Note: An earlier issue with links redirection has been resolved. This is a re-post. Apologies for the inconvenience caused for those trying to read the recipe through rss feed.

A while ago, my friend woolly told me about the Bay Fisher brand of frozen oysters she bought from NTUC. A pack cost S$3.95 and the oysters are decent, juicy and not fishy. You can find it at Cold Storage too. Woolly featured a Oyster Omelet (蚝煎) recipe on her blog using these oysters and I hope to try out her yummy looking recipe in future. For now, to test out the oysters, I did a no-pride super quick stir-fry with garlic. I would say this is a quick and cheap fix for oyster lovers. Can’t wait to experiment with them to come up with more recipes.

I was reading Ju’s comments abt wiffy and woolly…LOL! I digress. Anyway, I prefer 蚝煎 cos it is drier dish as a whole. If you can make this, then you can have the famous TW street food – Or Ah Mee Sua? But I am not a fan. Kekekkeke
