22 Best Satay - Going for BBQ Prawns @ Newton Hawker Centre [Singapore] #newtonhawkercentre

While I am a lover for satay, the allure for seafood is much greater and the battle between meat and seafood eventually resulted in the choice for BBQ prawns at 22 Best Satay! 

Frankly, the recommendation came from the Greatest Kon and it also happened that Alex would always prefer barbecued prawns over chicken, mutton satay etc. This was evidenced in the used-to-be-frequent visits to Satay Jae Aeng in Bangkok! 

Like Satay Jae Aeng, the prawns were already deshelled, making it much easier for to enjoy the feast. Unlike Satay Jae Aeng, the prawns were much pricier at S$2.20 a stick!

While perfectly grilled without being burnt, the seasoning used did cover the original sweetness of the prawns, and I would require the dark spicy dip to enhance the flavour. Point was, the dip was too hot for my liking and I could only thank my mug of cold beer that helped to soothe the spiciness. 

Maybe next round, I should seriously consider going for their combo, which had a mix of chicken, mutton/beef and prawns! More to review, and more variety to check out from 22 Best Satay.
