LSEAAS - Chinese New Year 2012 Special "Lo Hei" Lunch Celebration
A very happy new year 2012! The LSEAAS is pleased to announce that our Chinese New Year "Lo Hei" Lunch Celebration is round the corner.

The lunch venue this year is in the private dining rooms (60pax capacity) of Red House Seafood Restaurant. Located in a quaint corner of the city centre, Red House at The Quayside is Robertson Quay's prime dining spot. Tucked snugly along the riverfront, diners can enjoy a lovely view whilst feasting on delicious seafood. The cosmopolitan and convivial feel of Red House at The Quayside is the result of the modern Chinese touches together with industrial design elements such as the use of exposed bricks, open ceilings and natural ventilation.

Venue:Red House Seafood, #01-14, The Quayside, 60 Robertson Quay, Singapore 238252
