Yumminess is...
Taiwanese panfried oyster cake or oyster omelets (it is better than it sounds!) from Kang Kang Food Court. (My Mom makes it better than anyone else in the world, though!)
Oh, and Lowfat Cottage Cheese & Pineapple.
Not in the same meal, though. (Although I did eat both of these on the same day (today)).
Here's a picture of the oyster dish I was talking about... with a recipe borrowed from the Tung-An House Fu-te Food Store:
Fried oyster cake
A genuine Taiwanese cuisine which you can easily make with Hsien Zi Wei's fried oyster cake powder [note from joz: this powder is basically sweet potato starch] at home as good taste as the one served at restaurant.
Cookery:
1. Stir 2 tbs of fried oyster cake powder in a bowl of 1/2 cold water, prepare.
2. Heat the oil on a pan, fry an egg and then add some oysters on it.
3. Stir the egg with a spoon, then add the mixing(step 1)on it.
4. Add some crowndaisy chrysanthemum or other vegetable, turn over to fry until the sauce is absorbed, serve.
5. Can add some condiment like chili sauce or bean sauce for better relish.

Mmmmm, that looks yummy. I had Dim Sum yesterday and it was so good, I love Chinese food.I can't say I've had the Fried Oyster Cake. Then next time I go shopping in Chinatown I'm going to look for it. Question: #1 doesn't say how much a bowl of 1/2 cold water is. 1/2 tsp, tbs, cup... gallon? lol

Posted by: yoshi! at April 11, 2005 09:08 AMI really like that dish.
I don't normally like oysters, so instead, I tell the waiter to substitute shrimp instead. :)

Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at April 11, 2005 01:53 PMi LOVE oyster cake!! i'm just too lazy to be cooking for myself though... then again, driving the 20 minutes to find a place that has the dish is annoying too. :P
Posted by: suki at April 12, 2005 12:14 AMI can't do oysters, how 'bout scallops?
I'd give it a try. I've learned to never judge a new food until I've tasted it.
