paste to encase a flavourful mixture of glutinous rice, quinoa, and wax meat, then shaped into an elegant roulade with the chicken’s skin. The incorporation of quinoa lightened the dish while making it more nutritious, a thoughtful twist on the traditional version.
Signature Chilli Crab 4.5/5
No visit would be complete without the Signature Chilli Crab, served with adorable crab-shaped mantou. The sauce struck the perfect balance of sweet and mildly spicy flavours, while the mantou was golden crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside — ideal for soaking up every last bit of the sauce.
Crispy Bubur Cha Cha 4.5/5
Purple Glutinous Rice Cake 4.5/5
For desserts, the Crispy Bubur Cha Cha offered a creative and delightful spin on the traditional dish. The crispy sweet potato strips provided an enjoyable crunch, complementing the soft sweet potato cubes and the creamy yam coconut base. The Purple Glutinous Rice Cake was another highlight, offering a healthier and aromatic take on traditional Nian Gao. The earthy flavour of the purple glutinous rice and the fragrant shredded coconut boosted an additional texture and aroma to the festive treat.
