Rezeki di kuala selangor

I have been buying my seafood in either pasar pasir penambang or jetty bagan pasir for almost 2 years till I saw this...and made me stop on my track...

Oysters!!! Fresh oysters! At rm2.50 a piece we bought rm20 of those thinking the kids would just take a small bite or have one each at the most. We ask the seller to open the oyster for us but he was reluctant and just told us how to do it " lu cari itu lubang, pakai pisau masuk dlm lubang..kalau x bole lu ketuk tepi ni, kasi pecah" ok.......sound simple enough.
And  there were scallops as well. Bought a kilo of those.
Balik rumah...operasi memecah oyster...coz the hole was too small, no pisau can do the work.
At last...look at the size of those..irfan' s first reaction when I showed him the oyster was eiii gelinya....yucks..if your first encounter of oyster is by watching mr bean movie ( the one where he won a trip to france) then that reaction is expected. But we managed to persuade him to try a bite of the fresh oyster with a squeeze of lime and he said the taste was ok. The oyster was bigger than what you usually get in a hotel buffet and tasted much fresher. Tengok2 malam tu mintak papa bukak lagi satu oyster..dia nak makan.
The next night dinner we have the scallops and the rest of the oyster baked. Some with cheese and some with sambal.
Baked scallops with mozzarella and cheddar cheese
Oyster with sambal


Oyster with cheese...x cukup pulak...sampai kena ration. Next time have to buy more..now that the kids enjoy eating it too.
