Red Dragon Restaurant and Cooking Class

As a coeliac, beginning to feel the sting of defeat as I discovered Knorr stock cubes used willy-nilly with the abandon of a Cossack making a foray into Russian territory, the Red Dragon hove into view in the nick of time. I found them on some blog by another coeliac who had done all the hard graft long before my arrival. The options were limited for those of us that avoid the vile gluten but they were good and cheap - cheap for someone that is used to Singapore prices. The staff were friendly enough, the underlings were fearful upon the dreaded question - "Is this gluten free?" What? Yes? No? What's gluten? To be fair, it was on the menu but I am antsy about these things because I have been surprised in the past. The overlord knew of what he spoke and we all had a delightful meal. The expat crowd were either all coeliacs or (and this is more likely) were there for the rather good cocktails and a french fry that would bring an American to their knees - we can only dream of such magic with the more prosaic Singapore potato, but that's my peasant stock rearing its ugly head. Anyway - tip top if you're a coeliac and even better if you're not, I imagine. Have at it with no fear whatsoever.

I’m sitting here right now and just had to share how impressed I am with this place. While it might not be traditional Vietnamese, the food is absolutely delicious. As a bit of a foodie who usually gravitates toward street vendors, I’m l impressed. Everything here is perfectly prepared, well-seasoned, fresh, and very reasonably priced. They offer a variety of gluten-free options, and their gin and tonic combinations are fantastic. The happy hour until 6pm is a great bonus. I’ve been back three times and also ordered delivery, and every visit has been stellar. Don’t miss the carpaccio and roasted snapper - the duck and baos are exceptional as well.
