Ah Chuan Fried Oyster Ommelette (Kim Keat Palm Market)

Among the most renowned stalls around, Ah Chuan and wife served for over 50 years, having since handed over the day-to-day running of the stall.

They're well regarded for their crisp yet chewy chunks of potato starch batter, fluffy chunks of egg, and juicy large Korean oysters, finished with crunchy parsley.
.
Seasoned with fish sauce, this carries bold smoky eggy savoury sweet salty briny flavour. A tad on the greasy side. The lime juice infused chili helped contrast nicely with its spicy sour zesty tangy kick.

We ordered a small plate of Oyster Omelette ($5) to try and at first glance, it looked like a textbook-perfect Orh Luak - generous amount of egg (we secretly counted about 5?) well-balanced with the batter, and garnished with parsley. The first few bites were shiok as there were a lot of eggs latched onto the batter. But after a few more mouthfuls, it got a bit jelak as it was greasy. It was hard to miss the layer of oil sitting underneath the Orh Luak.

Was a half an hour wait, so we went straight for the bigger $8 portion! 😂 It’s a similar style to Simon Road Oyster Omelette, with a good ratio of crispiness to gooeyness, but I kinda prefer Simon Road’s a touch more for it’s a bit more savoury. Oysters were fresh and came in a good number, and the chilli helped in lifting the flavours.

Heard that Ah Chuan Oyster’s opening hours are sometimes by luck, but when they are open, they have a steady queue. Aunty was very friendly, but you’ve got to be prepared to wait.

The orh luak ($5/$8) had a good blend of egginess and starchy chewiness, amidst gratifyingly crispy charred bits. It was moist but did not feel greasy at all.
-
The oysters were also juicy and plump, and the chili had a good amount of zest to cut through the heaviness.
-
Their opening hours are bit weird though (only a few hours during lunch time).

Saw a long queue there and true enough, discovered that this is a very tasty dish. It wasn't too wet nor too dry. The real deal is the sauce. Note that this is the slightly more crispy version. Up to individual tastes really but I guarantee you'll regret getting only that $5 portion to share

One of the better orh lua that I've tried so far!
