I was craving for a good oyster omelette and decided to head to one of my favourites, Simon Road Oyster Omelette. A quick google search revealed that the stall is no longer along Simon road, but at its new location at Upper Boon Keng Market.
At the helm is Lin Bao Ping, 47, who took over the business from his late father. Owing his skills at the stove to his father, Bao Ping has continued his father’s legacy by sticking to his time-tested recipe, which he still refers to every time he prepares the batter. I was curious to learn how Bao Ping prepares the oyster omelette, which is known to be one of the crispiest around. I peered into the stall as my plate was being prepared and realized that the batter was being fried for an extended period of time. I would later find out from Bao Ping that this was an important step in making the omelette extra crispy.
True to its reputation, the crisp of the omelette was undeniable. Fluffy and spongy egg, crisp batter, plump oysters — what more can one ask for?. At this point, I had my dining partner pass me all of her oysters because she only eats the egg in an oyster omelette – comment below if you are like that too!
Cooked by a skilful master who knows how to control the fire, the oyster omelette was blessed with an appetite-whetting smoky fragrance. The creaminess and brininess of the oyster complemented the egg and starch perfectly.
Of course, how can I forget about the chilli which plays an extremely important role in every plate of oyster omelette? The zesty chilli sauce made the already addictive plate of omelette even more addictive. We couldn’t get enough of it!
Fans of Simon Road Oyster Omelette may have been misinformed that they were moving to 210 Hougang Street 21. Due to a last-minute decision, they have moved to their current location at Upper Boon Keng Market instead. If you have not had a good oyster omelette in a while, it is time to visit them!
