A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Tiger prawns are served in a cream sauce. This hot starter suits anyone who enjoys seafood with a soft, creamy accompaniment. Choose bread from the separate menu section if you would like to try the sauce with a bread crust as well.
Flavour and serving
The cream sauce brings the serving together. Try a prawn with a little sauce first, then add more to find your preferred level of creaminess.
While prawn popcorn is chosen for its coating, cream sauce is the main accompaniment here. That distinction matters when ordering two seafood starters. Taste a prawn before trying the bread, then the sauce separately, and finally the combination. This helps you appreciate the seafood and decide how much sauce you want in later bites, especially alongside other starters.
What to try alongside
The menu also has prawn risotto. It combines a rice base with bisque, while this dish focuses on prawns as a cream-sauce hot starter.
