Meal for Birthday

Wifey father is crazy for oysters,so both wifey and me decided to give him a surprise during his birthday. Instead of going for the hotels' seafood buffet which will cost us not less than $60 pax, we actually save the budget and have a special mean at home last evening. A combination of roasted chicken, foie gras (actually is duck liver, cheaper), with 1 and 1/2 dozen of fresh oysters.

We got the rock oysters from Culina @ Dempsey, it's extremely fresh and you can even taste the salty sea flavour, serve best with bit of lemon juice and tabasco, it's shiookk... $3.5 each.
This is the leftover shelf, I was busying shuck the oyster and forgot to take the picture
After happily buying the oysters, we realised we still short of the knife for shuck the oysters, and these are our tools...


Tabasco should heal my cough faster >_<

Pan fried foiegras served with sesame baguette from wifey exam's final product and with few lemon zest as topping. It's not as crispy as we imagined, still exploring the way to cook foie gras. We only cook 3 pieces as it just too oily and fatty. Package frozen duck liver in 6 pieces (325gm) @ $45.50

Roasting chicken in frenchzzzzzz style, when mentioning french style means BUTTER... lot lot of butter... It's a simple marination yet it taste heavenly! We marinated the chicken with garlic, butter, salt, pepper for 3 days, remember stuff the butter between the skin and meat, this will make the skin much more crispy after roasting.
This is my first time using the rotating function on my 小黑
Roast it for 45 mins in about 175'c and let it cool down for 10 mins, apply the sauce over the chicken, then continue to roast it for about 15 mins with 200'c.
For the sauce, heat up the sauce pan in medium fire, put in about 1/3 cup of soy sauce, after fragrant is out, pour in 1/3 cup of water, let it reduce to half then whisk in the butter, yes butter again. You can left some of the sauce to sprinkle over the chicken before serving. For the best taste and enjoyment, use your hand instead of fork, knife...
