Foodgasm #1 : Lobster Love
Posted by Ling on December 21, 2011
I only get to eat lobsters at weddings. Chinese weddings, may I add. I recently attended a good friend’s wedding which had a lunch reception. The food was good but the lobster stole the show!!! And boy oh boy oh boy, my eyes enlarged into saucers when I realised that we would all be getting half a lobster each!!!
The lobster was deep fried in a light flour coating so I even chowed down some of its crispy lobster-licious shell. It was cooked in a traditional ginger and spring onion sauce with the most delightful flavours. Yes, the first bite was a foodgasm (AKA food orgasm). My taste buds were doing a VERY happy dance!!!!
The noodles had that lovely bite and soaked up all the fragrant lobster and ginger sauce. I DIE!!!
And wait for this… My Husband is allergic to crustaceans so I got to pack his share into a wee box and I ate it that night for dinner AND it still tasted just as good after zapping it in the microwave!
Any Chinese readers getting married in Melbourne sometime soon? Please invite me to your wedding so I can savour the lobster. Ahem!
What’s a recent food which has given you a foodgasm?

@Ling, maybe not dog. but! if i didn’t have my allergies, i wouldn’t have to ask if there were any sauces that even have a little bit of fish sauce or shellfish in it T^T *sigh*
