Mussel omelette

[chickenfeet]

Our local Chinese supermarket, T & T, currently has an Asian style outdoor night market going on in the parking lot. As one would expect it's mostly food vendors. We wandered down to take a look. There was seriously smelly smelly tofu, the usual range of "thing on stick", very odd looking BBQ whelk and something described as a "mussel omelette". We tried it despite it being one of the least appetising looking things I have ever put in my mouth. The "omelette" was made from sorched lettuce, mussels, eggs and a sort of sticky, glutinous batter, probably rice based. It was topped off with a lot of a bright pink, mildly chilli flavoured sauce. The whole thing looked like it had been run up by Baldrick on an off day.

It tasted OK if rather unremarkable and I wouldn't cross the street to eat another. We did have some very tasty northern Chinese style lamb on skewers though.

The 'mussel omelette' sounds like something I'd take a pass on, and I've been known to eat some disgusting-looking things! :-) But, hey, lamb in a Chinese style on skewers sounds tastylicious!!!
