Oysters are a wonderful seafood. You can enjoy them in so many different ways. You can put them right on the grill. They cook up nicely in their own little package. You can enjoy them fried, or in a sandwich. Use them in sauces and stir fries Oysters have a wide array of uses. My favorite way to enjoy them is fresh and raw, right in the shell. The taste is almost indescribable. Wonderfully fresh with the taste of the ocean shining right through. The problem with these bivalves is the difficulty in getting them out of their shell.

According to Time Out Magazine , La Pizza is the Best Pizza in Beijing... Here is what  Lillian Chou told me: "Beijing has great pizza! La Pizza opened its second shop in the back corner of 3.3 Mall in Sanlitun in early 2010 and everyone should run to this light at the end of the tunnel. Giuseppe De staefano Exsecutive Chef from Naples City the Pizza Country and Luca Mania , the bright-eyed pizzaiolo from Sicily, is the delicious reason our tastebuds tingle with delight. Luca lives and breathes pizza and has tossed dough up in the air in Spain and with his uncle in New York City. Add to that a brick-domed oven from Italy that burns fruitwood to an infernal 400 C and some of the best mozzarella and ricotta made locally by an Italian formaggiaio.
