Prawning at ORTO

Charcoal grilled prawns at the same spot in orto after a prawning session. The meat was really fresh and succulent, although it was not easy to catch these prawns. Not going to rate this as this trip was more for the experience, as opposed to the grilled prawns.

affordable noodles, great place to catch up with friends !!

I mean what were we expecting, to catch a whole net of prawns?? Prawning is notoriously difficult to amateurs like us. So while the professionals opposite us were catching a prawn every 5 minutes, we congratulated ourselves on our tiny haul of 6 prawns after 2 hours with one prawning rod (the damage to our wallets was $30). We brought them home and it was cooked in a simple Chinese style: ginger, scallions, soya sauce and Shao Xing wine. I was surprised that the actual meat from the prawn is quite little as compared to the size of their heads. Perhaps they are better enjoyed skewered and charcoal grilled.
