Hae, Prawn-themed restaurant!? You heard it right.

Prawn Noodle Bar serves up a modern rendition of prawn noodles, as well as everything else prawn-related.

Like its name suggests, the majority of their dishes uses prawn as a key ingredient in cooking.

The fusion restaurant is located at Duxton Hill, near well-known coffee haunts like Five Oars Coffee Roasters and Parallel Coffee Roasters.

Upon entering the place, I was rather entertained by its neon signage which says “Nice 虾“.

It could either mean delicious prawns, or perhaps a more local slang of us emphasizing that the food is really nice sia. How apt.

Their signature Prawn Noodle ($21) comes in Dry or Soup version.

The Dry bowl was served with a hearty bowl of noodles tossed in fried shallot and pork lard, with lightly grilled king prawns and rolled pork belly.

While I generally like the scented aroma of fried shallot and pork lard in dry noodles, I felt that the chilli could use a bit more oomph to further elevate its taste profile.

Its accompanying serving of prawn broth, which I presume would be same used for the soup version, was a head-turner.

Despite the texture resembled more of a light soup, it was surprisingly packed filled with sweet umami-ness of prawns.

Legit good stuff.

Moving on from their signature hae mee, other interesting prawn-related dishes are such as Prawn Laksa Risotto ($20), Wok Hei Prawn Noodles ($22), Ebi Burger ($21) and Prawnster Roll ($22).

I was also highly recommended to their sides like Har Cheong Gai ($13). Okay, not prawn but still they use prawn paste to marinate chicken.

When served, a whiff of its alluring prawn paste aroma could be detected even before I dig in.

What appealed to me was its har cheong flavour which has infused thoroughly into the juicy chicken meat.

I absolutely adore Wu Xiang, or Five Spices Platter ($14) and theirs came with an assortment of deep-fried prawn fritters, battered fish fillet, pork roll and spring roll, served with chilli sauce.

The staff did mention that they prepared all the ingredients in-house.
