Prawn Kadaif from 999.99 Five Nines – tiger prawn wrapped in thin deep fried noodles with red pepper sauce. The sauce was like a writhing baby girl from tomato and chilli parents, whilst elsewhere the noodles shattered loudly and dramatically in your mouth like a chandelier would if a XXL-sized…
Lemon parsley tiger prawn from East 8. Whilst the prawns were undeniably happily pregnant, the matrimony between oily butter and citrusy tang may cause the conservatives to clutch their pearls, whilst the price tag ($19) would likely inspire a goldfish eye effect. 3.5/5 East 8 10 Coleman Street #01-21/22, Grand…
Lychee prawn from Lin Rooftop Bar – chopped tiger prawns sautéed with garlic and stuffed in whole lychee, served on a bed of savoury tomato concasse sauce. The lychees wrap their angel wings around the happily garlicky prawns like a possessive crazy ex-girlfriend, positively smothering the prawns with sweet, sweet…
Prawn aglio olio (extra spicy) at Birdcage Bistro. The prawns probably just returned from Arendale/were hit by a Shiva summon or Blizzaga spell prior to entering the frying pan, whilst elsewhere the (chilli) seedy pasta were happily enjoying a lazy, limp Sunday. 3.4/5 Birdcage Bistro 312 Old Birdcage Walk #01-12…
Linguine allo Scoglio from Rise & Grind Coffee Co. – classic seafood pasta tossed in spicy tomato sauce. The spicy sauce provided a slight tingle without ever straying too far from the sidewalk, whilst elsewhere the flaky cheese bits were nasally efficient but ultimately paper tigers. 3.4/5 Rise & Grind…
Somen with lap cheong oil and tiger prawn at Kite. Essentially cold noodles positively drenched in an alluringly spicy curry powder-satay sauce hybrid, with ickle bouncy prawn curls for accompanying crunch. 4/5 Kite 53 Craig Road Singapore 089691
Mushroom & Prawn Aglio Olio from Two Tall Trees. The wet pasta, whose exit and towelling off after its peppery spice bath may have been premature, evoked a slight feel of Chinese cooking, whilst elsewhere the prawns browse the top posts on #igprawns wistfully, wondering if they can ever be…
Balukoo Wantons from Black Nut – buah keluak flesh, finely diced prawn, spring onion, ginger, garlic and homemade sambal chilli dip. The ever so slightly bitter, earthy and dry wantons craved for the black nuts which arrogantly stayed safely in their sac, but the shrimpy, spicy Nasi Lemak-esque chilli made…
Nori Tsukudani Spaghettini with King Prawn from Wild Rocket. Essentially an unexpectedly tantalising outcome of a torrid affair between aquatic flora and a passionate feisty fruit, with the firm pasta being the wavy vessel for the back and forth drama to play out. Elsewhere, the royal crustacean had a suitably…
