Finally took the trouble to try this much vaunted Fried Oyster Omelette stall in Jalan Besar. But at the end, I am not sure what the hype about this store was all about.

First contact was a let down for me cause lady owner said I arrived too early (6pm per their listed opening hours) and that she will only start serving at 6.10pm. Can I place order first? No! Because she cannot remember. Later I saw she uses a write down system to remember the orders. So she could have taken my order but chose not to. Fine. I came back in 10 mins to place my order. Within minutes I got my order.

My $8 oyster omelette came all chopped up and with many bits literally badly burnt and charred, tasting bitter. I like crispy oyster omelette but not burnt. We got about 8 mid sized oysters which was nice and the chilli was also on point, more tangy than spicy.

I doubt if I will ever learn to appreciate this type of oyster omelette so I’ll stick to my usual stalls.
