Calf Liver

One of those nights where we needed quick food, we went to Stef's. It's slightly better than our average Singapore cafe, but nowhere near the memorable quality of our fine dining Italian restaurants. Stef's like, Italian fast food.

Service was excellent and friendly. But the food...well, let's just say it isn't of the quality I'm used to. My carbonara was a mushy mess that was kinda devoid of any character. But that's not the point. The point of the evening is, besides his half decent seafood spaghetti, the man ate this disgusting calf liver with bacon. EIOOOW.

He made me try a tiny piece. And I gagged. Oh that smell!!! It was so strong! YUCKS. I can't imagine how he could finish the whole plate and grinned at me still. The calf liver was just pan-fried with a light brown sauce. There weren't any spices added. The signature smell of liver came right through.

While eating, the man mused about how he used to eat calf liver done the Chinese style in dark soya sauce, ginger and shallots. (Don't look at me. I know what ingredients go into cooking it. But I can't cook.) It sounds like how the Chinese cook pork liver too. Done in the Chinese style or add some pepper and chillies, pork/calf liver might taste marginally better as the spices mask the distinctive stink of innards.

No matter what the cooking style is, I don't think I want to eat it!
