Oysters are most often experienced through their cool temperature, delicate texture, and distinctive salinity. Changing the temperature also changes the way we perceive them. The warmth of the tempura softens the initial impression of the sea, revealing greater depth while making the oyster's texture more pronounced.
The crisp coating does not conceal the oyster but offers a different perspective on it. After the initial contrast comes its familiar minerality, while salicornia, with its natural salinity, freshness, and crisp texture, further enhances the dish's maritime character.
It is a small bite with a carefully considered progression of flavours and textures, moving from warmth and crispness to softness, salinity, and the unmistakable taste of Lim Bay.
