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.

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.

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.

It was the perfect way to refresh our palates and add a healthy touch to the indulgent meal.

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.
