Crispy tasty bumble bees
August 8, 2007 6:27 PM Subscribe
What is the name and recipe if possible for the crispy black octopus I used to eat in Singapore when I was a child?
My family called them bees, because they looked like fried bumble bees (and I guess fried bees seem more appealing to eat for a kid than baby octopus). The most remarkable thing about them was thay they were sweet and crispy and dark.
I have tried googling, but without a name have had no joy.
A recipe would be great too, as I am wanting to perfect the dish for this summers family get together.

Best answer: Another note: the dish is definitely Chinese in origin, possibly Cantonese.
