Can’t decide between oyster omelette (or luak) or pasta? Try Relish’s Roketto Oyster Omelette Spaghettini ($22.80+). Having seen this making its rounds on Instagram, I was determined to give this dish a try.

Imagine the combination of fresh oysters, omelette and spicy hae bee hiam (dried shrimp sambal) in a pasta dish. I was truly taken away by this.

The hae bee hiam was indeed very spicy (especially for those who can’t handle chilli so well) and had strong umami flavour, but it didn’t challenge my taste buds in any way.

There’s a good amount of egg batter and fresh, plump oysters in the dish. I can imagine having this when dining in. The or luak batter would’ve been so crispy.

It’s a wonderful spin on the timeless East Asian classic and a testament of how good Mod-Sin cuisine can be. Purists may balk at the idea but they may change their mind after eating this.
