Rainbow House opens in the late afternoon, making it suited to dinner, family takeaway, and casual group meals rather than breakfast or lunch.
Menu Highlights
Rainbow House Combination
Spare ribs, sesame prawn toast, pork spring rolls, satay chicken, crispy wontons, and crispy seaweed create a varied starter for two. Its mix of crunchy and savory bites makes it ideal for sharing.
Crispy Aromatic Duck
Duck is served with pancakes, cucumber, spring onion, and hoisin sauce. Crisp skin, tender meat, and fresh accompaniments make this one of the menu’s most traditional sharing dishes.
Chicken Chow Mein
Soft noodles are wok-cooked with chicken for a savory, filling takeaway classic. Its approachable flavor and satisfying texture make it a dependable everyday choice.
Sweet & Sour Chicken
Chicken is coated in a bright sweet-and-tangy sauce for a familiar balance of richness and acidity. It is also featured in the restaurant’s set meals, making it a core menu favorite.
Crispy Shredded Beef in Peking Sauce
Thin pieces of beef are fried until crisp and coated in rich Peking-style sauce. Crunchy texture and sweet-savory flavor help this dish stand out from softer stir-fries.
Salt & Pepper Tofu
Tofu is seasoned with salt, pepper, and spice for a crisp exterior and tender center. It is one of the menu’s more flavorful vegetarian choices.
House Special Fried Rice
Rice is wok-fried with king prawns, beef, chicken, vegetables, and roast pork. The mix of proteins and textures makes it a particularly hearty all-in-one meal.
