Oysters with Bean Sauce (Taucheo)

December 1, 2007 · 11 comments

in Food Porn, Malaysian Food

Plump, juicy, succulent, perfectly cooked, soft, smooth, and absolutely DELICIOUS.

Prepared with the simplest of ingredients–fermented bean paste (taucheo), ginger, scallion, red chilies–this dish is a gem…

Where?

Goh Huat Seng Restaurant (AKA my favorite Chinese restaurant in Penang)
59A Lebuh Kimberly
10100 Penang
Malaysia
Tel: (6)04-2615811, (6)04-2615646

Recipe?

Yes, I do know how to make this dish, but where do I find fresh baby oysters that won’t cost me US$2 per oyster?! And no, those giant alien-like-shell-on oysters at Asian supermarkets in the United States won’t work. If you know where to find affordable (fresh) baby oysters, please let me know!
