It was all Rozita’s idea to drive all the way to the Portuguese Settlement in Malacca to have seafood and come back KL again. I had to go pee twice on the way because Ijam drove so fast and I got freaked. You know, some back seat no seatbelts? By 9.30pm, and we’re still not eating. I was so hungry that by the time the first dish came – the vege, I was already almost gulping my food. I don’t eat shellfish. So many people are crazy for oysters so I attempted to try it. With some squeezed lemon juice and some sambal asam, obediently under Rozita’s tutelage, I put the entire oyster in my mouth. I heard that some people just swallow it instead of chewing. I thought hey, no problem, if I could swallow pills, I could do this. Hell, no! The oyster lingered on my tongue touching my tonsil for a good 10 seconds as I contemplated in my head – Chew! Swallow! Chew! Swallow!
I chewed. An entire blast of metallic juice came tsunami in my mouth and I almost puked! As hard as I tried to swallow it, I spat it out. Ohhhhhhhhhh, I had chills and then goosebumps! Ewwwwwwww!!! Oysters suck! Rozita had me in video and she’s proud of it. To replace the wasted oyster, I consoled myself into ravaging the crabs and shrimps. Especially the crabs because I ate 4 and a half of them! Mmmmmm… Yummy… In the end, lesson learnt was – never be greedy. I am not feeling so good today… It was Rozita’s treat (lovely), and I won’t be anywhere near craving crabs again in the near future. Oysters are banned in this lifetime.
This is written 2 days after the seafood mania: I had bad diarrheoa and still having. Rozita and Ijam also. Must be the oysters. It had to be – EVIL!!!
