This stall in Hougang is perhaps one of the hidden gems of Singapore hawkers. In my opinion, this husband and wife pair serve one of the best orh luah (fried oyster omelette; 蚝煎) around. It has everything that makes orh luat so sinful, yet delightful, to eat - crispy bits of starch as well as chewy parts, generous portions of eggs and of course, the most important ingredients, the big, juicy oysters. The only real problem I have with this stall is the consistency.
Orh luah (Fried oyster omelette) - $3
Thankfully, I went on a good day, with the large, juicy oysters and crispy portions of starch. The garlic & chilli mix was a perfect mix of sweet and sour.
The char kway teow here is fried local style, which is a wetter, sweeter version with dark soy sauce.
Char kway teow (Fried kway teow) - $2.50
The char kway teow was not as good as the previous times that I've eaten. It was a little on the bland side, and there wasn't that nice burnt taste (called wok hei). Still, it was a generous portion, and better than the average char kway teow around.
This is still my favourite stall for orh luah. And since I'm there already, I'll order the char kway teow as well, making it a very, very unhealthy meal. But very, very satisfying indeed.
Please note that the stall will be closed from mid-October, and will reopen from 1st November at Blk 435A Hougang Avenue 8 (map).
