[Review] Oysters at Richard Haward's

There are quite a few oyster stalls at Borough Market but Richard Haward's appealed to me as it was on one side with an area reserved for customers.

It is definitely an advantage that they have some tables so that you can appreciate your oysters.
I like the way you are free to order any combination of oysters or as few as one to try.
There are three prices because you can buy them unopened, half opened or fully opened to eat there.

Opposite the oysters, there is the condiments area where they have red wine vinegar and white wine vinegar.

As I had already had lunch, I just had an oyster and a clam.
They are opened in front of you and not rinsed hence you can taste the sea water which is the delicious part.
Both were fresh and appetizing complemented by the delicious vinegar so I will definitely be back for more.

The only thing I didn't like was the odd shell fragments.
Hand disinfecting gel and tissues are also available.

[Nissin Cup Noodles] Rich Abalone & Oyster Stew Flavor

Tried Nissin Cup Noodles Rich Abalone & Oyster Stew Flavour which is part of their luxury range launched for Cup Noodle’s 45th anniversary.

The Rich Abalone & Oyster Stew Flavour tasted like noodles in a rich Chinese oyster sauce but nicer and it had pieces of oyster mushrooms and black fungas.

The thing I didn't like was how oily my lips were after eating it and the broth became like gel when it cooled down.

Other flavours in this series are: Luxury Shark Fin cupnoodle and Softshell Turtle cupnoodle which were both really good.

Japanese smoked oysters - snacks

I am not a fan of smoked food, but because they were oysters I bought a packet.

It is not often oysters are served as packaged snacks, the ones I have seen before are dried oysters, fresh oysters or cooked oysters.

 

The packet was interesting, there were two places on the packet where you can open it.

 

 

Anyway, when I tore open the packet, the smell of oyster was strong, it smelt of the dried oysters with a slight smoked aroma.

The texture of the oysters were soft and mushy and tasted similar to the cooked dried oysters in Chinese cooking.

 

 

Overall, they were quite nice and there are six oysters in a pack.

The next day I did not get diarrhea, so theyre quite safe to eat!

I have previously tried packaged snacks similar to these such as kidneys and gizzards made from China which gave me diarhea!!
