Forgot to book a swanky restaurant for momma on Mother’s Day this Sunday? All the usual spots full to the rafters with folks celebrating their moms this Sunday? No problem, people. @fuleegroup has got you covered with THIRTEEN (yes, ONE THREE) outlets islandwide, and they have two sets, one for a gathering of 4-5 people at $108 nett, and at $98 nett for takeaways. The one I have the privilege of reviewing is the baller Set B, which will feed about 6-8 people for $208 nett, or $188 if you decide to do a takeaway.⠀

This dish is a bonafide Mother’s Day exclusive ladies & gentlemen. Yes, this here FuLee Platter is exclusive to Set B due to the intense labour of love involved in it’s construction. These lil sandwich triangles you see here are an intricate construction of squid paste, ham, egg and seaweed coated with a soda biscuit batter & deep fried to golden brown glory. These are the most sublime sandwiches you’ll ever find in Singapore, believe me folks.⠀
⠀
It’s most definitely a labour of love, as there are thirteen steps to make a single portion of this lovingly layered treat. The tremendously thin & stunningly crunchy batter gives way to a delightfully chewy layer of sotong (squid), which in turn conceals a core of egg (possibly omelette), ham & seaweed which enhances the salty satisfaction of this perfectly deep fried love triangle. In short, it’s undoubtedly umami & it’s an awesome appetiser.⠀
⠀
Top that deep fried deliciousness off with sliced squid and drizzled in a scintillatingly sour & spicy Thai inspired abalone flavoured sauce, and you’ve got a dish that starts to express the gratitude you’ve got for the number one woman in your life.⠀

Thanks for inviting me over, @esth3r_esth3r & @fuleegroup!
