I ordered the prawn bisque ramen and it was great! I have never tasted anything like this before. They gave 3 jumbo prawns that were thick, juicy and fresh. The soup had a very strong savory taste and the seaweed was a great addition. I finished the entire bowl of soup and it left me wanting more. The ramen noodles were springy and cooked to perfection. It was an open kitchen concept so you could see the chefs cooking in front of you. As for the chocolate tart dessert, it was nutty and came with ice cream but not overly sweet. It was bigger than expected so I would recommend sharing it. The staff were all very friendly and kind, and the restaurant had a chill and calming ambience.
I ordered the “Drown the rice”, which is a pao fan style dish, completed with 3 jumbo sized prawn, as well as the swee chai butterfly.
The rice was soaked in a rich broth and grain was absorbed with that intense crustacean umami. The texture remains slightly firm and not the soggy congee mush, providing a satisfying contrast to the broth. The prawns were gigantic and freshly prepared, and probably the juiciest I’ve ever had.
Went to One Prawn & Co. for lunch on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised with the hearty meal we were met with!
We tried their signature Prawn Bisque Ramen, Cold Mala Crack Noodles, “Dirty” Love Letter, Bang Bang Salmon Tartare, Charred Sprouts & Lychee, and their BBT drinks Dragon’s Breath Cooler & CoCo Cloud.
True to its reputation, the Prawn Bisque Ramen blew us away - the heartiness and depth of the broth, the bounce of the noodles, the textural pairings of the crispy shallots, soaked nori, bamboo shoots and of course the juicy, fresh, prawns all combined together to provide a truly comforting yet elevated dish. This is one that’s worth the cholesterol!
For the other main, the cold mala crack noodles provided a nice balance to the hot weather, and I appreciated that the spice level could be adjusted according to your own tastes. The tempura batter was also light and crispy enough to pair well with the mala sauce.
Another stand out dish was the Bang Bang Salmon Tartare - I really enjoyed the dressing the salmon was prepared in, it was a great appetiser, with a good savoury tanginess that whet the appetite for the mains.
I also really liked the Love Letter dish, the savoury umami mousse paired with the sweet crispy love letter was very unique, however, I did wish for a bigger portion for its price, and this is also one dish you’d want to eat the moment it’s served as I could see the love letter getting soggy after awhile.
Other two surprising items were the smoked ice cream with the cheesecake dessert (who knew ice cream with an uncanny bonito flake after taste would be so good!!) and the coco cloud drink (definitely mix the froth with the coconut juice to make it taste like a refreshing, light coconut ice cream milkshake!)
Overall, the service was really friendly, prompt and the atmosphere was comfortable and laid back. I could definitely see myself coming back for a comforting meal with friends or on a chill date on a day you’re ready for a big, warm, rich, meal.
PS. If you’re around - look out for all the hidden rubber duckies around the restaurant!! We found 6, but have a feeling there may be more hehe
I highly recommend their signature prawn ramen dish. The broth is super hearty and you can tell they really boiled it for a long time! They are also pretty generous and we got 3 pretty large prawns in the bowl~
Across all dishes, the ingredients tasted very fresh, and the flavour profiles are all well balanced.
Also keep an eye out for the cute rubber ducks they have stashed around the restaurant (we found six).
Enjoyed my lunch at One Prawn & Co, tried the dry-aged snapper, prawn bisque ramen, and smoky beans with burrata. Nice ambience and great food!
one of the best prawn bisque evaa
