Making an oyster omelette
















8/31/2010
I took this photo at a oyster omelette place. It was $60 for a serving. It wasn't bad. Just not very filling. I usually order it with three to four extra eggs which brings the price up to around $100. In this picture the woman was teaching the young man how to make the omelette.

I asked about the process and she says it's very technical. She had to flip the egg at just the right time using just the right angle to make it taste the way it does. I think a lot of it is just talk, but she said she has been in business in the same spot for the past thirty one years. That's longer than I have been a live so maybe she is rigth about the technical aspects of making an oyster omelette.

Fresh Meat

This image might be disturbing to some, but to me it shows that the meat here is a lot fresher than other places. I'm used to buying frozen meats at the grocery store. It may look more sanitary, but I bet it's been in the freezer for months. I was waiting for one of the butchers to slaughter a live chicken so I could film it. It didn't happen so I left. Maybe next time.

Night Market

Here's a picture of some Chinese style sausages I saw on the streets. I was tempted to buy one, but was told that it's not sanitary to eat these out in the country side. I should reconsider because sometimes the meats in these sausages are questionable. I don't really mind though. Meat is meat.
