Darren AngRecently, we had the pleasure of dining at Seng House, a charming restaurant located at 214 Tanjong Katong Road, Singapore. Known for its Hainanese-inspired menu, Seng House offers a delightful blend of traditional flavours and modern culinary techniques. Here’s a recap of my experience and the dishes we savoured.
Ambiance
Upon entering Seng House, I was greeted by a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The restaurant features both indoor and alfresco dining options, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. The decor combines soothing white tones with Neptune green accents, creating a refreshing environment that invites relaxation.
The Dishes We Tried
We indulged in several standout dishes that truly showcased the restaurant’s culinary prowess:
Hainanese Pork Chop
Priced at $22.50, this dish was a highlight of our meal. The pork chop was tender and crispy, coated with a unique blend of cream crackers that added an irresistible crunch. It was served with a rich sauce that complemented the meat beautifully, making each bite a delightful experience.
Wat Dan Hor
This classic dish featured silky flat rice noodles topped with a luscious egg gravy. The noodles were perfectly cooked and absorbed the flavors of the gravy, creating a satisfying slurp-worthy experience. Wat Dan Hor is not just a meal; it’s comfort food at its best.
Crabmeat Carrot Cake
A twist on the traditional carrot cake, this dish was infused with fresh crab meat and served with a side of chili sauce for an extra kick. The combination of flavors was both savory and slightly sweet, making it a must-try for seafood lovers.
Cocktails to Complement the Meal
To enhance our dining experience, we ordered two cocktails:
Espresso Martini
This classic cocktail combined rich espresso with vodka for a refreshing pick-me-up that balanced well with our savory dishes.
Dark ‘n’ Stormy
A perfect blend of dark rum and ginger beer, this cocktail added a zesty touch to our meal, complementing the flavors of the food beautifully.
