Awwww, I made this Grilled Seafood Kway Teow soup over the weekend and it was so so good that I am still salivating over it now. The sweet prawn-ey taste was very luscious, very much a replicate of our local style of prawn noodles soup and best of it all, I did not get thirsty after eating it. In fact, I didn’t even drank any water a few hours thereafter too and I didn’t realise it myself.
In fact, I find it pretty awesome to incorporate grilled prawns to the traditional style of prawns noodles soup, giving it a little twist from the norm. To add to that, I even had additional grilled scallops which somehow make the dish even more tempting. Grilled seafood goes well with pasta, but who knows, it turns out pretty decent in this local asian dish too !
I think the spices from Nomu saves a great deal of effort in attaining the rich and luscious prawn broth I was looking for. With a simple pork ribs broth that’s scattered with prawns shells, the soup broth was undoubtedly rich with prawn-ey sweetness which you can imagine it just from the reddish color of the soup itself. Of course with a few touches of the rest of the seasoning and one including the rainbow pepper, the soup was immensely filled with an aromatic flavour.
I couldn’t really decide whether I should have a dry or soup kway teow to go along, hence I’ve prepped for both. Yes, greedy me. LOL. I craved for the dried kway teow that’s tossed in a blend of chilli oil, soy sauces, etc and enjoying it with the grilled seafood and yet equally heart for the soup broth that’s so deliciously flavoured.
Other than the rainbow pepper and seafood and fish seasoning for this dish, Nomu also carries a huge varieties of spices and rubs and convenient baking kits which you can find them online from healthy gourmet SG and selected Fairprice outlets, namely Fairprice Finest and the hypermarts.
Hope everyone will enjoy this dish too ! Happy Tuesday !!
