Peppra Dining & Bar（活虾之家)

When it comes to seafood, freshness is key but Peppra Dining & Bar takes it to the next level. Specializing in Giant Fresh Water Prawns from Hsinchu, Taiwan, this hidden gem is the first in Singapore to offer these live prawns, freshly fished from the prawning area next to the bar at Riveria Prawning.

Although Peppra Dining & Bar and Riveria Prawning are managed by different owners, they offer a seamless experience for seafood lovers.

Patrons who enjoy prawning at Riveria can bring their fresh catch to Peppra Dining, where the chef will cook them to perfection for a service charge.

This adds an interactive element to the dining experience, whether you order straight from the menu or bring in your own prawns, you’re guaranteed a fresh and flavorful meal.

What makes the experience even more remarkable is their unique cooking method: the "Dog Mother Steel Pot," which oscillates during cooking to ensure even heat distribution and maximum flavor absorption. From the moment the prawns are caught to when they arrive at your table, every step is designed to deliver the freshest and most flavorful seafood experience.

Beyond its focus on live prawns and unique cooking techniques, Peppra Dining & Bar also integrates modern technology into its service. The restaurant employs a train system to deliver dishes directly to diners' tables, adding a touch of novelty and efficiency. This automated setup ensures that food arrives promptly while maintaining a seamless and interactive dining experience. Watching the dishes glide along the tracks adds an element of fun, making it not just a meal, but an experience to remember.

No visit to Peppra Dining & Bar is complete without ordering their Signature Pepper Prawns. From the name alone, it’s clear this dish is the star of the menu. The prawns are freshly cooked and enhanced with a blend of pepper ingredients that perfectly accentuate their natural sweetness. Each prawn is firm and plump, offering a satisfying texture that’s simply irresistible. It’s a dish that speaks for itself, needing no additional sauces or sides to shine.

For something with a zesty kick, the Lemon Prawns are another must-try at Peppra Dining & Bar. These live prawns are deep-fried to crispy perfection and then drenched in freshly squeezed lemon juice. The burst of citrus elevates the prawns' natural sweetness, while the spring onions add a refreshing crunch to every bite. It’s a vibrant dish that combines the richness of the prawns with the tangy brightness of lemon, creating a perfect balance of flavors.

Peppra Dining & Bar’s Sesame Oil Prawns are another well-executed dish that showcases their attention to detail. 

What's Cooking?

The prawns are delicately soaked in a fragrant combination of ginger and sesame oil, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat. The rich, savory essence of sesame oil perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the prawns, making it a dish that’s both comforting and indulgent.

If you’re a fan of garlic, the Garlicky Flavoured Prawns at Peppra Dining & Bar will not disappoint. True to its name, this dish is packed with bold garlic flavor, offering a satisfying punch in every bite. However, for those sensitive to spice, like myself, the dish can also pack a bit of heat. While the garlicky aroma and taste are delightful, be prepared for some extra kick that adds a fiery edge to the overall experience.

One of the standout features at Peppra Dining & Bar isn’t just the freshness or flavor of the prawns—it’s the way they are presented. For a truly eye-catching touch, some of the prawn dishes are served with the prawns hanging at the rim of the pot, creating a visually striking presentation. This not only adds a creative element to the meal but also allows diners to admire the size and freshness of the prawns before diving into the deliciousness. It's a fun and memorable way to enjoy your meal!

While seafood is the star of the show, no meal is complete without some greens to balance things out. At Peppra Dining & Bar, we added a side of garlic lettuce to our feast. The crisp, refreshing lettuce, sautéed with garlic, offered a light contrast to the rich, flavorful prawns. It was the perfect way to refresh our palates and add a healthy touch to the indulgent meal.

To round out our seafood feast, we opted for the Peppra Egg Fried Rice as our carbs. Though the ingredients were simple, it was a comforting and satisfying choice. The egg fried rice was perfectly cooked, with each grain of rice nicely separated, allowing the flavor to shine through. It’s the kind of dish that doesn’t need to be complicated to be delicious, and it paired perfectly with the rich, flavorful prawns.

After indulging in so many prawns, we couldn't resist trying the Black Pepper Crab at Peppra Dining & Bar, and it did not disappoint.
