All 19 Prawn Dishes

Mango Prawn

Eminent Frog Porridge & Seafood

Geylang·$

SGD13.00

Fresh prawns with mango in a light, tangy sauce.

Tip: A less-ordered dish but worth trying as a change of pace from porridge. Pairs well with plain rice.

Live Stir-Fried Prawns

Sin Hoi Sai Seafood

Tiong Bahru·$$

SGD28.00

Plump live prawns wok-fried with garlic, ginger, and minimal sauce to preserve sweetness.

Tip: The freshness of the prawn is paramount here. Ask the server which prawn has just been delivered that day.

Teppanyaki Shrimp

Tatsu

Raffles Place·$$$

SGD64.00

Jumbo shrimp grilled with butter, garlic, and seasonal aromatics.

Tip: The shrimp is a perfect teppanyaki protein — cook time is short, the flash fry is dramatic, and the results are consistently excellent.

Prawn Cake (standalone)

A Noodle Story

Tanjong Pagar·$$

SGD3.00

Crispy potato-wrapped prawn cake sold as an individual snack.

Tip: If available separately, grab one or two to test the stall's quality before committing to a full bowl.

Stir-Fried Prawn Noodles

Tiong Bahru Market

Tiong Bahru·$

SGD5.50

Wok-fried egg noodles with large prawns, bean sprouts, and chives.

Tip: Watch the stall while they cook. The best prawn noodles have obvious wok hei — a charred aroma from high-heat cooking.

King Prawn with XO Sauce, Jerusalem Artichoke, and Mussel

Kimme

Chinatown·$$

SGD30.00

Large prawn cooked with pungent XO sauce, served with Jerusalem artichoke and mussel.

Tip: The XO sauce is what makes this dish. It's pungent and umami-rich — don't be shy with it.

A Noodle Story

Tanjong Pagar·$$

SGD14.00

Springy egg noodles in rich pork broth topped with sous-vide char siu, lava egg, and crispy prawn cakes.

Tip: Arrive 30 minutes before opening or after 8pm to minimize wait. The stall closes when the day's 200 bowls sell out, typically by 9:30pm or earlier.

Aka Ebi Foie Gras Sushi

Hakumai

Tanjong Pagar·$$$

SGD8.00

Giant sweet prawn topped with pan-seared foie gras.

Tip: This piece appears in most omakase sets and is non-negotiable — don't miss it. The foie gras elevates it beyond typical sushi.

Steamed Prawn Dumplings (Har Gow)

Hai Tien Lo

Marina Centre·$$

SGD12.50

Delicate wheat flour wrapper with plump whole prawn and bamboo shoot.

Tip: Order this first when you sit down — it's the benchmark dumpling, and the kitchen's quality on this dish reflects their entire philosophy.

P'tit L'ail: Chives Broth with Wok Hei Rice Noodles

Corner House

Botanic Gardens·$$$

SGD168.00

Aromatic chives broth with wok-hei perfumed rice noodles, scallops, and Carabinero prawns.

#1192% recommend

Singapore-Style Ramen (Signature)

A Noodle Story

Tanjong Pagar·$$

SGD16.00

Premium version with additional char siu and larger portions of toppings.

Tip: The Signature is noticeably more generous. For a hearty appetite or full lunch, this is the better value despite the higher price.

#1290% recommend

Har Gow with Prawn

Summer Pavilion

Marina Centre·$$$

SGD2.00

Translucent shrimp dumpling in delicate wrapper, served as individual pieces.

Tip: Order at least 4 pieces to get variety. At a Michelin restaurant, even the 'basics' are worth ordering and comparing to other places.

Charcoal-Roasted Tandoori Prawns

Firangi Superstar

Tanjong Pagar·$$$

SGD28.00

Large prawns marinated in yogurt and spices, roasted over charcoal.

Tip: The tandoori prawns demonstrate how traditional techniques can be elevated through refinement without losing authenticity.

#1688% recommend

Deep-Fried Cigar Rolls

Peach Blossoms

Marina Centre·$$$

SGD48.00

Crispy phyllo-wrapped rolls filled with black truffle, foie gras and prawn.

Tip: Eat this immediately when it arrives — the phyllo loses its crispness within minutes, and the moment of textural contrast is the point.

#1787% recommend

Salted Egg Prawn

Mellben Seafood

Ang Mo Kio·$$

SGD28.00

Crispy fried prawns coated in creamy salted egg yolk sauce with a sweet finish.

Tip: Balance the richness of salted egg prawn by ordering leafy greens like water spinach or kailan on the side.

#1886% recommend

Butter Cereal Prawns

Keng Eng Kee Seafood

Alexandra Village·$$

SGD26.00

Crispy fried prawns tossed in creamy butter and crunchy cereal flakes.

Tip: This is a KEK specialty. The cereal coating is unusual but works brilliantly—crispy, slightly sweet, addictive.

#1983% recommend

Grilled Prawns with Chili

Artemis Grill & Sky Bar

Raffles Place·$$$

SGD48.00

Jumbo sustainably-caught prawns grilled and tossed with garlic, chili, and parsley.
