And now the last main of the night, @cherki_sg coconut prawn linguine ($23++) was by far the least impressive of them all. The strands of linguine were coated in a lemongrass coconut cream, and served with five or six poached prawns. That’s really all there is to it.⠀

The coconut prawn linguine was far too simple, and desperately required a fourth or even fifth element. The addition of blanched beansprouts would add a nice textural contrast, which this dish was sorely lacking. The stunningly fresh prawns were sweet and incredibly snappy to the bite, but were ultimately pretty soft. The sauce failed to impress, as it was just basically a mouthful of coconut cream with a hint of saltiness. Not entirely sure how to glam it up Peranakan style, but it defo needs a glow up.⠀

The linguine was definitely undercooked. Oddly enough, the laksa linguine we had was cooked just fine, but this serving of linguine was under. Seems like a consistency problem with the kitchen, but I’d like to believe the consistency is a one off thing. Still, pretty hard to get upset over this dish, as we did get it as a 1-for-1 pasta with #burpplebeyond.
