In this video, we headed down to Lim's Fried Oysters to eat a massive plate of Oyster Omelette. Lim's Fried Oysters is located at Berseh Food Centre, near Jalan Besar MRT station. Oyster omelette, also known as orh luak in Chinese dialect, is a traditionally Chinese dish brought over to Singapore by immigrants. It is a savoury dish with oysters tossed in eggs in the style of an omelette, with sweet potato starch added to make it thicker and crispier. It is usually accompanied with a chilli sauce on the side. Lim's Oysters is a family-run business that was passed down from father to son, who is the current chef, with over 50 years of operation.
For my serving, I ordered 20 plates worth (SGD$100), which were plated onto my giant plate. Garnished with coriander, it was speckled with thick, juicy oysters and looked tantalisingly good. The omelette was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, with a plump oyster present every other bite. Fried in lard, it was sinfully delicious with a visible pool of oil on my plate. The addition of the sour and slightly spicy chilli sauce, together with the fresh coriander, complemented the "heaviness" of the dish well. As always, with such a heavy, decadent dish, it became rather overwhelming towards the end. As a single serving, it would be a perfect and affordable treat for yourself during this Covid-19 period.
