| Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco |
I really love Oyster Station, and although many oyster lovers know it well, there are many who are oblivious to it's location. It's a tiny little hole in the wall on Bridges Street, just past Oolaa. With about 8 bar seats and perhaps 10 to 12 table seats, the open kitchen takes up much of the establishment.
It's become a staple favorite of a French girlfriend and myself for a quiet tête-à-tête over a light meal. The first time we ventured in was because Yardbird was full and we didn't want to wait the 45 minutes for a table. Next door we had spotted this little gem - the restaurant was full, so Manager Jesse sat us on a small, rickety table for two on the roadside pavement. There we were, with a gold-coloured bottle of prosecco and a dozen oysters, feasting like queens - it was such an unlikely situation and yet so typical of Hong Kong, where every now and then you discover amazing food and incredible ambiance in the least likely of places.

Jesse's selection of oysters for us, served with a classic cocktail sauce and also a cucumber sauce - quite refreshing! Extra shallots for the red vinegar was available on request
