[CLOSED] Fat Lulu's

This Sunday will be Fat Lulu’s last day of operations at 297 River Valley Road. However, this isn’t goodbye as Chef Sameer and his business partners plan to regroup and reopen at a new location in the later part of the year. A little bird told me they have actually found a place they all like at a central location but final confirmation is pending a few factors to be sorted out.
The team plans to retain their Asian barbecue and plated desserts concept but with some tweaks. You can also be sure new dishes will be introduced by Chef Sameer. With his upcoming two-week holiday in India, I’m guessing he’s bound to get plenty of inspiration right from the start of his sabbatical.
Till we meet again.

A winning plate, Fatlulu's Mini Childhood comes highly recommended with the crowd-pleasing combination of hazelnut popsicle, dark chocolate cookie, and tangy raspberry granita! Loving the textures, I really enjoyed the bursting sweetness of the granita which seems to bring out the mild nuttiness of the popsicle as well.

Hazelnut popsicle, raspberry granita and a chocolate cookie - thumbs up for the plating here. Definitely a fun way to end off the meal with that popping candy hidden inside too.

This was my favourite dish of the night. There’s just something about that butter which we happily drowned our bread in. This was $9 but I would definitely order it again though!

This platter consists of almost everything on their menu including two desserts so it made sense to order this even though we were quite hesitant cause of the price. Overall, the grilled meats were quite decent but we didn’t think it was worth the price tag. It’s meant for 4pax but my group of 7 managed it well if you’re a small eater. Service was good though, very attentive which we appreciated!

Like a sweet party line, Fatlulu’s Desserts Pig Out ($65++) calls attention to their spirited dessert program with not one but 10 mini ones to share. Recommended for a group of 4, expect a good mix of light and heavier flavours. No one is the same and never a dull moment, I really enjoyed visual feast and each carried a pretty distinct profile as well.

Starting off with a bang, we had the Berries & White Chocolate, smooth white chocolate ice cream nicely balanced with lovely cassis granita, N2-froze cassis foam, and amazing elderflower infused strawberries. And in line we got “Usimarit”, which was a deconstructed tiramisu with a block of silky mascarpone panna cotta on coffee soaked sponge biscuits and kahlua granita. Pretty strong and intense in flavour. Hence to combat the bold coffee flavours, the refreshing Mini Childhood comes highly recommended with the crowd-pleasing combination of hazelnut popsicle, dark chocolate cookie, and tangy raspberry granita. For something even lighter, the seemingly simple and familiar Lemon Grass Jelly with calamansi sorbet and ginger flower was a pleasant change from the array. However, the unanimous favourite was the crusty Mocha Choux with the creamy decadent coffee cream and milk chocolate crisp top. The cocoa crumbles scattered around also adding a wonderful texture~ YASSS

So get a group of friends with a hearty sweet-tooth and indulge in a dessert pig out session!
