One of my favourite dishes at any zhi char stall, but it’s definitely not easy to achieve a good balance between the perfectly fried omelette, and sweet but slightly salty chye poh.

My mom always says that chye poh that’s sweet and not salty is high quality. I’m not sure if that’s true but that’s how the chye poh is here and it’s amazing! There’s just enough chye poh bits inside to keep you hoping you’ll get some in the next bite but without overwhelming the rest of the omelette. And for the omelette texture, oh man, it was great! Slightly charred on the top, with a little bit of crispness, and a fluffy, pillowy soft interior. I felt like I was biting into a cotton candy cloud. We all loved this omelette!

My only gripe is that this was way too small. Maybe we should’ve ordered a large. Despite how it looks, note that the omelette is actually covering a mound of lettuce which soaks up the oil (and also gives it a lot more volume than it actually has). If you love chye poh omelettes, just go with a large. Trust me on this.
