Ah Chuan Fried Oyster Omelette 阿泉蠔煎 - One of the Best Orh Luak I've eaten!


蚝煎 pronounced as Hao Jian in Chinese, Orh Luak in Hokkien, is a fried gluey based flour mixed with Oysters.
The owner's been selling Fried Oysters in this hawker centre for more than 40 years. I wouldn’t know about this stall until someone tells me about it as they hardly operating for as less as 3 hours a day, starting only after noon lunch period and ending as early as 4 pm. So I'm only able to visit them on my off day.

Why such a short operating hours you ask? They are in retiring phase, just passing time doing what they have been doing - frying oyster omelette. During their operational hours, they were frying non-stop yet the quality was not compromised.

Starch is mixed into the egg, giving it a thick texture. When you bite a big portion of the omelette, the blend of egg spring onions and juicy oyster that burst in your mouth is really good.

The egg is fried till it's crispy yet fragrant and not too oily to the throat. 
If you prefer it with chilli, the chilli sauce here is well balanced and has the right amount of sourness to cut through the oil. Their chilli is sour enough to cut through the oil without covering the taste of the omelette, and a mild spicy kick that haunts you.

Every oyster is fat and juicy. The oysters are big, juicy and fresh and the texture of the dish is just perfect.
This is the best Fried Oyster Omelette I had. If you have craving for oyster omelette during lunch, this is the one stall that guarantees that calories were not wasted.
