I couldn’t take my eyes off the dish especially the purple flower that gives a vibrant colour of the palate.This is a chef special and it is advisable to order in advance.
King Prawn Vermicelli served in Coconut Shell – S$28.00 (per person)
Umami flavour broth which is slow-cooked with prawn. There is a sweetness taste in the broth and the coconut flesh absorbs the goodness , which I would suggest you to dig it and try towards the end. This is also chef special and it is advisable to order in advance.
