Only in Singapore Can you Go out in a pair of Diors

.....and then end up prawning until 4am.

Except Singaporean style prawning involves going to a prawning centre with man made pools. It's undercover and there chairs to sit on, and of course, food and drink can be ordered. Rods and bait (fresh liver or live worm) is hired by the hour. (2.5 hours is priced around $29SING.) Reared fresh water prawns being thrown into the water every hour or two. Our first attempt saw us catch a miserable eight prawns between the four of us (expensive prawns at around $13 a piece if you add up all our entrance fees!) Our second attempt saw us catch a more impressive twenty-seven prawns. :)

With bbq pits available, we had the boys skewer the prawns alive, sprinkled them with salt and white pepper and then had them roasting over the hot coals.



I saw them twitching over the barbeque which was somewhat terrible. Poor prawns..... What a way to die...... They were delicious though.




On another note, we might bring along some wine and have drunken prawns next time :D
