8 Unique Lobster Dishes From $16.90 Nett That Are Not Lobster Prawn Mee

The Providore ’s Lobster Mac & Cheese ($25.50++) has been popular for quite a while. It’s not the kind of ooey gooey mac and cheese that you’ll find trending on Instagram, but it is pretty decent nonetheless. Creamy and savoury, the dish looks small but a portion is enough to fill up regular eaters. In it you will find pieces of lobster coated in rich cheese sauce and herbs. It’s a little on the dry side, especially when you compare it to typical mac and cheese, but worth a try for lobster lovers who are also crazy about cheese and carbs.

Lobster is no longer reserved for days you wanna splurge. Pop by these places for a piece of that savoury, umami crustacean! If you’re more of a dessert person, these unique lava cakes or unique souffles might interest you more. Alternatively, check out our lists of unique bak chor mee and unique dumplings !

  1. Lobster nasi lemak

    In all my 25 years of existence, I’ve never thought of combining lobster with a hawker dish, much less something as simple as nasi lemak. Thankfully, the good folks at Lawa Bintang are more creative than me, otherwise we won’t be able to enjoy this sumptuous Lobster Nasi Lemak ($22) . Covered with three types of cheese, the lobster here is seasoned with various herbs and easy to remove from its shell. Paired with fragrant basmati rice, an egg, and loads of spicy sambal, this is one meal worth travelling to the east side for. Check out our full review of Lawa Bintang !

  6. Lobster porridge

    Don’t judge this Signature Lobster Porridge ($10/100g) from Orchid Live Seafood by its looks. It’s more of a Teochew-style porridge than a Cantonese congee, which means you’ll get distinct grains in the flavourful soup. And flavourful the soup is, because every spoonful is packed with sweetness and umami savour. Another lobster dish to try here is Cream Cheese Boston Lobster ($70) , which features a whole lobster lying in a pool of butter, evaporated milk, and three different types of cheese.
