Let's Eat: At Red Lion, a chef from Singapore makes the chicken rice and ribs of his childhood →

Jeff Cui was cooking food from his native Singapore for friends of both Asian and American descent at a Chinese New Year celebration when they convinced him to share those dishes with the public. 

Cui and his wife, Jessica, own Red Lion Singapore Grill & Japanese Cuisine on Cottage Grove Road, which opened about two months ago. They plan to draw customers in with foods they know while slowly introducing the dishes of Singapore as the restaurant gains a customer base.
