Seafood themed 8 course meal that was just wonderful throughout! I had their seafood themed 8 course meal that was an such incredible experience every dish.
Starting off with the oyster, we ordered it grilled but there was an option of raw also. It came with a slice of lime, for you to squeeze on your own preferred amount. The sauce was sweet, savoury, sour and paired off really well with the umami from the oyster. Really whetted my appetite right from the get go!
The prawn toast was the best rendition I have had. The bread was really crispy but not greasy, the prawn paste had good 'Q' texture and flavour, and the fried sesame added some crisp and a little sesame fragrance to round out the dish. It was a really remarkable dish and I found myself wanting seconds!
The jumbo prawns was so plump, juicy, tasted so fresh and amazing when paired with the sauce. I think it was prawn or lobster bisque based sauce and it just amplifies the prawnness to the max! Every bite was just so satisfying and with five huge jumbo prawns the portion was quite filling. I would have licked the plate clean if not for the fact that I was seated in front of the chefs. I could see why the restaurant is named 'one prawn & co', their prawn dishes are just so remarkable!
The dessert was also incredible to end with. Burnt toast icecream with banana crumbs and mint leaves. Ice cream was rich and creamy, with crispy thin wafers to support it, like a super atas ice cream cart wafer sandwich. Brown banana crumbs give further complexity, texture and fragrance to the icecream. A mint leaf is added on to the end of each sandwich, which brings a minty, refreshing scent to the last bite. This lightens the dish so you get the pleasant finish from the dessert but not feel cloying from the rich creamy sweet icecream. Just amazing.
I received a card from the chef owner herself, where she talked about her vision for the food. The vision really carried through the course meal, the bounties of the sea paired with the meticulous craft of the chefs really brought a transformative experience for this dinner. Just a 10/10 experience where the staff, chef, and food impressed me in ways I did not know before.
I also highly recommend sitting at the counter, you do not have to interact with the chefs if you want, but you get to see their craft upfront and that is such an experience! The visuals and smells of the different kinds of food being cooked is simply too tantalising. My mouth could not stop watering and even though the 8 course meal was satisfying, I was really tempted to try all the other kinds of delicious foods as they were prepared (sourdough bread, lobster soup, steaks, just looked and smelled so good!)
