5. Chef Dharshan Munidasa Unveils “Ultimate Hokkien Mee” at Ministry of Crab Singapore
Chef Dharshan Munidasa, renowned for his culinary expertise at Ministry of Crab, has unveiled his “Ultimate Hokkien Mee,” a dish born from a deep-seated personal connection to Singaporean cuisine. During his early career, his frequent travels between Sri Lanka and Japan fostered a love for Hokkien Mee, which he would savor before night flights. This cherished memory has now materialized into a unique culinary creation.
The “Ultimate Hokkien Mee” (S$75++) is a luxurious reimagining of the classic dish, centered around the prized Sri Lankan Giant Freshwater Prawn, or “Prawnzilla.” Munidasa’s dedication to purity and natural flavors is evident, as the dish is crafted without MSG, artificial seasoning, or pork lard.
A carefully perfected broth rich in umami, is extracted from a whole Prawnzilla weighing over 500g, incorporating the coveted prawn liver for an intense oceanic sweetness. The noodles, a blend of yellow noodles, thick and thin vermicelli, are wok-fried to achieve a robust “wok hei” and then simmered in the prawn broth. Crispy, deep-fried prawn bits are added just before serving, enhancing the texture and flavor.
Given the meticulous preparation, including using a large prawn and crafting of the rich broth, each order takes approximately 60 minutes to prepare. The dish launched exclusively at Ministry of Crab Singapore, inviting diners to experience Munidasa’s refined interpretation of Hokkien Mee, a testament to his culinary journey and commitment to showcasing the natural flavors of premium ingredients.
Ministry of Crab is located at Block 06 Dempsey Rd, Singapore 249683.
