Another foodie gathering brought us to One Prawn & Co, and while I first arrived thinking of classic prawn noodles and Ngoh Hiang, that assumption quickly proved wrong, in the best way possible.

By night, the mood shifts as the fire takes over. The woodfire grill comes alive, transforming familiar Asian flavours into something new and exciting. Each dish is guided by flame, capturing both memory and momentum in every charred edge and smoky aroma.

A meal full of pleasant surprises began with our picks from their BBT menu.
The High Roller’s Fruit Tea was a standout, crafted with the legendary Da Hong Pao oolong, its deep, roasted notes blended beautifully with fresh fruits and a light touch of honey-lemon. It’s fruit tea made for grown-ups.
For something visually enchanting, the Swee Chai Butterfly was a true showstopper. The vibrant butterfly pea tea swirled into shades of purple, pairing perfectly with pink guava, honey, and a refreshing soda fizz. Sweet, sparkling, and undeniably stunning.

The Cereal Sabai felt like childhood nostalgia taking a tropical vacation. A fragrant lemongrass brew forms the base, swirled with lush strawberry cream for a sweet, creamy lift. Topped with a playful crunch of fruity pebbles, it’s a little weird, a little wonderful and completely unforgettable.
The Mango Monsoon is pure, unadulterated mango madness. Their rich, house-made mango purée is blended with creamy milk, creating a velvety drink bursting with tropical sweetness. Loaded with mango boba that pop with each sip, it’s a full-on downpour of flavour, the kind you won’t want to escape from.

| Ceral Sabai & Mango Monsoon - $8 & $9 |
Presentation may look like a little gardening pot, but inside is a flavour bomb. These Brussels sprouts are deep-fried till crisp and nutty, then tossed with sweet lychee and a sharp apple cider vinaigrette. Served over a bed of cool, creamy aioli, it sounds wrong, but it absolutely tastes right.
 |
| Charred Sprouts & Lychee - $12 |
Their reimagined You Zhar Kueh with prawn paste is on a whole new level. Thick-cut sourdough replaces the usual dough fritter, loaded with prawn paste that's been electrified with smoky, charcoal-grilled kombu oil. Each piece is fried to a perfect, brutal crunch, while the accompanying aioli, dusted with togarashi, adds a gentle heat that completes the bite.
 |
| Smoky Kombu Prawn Toast - 18 |
Respect the process, this dry-aged Red Snapper is a stunner. Thinly sliced like a fish “carpaccio,” each piece is coated in a bright, zesty throwback sauce of soy, sesame, and lime. Pops of citrus and aromatic chive oil bring the whole dish to life. Raw, refined, and guaranteed to wake your palate right up.
 |
| Chinatown 95' Crudo - $22 |
They say it best — the Anti-Salad. It’s not about the greens; it’s about the ridiculously umami-packed dip made from a secret blend starring salted black bean dace. Served with a crisp romaine wedge for maximum scooping. Trust us on this one, it works.
 |
| The Anti-Salad - $18 |
Bang Bang Salmon Tartare brings a bold twist to a classic. Chopped raw salmon is drenched in their wicked “Bang Bang” sauce, a full-on flavour riot that’s sweet, spicy, and creamy all at once. It’s served with jet-black, house-fried squid ink sago crackers, making every scoop an addictive and unexpectedly delightful combination.
 |
| Bang Bang Salmon Tartare - $22 |
Here’s the answer to every childhood craving but all grown up. A thick halibut fillet, cloaked in a shatteringly crisp vodka batter, is tucked into a soft house-made brioche bun with melted cheddar and a bold, zesty yuzu tartare. It’s the fish burger you wish you grew up with, indulgent, nostalgic, and impossibly satisfying.
 |
| The Holy Halibut Burger - $26 |
Their tribute to Hokkaido’s iconic soup curry comes with even more depth and character. The soul-warming broth is slow-simmered with smoked garlic and secret aromatics, creating a complex blend of sweet, savoury, and smoky flavours.
 |
| Smoked Curry Udon - $22 |
It’s fully vegetarian by default, but you can elevate it further by adding a serving of crispy Chicken Karaage at $4.

We had something special off the menu, a unique replacement for their prawn bisque ramen, served with a side of crispy tempura. The rich broth, springy noodles, and well-balanced toppings made this bowl an instant favourite, earning nods of approval from everyone at the table.

The ramen came paired with a delightful tempura selection, featuring uniquely rectangular tempura ebi that immediately caught our attention. Light, crisp, and impressively non-greasy, each piece was fried to perfection. The clean crunch and flavour made it a satisfying complement to the hearty bowl, suiting our palates beautifully.

The Smoked Valrhona Caraïbe Chocolate Tart was a decadent finish to the meal, unapologetically dark with its 66% Valrhona chocolate ganache subtly infused with applewood smoke, echoing the warmth of the grill. Beneath the glossy surface lies a layer of hazelnut praline feuilletine, adding a satisfying, brutal crunch to every bite. Finished with crushed peanuts and a refreshing scoop of coconut sorbet, it masterfully balances richness with a cool, tropical lift.
 |
| Smoked Valrhona Caraibe Chocolate Tart - $12 |
The last item we had off the Social Sampler (4 pax) menu was the grand finale. This is the New York cheesecake you dream about: unapologetically dense, rich, and creamy, all resting on a classic buttery biscuit crust. Then comes the signature twist, the crème brûlée treatment. A glassy, torched-sugar top that cracks beautifully with each tap, giving you that perfect blend of caramelised crunch and velvety cheesecake indulgence.
 |
Creme Brulee Cheesecake - $9
|
A modern creation wrapped in a playful local twist, Smoked Ice Cream with Gula Melaka, Black Soy & Coffee Tuile, available exclusively on the dinner menu. Beneath the beautifully torched meringue sits a scoop of smoked ice cream infused with a gentle savoury depth from black soy, balanced by the caramel warmth of gula melaka.
 |
| "Kopitiam Smoke" - $18 |
Scattered coffee tuile adds an aromatic crunch that ties everything together. Nostalgic yet innovative, a dessert that reimagines local flavours in the most delightful way.

We were treated to one pleasant surprise after another with their lunch menu. I can’t wait to return for dinner and explore their dishes prepared over the woodfire grill.
