My friend once treated my family at this old but extremely pricey coffee shop in Geylang. This run-down coffee shop actually accepts credit cards, so you can imagine what kind of prices they're charging at. Their out-of-this-world Crab Beehoon was about S$80 a plate, but I must admit it was really good!
I found these beautiful butterfly prawns at this coffee shop & went home to experiment cutting & decorating it after that. The pattern is nice especially when you've guests.
