Where’s your favourite place to get your oyster omelette (or luak) fix? If you’re in Kovan, check out Simon Road Oyster Omelette at Hougang Street 21 (Kovan). They whip up the crispy version of this calorie indulging delight. Decided to try this after reading about this place for years.

The batter is fried for a long time that contributes to its very crispy exterior. But the inside remains reasonably starchy and gooey giving it a good balance overall. The oysters were plump and juicy and there was a good coating of starch. Within the dish you will get pockets of fluffy fried egg omelette which is an important element of the entire dish. Not to mention the chilli sauce is fresh, tangy and zesty.

I thought the batter would’ve been crispier based on what I read about this place previously. Perhaps it wasn’t the best day when I went but I’ll be open to trying them again.
