Red House Seafood

Treat dad to a Nanyang-style feast at Red House Seafood, as the homegrown restaurant chain presents an array of dishes, from outlet exclusives to familiar soul-satisfying classics.

The “Ya Lim” Baked Mud Crab, an exclusive dish that is available as part of the course menu, is a 1980s Malaysian classic that features plump mud crabs whose sweet and flaky flesh is accentuated by a sticky, piquant sauce of malt honey, soy sauce, and star anise. Relive the celebratory spirit of the Lunar New Year with the Prosperity Longevity Noodles ‘Lo Hei’ Style, a lavish ensemble that resembles an elegantly plated ‘Yu Sheng’ with longevity noodles at the centre, encircled by ingredients such as baby abalone, shredded chicken, bean sprouts, carrot strips, dried shiitake mushrooms, and more, bound  by a housemade sauce and a generous serving of tobiko.

Ginkyō by Kinki

Modern Japanese bistro Ginkyō by Kinki promises an exciting Father’s Day Weekend on 15 and 16 June 2024, spotlighting a contemporary menu of Japanese favourites served in a convivial setting. A complimentary glass of Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc sets the tone for the meal, followed by the bistro’s iconic Rock & Roll makis, including the AC/DC Dynamite, featuring a tempura-fried mixed seafood rice roll capped by Japanese cucumber with raw seafood, avocado, and drizzled over with house-made Sriracha sweet soy. Indulge in Ginkyō’s exclusive rice crispies like the Uni, Caviar, Ikura, which brims with fresh Japanese seafood given a luxury flourish with caviar and edible gold flakes; or go for hearty mains like the Okonomi-Rosti ($32), a creative take on the classic okonomiyaki but with shredded potatoes and Hokkaido scallops as the base and topped with generous amounts of bonito flakes, mentaiko sauce, and shredded seaweed. Complement the food with a creative cocktail menu of east meets west, with drinks such as Blackout, which blends charcoal-infused shochu, Campari, and sweet vermouth; or the Ohh-Shancho, crafted with shiitake-infused kakubin Japanese whisky with subtle earthy undertones and a subtle hint of spice from the Sansho pepper.
