Hello! I’m back again for another
post. Today I will be recommending yet another delicacy that Singaporeans love
and that is… Oyster Omelette!
This delicacy consists of
an omelette mixed with small oysters. Starch is usually mixed into the egg
batter, giving it a thicker consistency. Oyster omelette or 蚝煎 (hao jian/orh luak) is the guilty pleasure of most Singaporeans.
Reason being: lots of oil are used to create the crispiness of the omelette.
Today, I will be recommending my favourite oyster omelette stall.
Address:
Simon Road Oyster Omelette
965 Upper Serangoon Road
Mee Sek Coffeeshop
4pm to 2am
Open every day except for Tuesdays

Why is this my favourite
stall, you ask? I remember the very first time I ate there; I was hooked on the
very first bite when I sank my teeth into the crispy omelette! I became the
stall’s fan almost immediately – so much so that I forget that the stall is
closed on Tuesdays. Sometimes, I would visit the stall on Tuesdays all giddy
with happiness that I was going to eat my favourite oyster omelette but imagine
my dismay when I realized that they were closed on Tuesdays.
After many trips there, I found
out that the stall owner had a unique way of cooking his oyster omelette. The
omelette needs to be fried for a long period of time in hot oil to get that
crispiness. The stall owner would tilt his pan so that the egg and mixture
would slowly cook while on the other side of his pan, he would prepare individual
portions and complete the dish. There is always a burst of fire when he adds
the oysters in. This is because when the juices from the oysters mix with the
oil, it causes the oil to sputter and catch fire. That gives the oysters a very…
smoky flavour – it’s just so delicious that words are unable to describe it,
you’ll just have to try it yourself!
Well, that’s it for today!
I hope all of you would go and try out this stall and comment if you enjoyed it!
Else, leave your comments telling me what your favourite oyster omelette stall
is. J

There's very few oyster omelettes that are good in Singapore in my opinion. Probably because I am a rather fussy eater for oyster omelettes. I personally hate the fishy taste & smell of oyster but the omelette is always so good I can't resist it. There was only once where I had a really good oyster omelette as the oyster was really good with almost no fishy taste. It was my favorite and definitely the best I have ever eaten! But sadly, I have no idea what stall it was from and I have never found back the same amazing oyster omelette. Hopefully your recommendations is as good as the taste I missed!
I really love oyster omelettes!! Especially the ones I ate in Taiwan(their oysters are super fresh!! ), but I know I can't compare them with the ones in Singapore. The most important thing is to have a nice chilli sauce to go along with the omelettes! I love it to an extend whereby I brought chilli sauce along on my trip to taiwan (cause taiwan people eat it with peanut sauce not with chilli sauce) so that I can eat my omelettes with chilli! Will definitely try the ones you've recommended, thanks dear! (:
