Another friday creeps up on us. Not that it's a bad thing of course. But once again we are wondering where is a good place to hang out. Of course my sister only has 2 favourite places - Dempsey or Mezza9. So we ended up at RedDot Brewhouse.
Special note to budding aspiring Singaporean restaurant owners. Dinner by candlelight or NO LIGHT, is soooo yesterday!!!! I mean clearly the ambience and theme scream: "come hang out with your friends / buds/ /family / colleagues with a funky home-made concocted beer (look out for the one they claim can cure AIDS) or 2 at our cool alfresco bistro and grill!" And they lay out nice tables clearly meant to seat more then 2 romantic lovebirds. SO what is with the dinner by mini candlelight?! I can't see my dining partners, let alone what we are eating. It's soo irritating. Plus, its bad for the photos. So if the pictures look awful, it's not my fault.
The grubs your typically expected fare found in most pubs. Chicken wings, deep fried seafood platters and potato balls. The bbq and grill station also offered sausages, wagyu beef steaks and fresh seafood on the grill so that was a nice change. The chicken wings were quite yummy but the seafood platter was a little greasy and boring.
The grilled platter we ordered was also rather disappointing. My scallop tasted gritty and the steak was bad. Probably the only thing the boys finished was the bed of roasted greens and bell peppers... you know, they hardly get their vegetables with me and L anti-green.
The only thing worth trying other then the chicken wings, would be the potato cheese balls. They were crisp on the outside, warm and marsh potato on the inside. The slight cheesy filling was yummy. I would suggest coming here for bar snacks and drinks, but if you are intending to have dinner, and a good one at that, try Samy's next door - cheaper and mostly better. If you are planning to score for that big date - definitely start looking elsewhere.
