When it comes to a culinary perfection, time is always of the essence. For Chef Gwyneth Ang and One Prawn & Co, time is exactly what it takes to produce their unparalleled offerings and to showcase her dedication to the craft.
As one of Singapore’s most popular local fare, prawn noodles are widely available and heavily consumed here. Their straightforward yet distinct components are not only familiar to us, they’ve also been compared, measured, and taken up in heated debates between friends and family far too commonly – there’s always some contention over which bowl of prawn noodles is superior in taste and authenticity, and where to find them.
However, one undisputed fact that we all agree on is the very fundamental importance of a prawn noodle’s broth. In her relentless pursuit for the perfect bowl of prawn noodles, Chef Gwyneth’s creation at One Prawn & Co is as close to mind-blowing as it gets.
Hitting all the right spots with perhaps the heartiest prawn noodle broth around, it is richer and more full-bodied than any other – the result of a decade-long endeavour. Picture a perfect prawn broth that sits beautifully between the flavours of traditional Penang Prawn Noodles and richness of Japanese Tonkotsu broth.
At One Prawn & Co, their prawn broth never stops boiling. Producing 100 litres of collagen-rich broth daily, their boilers are kept on a constant high, day and night, to extract flavours from over 48kg of prawn heads and pork bones. For over 20 hours each day, the broth is physically tended to, to ensure quality and smooth running of the entire process.
Their prawns are also handpicked and manually processed, selecting only the highest quality prawns before they go through peeling, rinsing, blending, and frying for every batch of broth produced.
A simple bowl of noodles swim in the rich, golden-hued broth to complete the heartwarming dish. At the restaurant, elevate your own prawn noodle experience by customising your bowl with a range of fresh condiments prepared in-house, then complement it with a variety of add-ons such as Pork Shabu slices and Chef Gwyneth’s handmade Tobiko Prawn Balls.
While you’re there, don’t forget to try their new Ngoh Hiang Roll and Handmade Fried Fishcake for a truly indulgent prawn noodle session filled with the richest flavours and tantalising textures.
