Dim sum set lunch from Red House Seafood Restaurant

Red House Seafood Restaurant, spicy seafood

Red House Seafood Restaurant, oyster hor fun

Red House Seafood Restaurant, durian mochi

This was a pretty good deal for lunch. I hadn't even heard of Red House Seafood (68 Prinsep Street, tel : +65 6336 6080) until the recent couple of years.  The quality of the seafood certainly spoke for itself even though that spicy seafood plate. Their dim sum was also better than I had anticipated. Notably well done were the light chewy skins of the crystal dumplings with delicious mixed mushroom fillings and the spinach with scallops that were stuffed in the green dumpling. Even the humble siew mai was light, spot on with the flavours and tasty. Unexpectedly, I was spooning up mouthfuls of the starchy gravy from their oyster hor fun

Speaking of which, it's a real broth that's been thickened with corn starch in that hor fun gravy. Not the junk that one regularly finds elsewhere. The durian mochi was edible. I think I wouldn't mind at all coming back for a go at their dim sum.
