20 Best Oyster Omelette in Singapore to Abandon Your Diet For

20 Best Oyster Omelette in Singapore to Abandon Your Diet For

Oyster omelette, otherwise known locally as orh jian or orh luak, is a hawker dish consisting of potato starch, eggs and of course, oysters. The dish is pan-fried and usually further enhanced with a spicy chilli sauce with lime. Other Asian countries have their own variation of the dish, for example, in Taiwan you can find versions that are served with a ladle of sauce! Here in Singapore, shrimp can sometimes replace oysters, and there is also a version without the starch called hao dan, or oyster egg. While the dish might not be very IG-worthy and it doesn’t enjoy the same level of fame as char kway teow or carrot cake, for hawker aficionados there are few dishes less satisfying than a good plate of oyster omelette. Without further ado, here are the best oyster omelettes in Singapore!

Prefer crispier oyster omelettes instead? The Hougang Fried Oyster is starchy on the inside while delightfully crispy on the outside. The portions are also pretty huge and mega worth your money!

Huat Heng Fried Oyster

Listed in the Michelin Guide with a Michelin Plate, Huat Heng Fried Oyster leans towards the eggier side, and chilli is mixed into the batter.

Everything is chopped up with the spatula so you get more even, bite-sized pieces, and the sour chilli ties eve...
