Red House Asian Kitchen in Scoresby is doing a good job in attracting diners to the restaurant with their tasty dishes and good service. This restaurant has only been opened for a couple of months yet when we visited them recently it was bustling with activity. I only heard about this place from a friend who had dined there recently. She told me that their Shanghai fried rice cakes were the best she had tasted!
On our visit, we tried their dinner menu and ordered steamed duck with monk vegetables (another funny translation from Chinese - it just means assorted veges) and one of the chef's specials of braised pork knuckle.
The dishes were smaller than the normal portions in other Chinese restaurants however prices were reasonable. They did not skimp on the duck meat nor the pork knuckle although my complaint was that there was not enough meat in the pork knuckle dish. Yes, I did expect lots of fat and tendon, but I did not expect no meat whatsoever.
Other than that, the dishes were delicious and well cooked in the Cantonese style. Although we did not receive complimentary soup as is the custom in other Chinese restaurants, we did receive complimentary prawn crackers, fruit and dessert.
Gaz reckons the friendly waiter who conspiringly told us not to save money for his boss, and to request seconds of the fruits and dessert if we wanted to, warrants us a second visit to this restaurant.
