Tea and Towel = $1.80++ per person.

Pickles at $3.00++ per plate. (You can tell them you don't want the pickles)

Red House is a seafood restaurant established since 1976. They specialize in Asian seafood dishes and Singaporean favorites. 





They have outdoor seating and indoor seating.














Scallop Dumpling ($7.00++)

There wasn't any scallop taste and the soup was so so only... I suggest don't waste your $ on this. Why not add $6++ more to order a better quality soup below!



Double Boiled Cartilage ($13.00++)



As you can see from the photo above, the broth was rich and thick as it was simmered for hours and of course it was full of flavour!! Premium quality, Must-Order!!!





BBQ Pork "Char Siew" Crispy Bun ($4.00++)


The exterior was not crispy enough but the taste was ok..





Takesumi Chilli Crab Bun ($8.00++)

This was my first time trying chilli crab bun with bamboo charcoal exterior skin.. Maybe I'm not used to having steamed type of chilli crab bun especially in charcoal so feel a little funny when I consume it. And there's quite many chilli seeds inside which I don't like. But this was their signature dim sum there so you should have a try if you have not!




Steamed Custard Bun ($4.00++)

The custard was smooth and creamy but need to improve on the skin to be more fluffy..




A sample of their other menu. 


Overall Impression: Red House has wide variety of Chinese food in their menu, it will be a good place to bring your foreigner friends or family here for lunch or dinner. Dim Sum only available during lunch. Service was quite good here. Food quality was decent for the dim sum. But they're famous for their seafood so try their seafood if you're there ya. The prices here are reasonable and affordable too!

High Tea at Atrium Lounge Marina Mandarin (6 Raffles Boulevard - Marina Mandarin Singapore, Singapore 039594) Reservation:6845 1111

Visited on 16 August 2015 (Sun).

Enjoy a weekend 3-Tier afternoon tea, inclusive of coffee or tea at only $42++ for 2 persons at the Atrium Lounge.

Available on Saturdays & Sundays only, from 3pm to 5.30pm










Earl Grey from Twinings and Latte









The scones here were much bigger than many other hotels that tasted quite nice..







Overall Impression: For the price of $42++ for 2 pax, I've already expected nothing outstanding, just a decent afternoon tea with normal coffee and tea, which is why I did not comment much about the food items above. But the ambience here was really comfy and romantic. If you just want to have a quiet and cosy ambience for a affordable afternoon tea, you can try this place. :)

Sweet Potato, Pumpkin & Carrot Soup / Minestrone Soup / Chicken Consomme Soup
The chicken consomme soup was very tasty - Made me went back for more!!


Ham


Salad


Freshly baked breads with homemade herb butter station


Cheese




Tiramisu
I love Italian buffet cos we can usually expect to see Tiramisu there. Everyone loves this big bowl of Tiramisu but somehow it doesn't taste that great. It was too over creamy and can't taste anything else... 



Chocolate Mousse





Baba Rum
This was a gem here! I never get to see this dessert at a buffet before. The yeast cake was fluffy, sweet and citrus-scented saturated in rum! The taste was amazingly good!




Bonnet Astigiana & Raspberry Coulis
This is an Amaretti chocolate pudding with orange blossom, and basil cress. A very unusual dessert that was very very rich. So save it for the last!








Beef Shank with Tomato Sauce



Snapper (Fish with Celeriac Puree Sauce)
This was the BEST dish that I love here! Tender Snapper with very nice creamy sauce + the  mussels were infused with the creamy sauce, so it tasted extremely good!


Roasted Chicken with Red Wine Sauce
I like the fragrant mild red wine sauce but the chicken meat was a tad tough...



Sauteed Mix Vegetables



Farfalle (Pasta with Beef Cheek Ragout)



Saffron Risotto



Spaghetti Aglio Olio


3 Types of Wood-fired Oven Pizzas



Their pizza were really good!







Inclusive of a round of coffee or tea
Nice Latte and Cappucino!



Overall Impression: Don't expect wide variety of food and dessert as the price is really reasonable. The quality of their food was quite good here! Service was great too as our plates were cleared and water was refilled quite promptly. I must say this is a Value-For-Money Buffet! This buffet is good for those people who don't have a big stomach space for huge buffet. Quality over variety buffet!
