ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of good food there, the best way to spend your chinese new year eh :)
Isaac Tan - Same here.. i got a bit pull back when wanted to buy the oyster .. afraid that it might not fresh n so on..

My dad just take it raw and he says that it is fresh...
So anything must have its first time ....
In d worst case i might do "fried o chien..."
