Mama Shelter @ Killiney Rd - Indulgent Mama's Happy Meal At Half-Price, $39.90 for 2 pax

Mama Shelter Singapore, located along Killiney Road, marks the iconic French lifestyle brand’s first foray into Asia, having opened its doors in the final quarter of 2025. The brand adopts a playful and welcoming approach to hospitality, with signature concepts Mama Loves You and Mama Feeds You shaping the overall experience.

Mama’s Happy Meal

One of the easiest ways to get a taste of Mama’s hospitality is through Mama’s Happy Meal. Crafted as a playful, grown-up take on a childhood favourite, this set is currently available at a special half-price offer of $39.90 for 2 persons (U.P. $79.90). Each set comes with two mains, free-flow fries, two drinks, and a tin of caviar, for a fun touch of indulgence.

Beef Burger 4.5/5

For mains, we tried two handcrafted burgers from Mama’s kitchen. The Beef Burger features double Black Angus patties, smashed and caramelised for that juicy, lip-smacking flavour. While the burger is slightly smaller, it comes loaded with sweet caramelised onions and just the right amount of gherkins for acidity. The buns held everything well without being too dense.

Fish Burger 4.8/5

The Fish Burger, made with beer-battered red snapper and Mama’s tartare sauce, was equally enjoyable. The crust was light and airy, while the fillet remained firm, moist and flaky. While caviar would pair nicely with seafood, the burger stood well on its own, with the tangy tartare sauce bringing everything together. The free-flow skin-on fries were spot on, reminiscent of Belgian-style fries, and definitely easy to keep going back for.

Cucumber Martini, Espresso Martini

For drinks, you can choose from a curated selection of draft beers, gin and tonic, wines, or non-alcoholic options. We went with the signature cocktails: the Cucumber Martini and the Espresso Martini. Both were well balanced, especially the Espresso Martini, which I appreciated as many tend to be overly sweet. If you’re planning to linger, you can continue with free-flow fries alongside your next drink at an exclusive price of $9.90 when you extend the Happy Meal.

Nasi Lemak Arancini 3.5/5

Beyond the set, we also tried the Nasi Lemak Arancini ($18), which brings a local twist. They definitely got the flavour combination right, with coconut-infused rice and a punchy sambal to go with. Should the Arancini be shaped larger, more of the pearly, coconut-infused rice would come through.

Fresh Morel Risotto 4.8/5

The Fresh Morel Risotto ($38), a seasonal item, features sautéed morels, Parmigiano Reggiano, crisp and shaved black truffle. It was a well-executed dish, with a good balance between the rice and the ingredients, and flavours that were rich yet controlled, complementing each other without overpowering one another.

Sweet Belgian Waffles 4.5/5

We ended with the Sweet Belgian Waffles ($18). Loved the caramelised exterior and how it wasn’t overly sweet, making it a satisfying finish to the meal.

One Prawn Co @ New Bahru - A Modern Asian Seafood Restaurant That Challenges Traditional Flavour Pairings

From its humble beginnings as a hawker stall at Golden Mile Food Centre, One Prawn Co has undergone an impressive evolution under the bold vision of Chef Gwyneth Ang. After expanding into a dine-in space at Macpherson (later rebranded as Zhup Zhup), her adventurous culinary journey continues with a brand-new modern Asian seafood restaurant at Singapore’s latest lifestyle hotspot, New Bahru.

Fresh Ostra Regal Oysters and Lime Cheek 4.2/5

We started the meal with Fresh Ostra Regal Oysters ($36), which delivered sweet and briny flavours that filled the palate with the essence of the ocean. The lime cheek provided a subtle citrusy lift, enhancing the natural freshness of the oysters.

Beef Bulgogi and Bafun Uni 4.2/5

An unexpected yet harmonious pairing, the Beef Bulgogi and Bafun Uni ($24) was served atop a buttery, crispy toast. The rich umami flavours of the bulgogi and uni blended seamlessly, creating a bold, indulgent bite.

Seaweed Skate and Lime Crema 4.2/5

The Seaweed Skate ($12) was crispy on the exterior and moist inside, offering a meaty and satisfying bite. The lime crema added a refreshing zesty contrast, complementing the fish's natural flavours.

Dry-aged Hamachi, Kimchi, Puffed Rice 4.5/5

Though visually unassuming, this dish was a pleasant surprise. The tangy kimchi amplified the umami depth of the Dry-aged Hamachi ($26), while the puffed rice provided a light crunch, adding textural contrast to the dish.

Haricot Verts and Burrata 5/5

A highly recommended dish, the Haricot Verts and Burrata ($24) pairs sambal with burrata — an unexpected but genius combination. The spicy, umami-laden sambal beautifully complements the creamy, milky burrata. This dish was so good that I immediately recommended it to my friends as a must-order.

Coconut Chicken Broth, Prawns White Fungus 3/5

The Coconut Chicken Broth ($26) with prawns and white fungus fell short of expectations. The broth was too salty, overshadowing the sweetness of the coconut and chicken essence. That said, the fresh, perfectly cooked prawns were a highlight, boasting a crunchy and succulent bite.

Holy Haddock! - Signature Fish Burger 4.8/5

The star of the night was the Holy Haddock! – Signature Fish Burger ($24). A buttery toasted brioche bun sandwiched with a moist, flaky fish patty, elevated by a yuzu aioli that added a bright, citrusy touch. For an extra indulgence, diners can top up $75 for 30g of caviar, creating a next-level fish burger experience.

King Crab, Preserved Radish Butter, Green Chilli 4.2/5

The King Crab ($32 per 100g) was generously topped with preserved radish butter and green chilli, which beautifully complemented the sweetness of the crab meat. While the accompanying sourdough bread was a nice touch, there wasn't enough sauce to mop up, leaving us wishing for more of that flavorful buttery goodness.

Gindara, Seaweed Congee, Jujube 4/5

Instead of the crowd-favourite Lobster Poached Rice, we opted for the Gindara, Seaweed Congee ($20 per 100g), and Jujube. The smoky, crispy skin and fatty, flavourful flesh of the gindara were delightful. However, this dish is not recommended for children, as the fish contains many small bones. The smooth and creamy congee, infused with seaweed and jujube, added an extra layer of depth and comfort to the dish.

Tropical Fruits, Lime Mousse, Pavlova 4.2/5

To wrap up our meal, we indulged in the Pavlova with Tropical Fruits and Lime Mousse ($15). The light and airy pavlova was perfectly balanced — not overly sweet — with the tropical fruits adding a bright, juicy contrast. The lime mousse introduced a refreshing, zesty finish, making this a fantastic ending to the meal.

One Prawn Co's latest venture at New Bahru is an exciting fusion of Asian flavours with contemporary execution. Chef Gwyneth continues to push boundaries, offering creative dishes that challenge traditional flavour pairings while maintaining familiar comfort. The Haricot Verts and Burrata, Holy Haddock! Fish Burger and King Crab with Preserved Radish Butter are definite standouts, making this a must-visit for seafood lovers looking for something new and adventurous.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
