If you're a fan of traditional Asian home-style cooking, Red Lantern Seafood in Hougang really hits the spot. From my recent visit, the value and flavor balance are impressive—seven dishes for just $100 nett is a steal considering the portion sizes and quality. One thing I loved was the Claypot Drunken Prawn priced at only $12 (originally $32). It’s cooked fresh to order with herbs and a subtle wine aroma making it a comforting yet exciting dish. I highly recommend pairing it with the Basket Beancurd, which has a silky texture combined with crispy enoki mushrooms for contrast. For a uniquely local experience, the Hougang Avenue 8 outlet's exclusive Thai Style Fish Head is a must-try. Its spicy and tangy sauce awakens your palate and pairs wonderfully with rice. Don’t overlook the Golden Chicken – crispy on the outside, bursting with tender juice inside, and the Barbecued Pork Ribs glazed with a sweet-savory smoky red wine sauce that melts off the bone. These stand out as customer favorites. Besides the fantastic food, another highlight is the absence of GST and service charge, plus they accept CDC vouchers which make dining here even more budget-friendly. Whether it's a casual weekend dinner, a family celebration, or just a craving for hearty zichar flavors, Red Lantern Seafood delivers. Check out their various island-wide outlets for these deals through July and experience authentic home-cooked flavors without breaking the bank!
