Located at Duxton Hill is a restaurant that prawn-mise to be wild and provide a refreshing Asian-Fusion dining experience by serving an array of prawny dishes from starters to mains, and perhaps to cocktails in the future. Like itβs name suggests, @prawnnoodlebar , majority of their menu uses prawn as a key ingredient and they infused modernity into our favourite local prawn delights.
Their signature ππ«ππ°π§ ππ¨π¨ππ₯π ($16) is a little different from the prawn noodles that we are used to. The ππ«ππ°π§ ππ¨π¨ππ₯π ππ«π² was served with a hearty bowl of Japanese ramen and paired with lightly grilled tiger prawns and rolled pork belly. The infusion of Japanese elements into our local prawn noodle dish is just so brilliantly executed that youβd appreciate the elevated elements while still enjoying a hearty bowl of our favourite prawn noodle. Its accompanying serving of prawn broth deserves a special mention of its ownπ! The unassuming bowl of soup was surprisingly packed full of sweet prawn umami-ness! After 3 long days of simmering, itβs no wonder the soup packs such bold and complex flavors!
How can we forget about Hokkien Mee when weβre talking about prawns and noodles! Another interesting twist, the ππ¨π€ π π«π’ππ ππ«ππ°π§ ππ¨π¨ππ₯ππ¬ ($15) was served with linguine and topped with grilled prawns and squid. Putting the fascination aside, I personally feel the linguine werenβt able to absorb the flavors of wok-hei and broth, which are key factors of a good plate of Hokkien Mee. But Iβve got to say, their chilli is so good that it elevates the dish with a punchπ₯!
Marinated with prawn paste, their πππ« ππ‘ππ¨π§π πππ’ ($12) was served boneless with crisp skin and boast a juicy, tender and succulent centre. It was lip-smacking goodπto dip them into the accompanying sweet-sour peanut sauce. Other sides/bar bites include πππ₯π’ππ¨π«π§π’π ππ«ππ°π§π¬ and ππ«ππ°π§ ππππ¨π¬.
