Besides perfect prawn noodles, @oneprawnnco also does ngoh hiang as their side hustle. If you’ve managed to rope in a dining partner, you’re in luck because you have enough party members to conquer the Tasting Platter ($8.50 before GST). Their prawn noods are downright divine, and their ngoh hiang is sufficiently competent enough to be a companion to the main event.⠀

As the name implies, the Tasting Platter is a smorgasbord of One Prawn & Co’s greatest hits. A carefully curated selection of classic pork ngoh hiang, crispy prawn cracker, seafood roll, fish cake, Crowd Pleaser Sotong Youtiao (their words, not mine), and fried beancurd, these Chinese fried fritters are a worthy complement to the stunning prawn noodles. My shock favourite was the sotong youtiao, with its perfect balance of bouncy chewiness from the squid paste, crisp from the deep fried youtiao (dough stick) that encases the paste, and the perfect balance of salty & sweet. Absolutely addictive, I tell ya hwat.⠀

The pork ngoh hiang was marvellously meaty & savoury with the abundance of ground pork within. Meanwhile, the seafood roll, fried beancurd (tau kwa) and house-made fishcake were decent and satisfied standards. The crazy crispy prawn cracker was excessively oily, but it was incredibly delicious. The greasy qualities were all too easy to overlook considering just how delicious it was, and each crunchy bite was an earnest appeal to excuse the oiliness.⠀
⠀
The perfectly piquant prawn noodles are more than enough reason to justify the expenditure & visit to @oneprawnnco, and the fried fritters are the sublimely superb icing on the cake. Seriously, at just eight bucks plus GST for a greatest hits compilation, the Tasting Platter offers unprecedented return on your investment.
