Food tasting

My partner and I recently had a 7-course Western-style omakase at One Prawn & Co.

We were lucky to be seated the chef’s table to see all the action. It was especially impressive watching Chef Gwyneth run her kitchen, demanding the highest standards from her brigade occasionally sending food back and also putting so much care into pushing out each course to match the pace of every individual table. I have no idea how she does it. Bloody brilliant honestly.

On to the food, the prawn toast with aioli was my personal favourite. It sounded like a simple boring dish, but it was so much more than that. It was packed with flavor and texture – springy sweet prawn, perfectly crispy toast, and pickled onions that added a fresh, sour edge. It hit every note: sweet, salty, sour, and crunchy.

The grilled jumbo tiger prawn was another standout. Smoky, juicy, and beautifully balanced with a light leek oil and scallions that gave it a subtle Asian twist without overpowering the seafood’s natural flavor and the smoky grill taste.

We also loved the 16-day dry-aged kingfish, served both on its own and with a tangy green goddess sauce. The fish was smooth and slightly nutty, and the sauce added a gentle heat that suited our Asian tastebuds well.

The surprise dessert at the end of the meal was a lovely final touch!

Verdict:
Perfect for seafood lovers who appreciate smoky flavors, fine technique, and an East-meets-West approach. We will definitely be back!
