Huat Heng Fried Oyster Review: $5 Michelin-Approved Oyster Omelette In Whampoa Makan Place

Mysterio ate at Huat Heng Fried Oyster

There’s only one item listed on the no-frills storefront menu: Fried Oyster Omelette in small ($5), medium ($8), or large ($10), and that's when you know its good, because its specialty is just fried oyster omelette AKA "Orh Luak".

Mysterio's idea of a good Fried Oyster Omelette must have a good balance of crispy, eggy edges, countered with just the right amount of starch, not too starchy or jelak, and hopefully not too greasy, but if it is then it's okay as long as it is not soaking in oil type. This stall Orh Luak fulfilled the criteria of it even though its is slightly greasy, but it is within the acceptable range

Huat Heng Fried Oyster Omelette oysters were delightfully fresh, sweet, and plump. You don’t get many oysters in the $5 portion, so it is recommended going for the $8 or $10 serving instead.

Something different about this stall is the tangy house-made chilli, which had punchy citrus notes to cut through the greasiness of the fried oyster omelette. It didn’t lean too sweet or spicy, accentuating the briny sweetness of the oyster, and savoury egg bits.

Verdict:

Mysterio rate it 3.5/5 stars

Chili: elevating the omelette’s flavours and counteracting the greasiness of the otherwise jelak dish

Wok Hei: Barely there, doesn't think that its mind-blowing good

Price: A bit pricy considering the number of oyster in $5 portion
