    New World Park Food CourtNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490


    There are no doubt that there are plenty of fried oyster omelette in Penang. New World Park Food Court is one of them and many have agreed that it is certainly one of the best in the area. A thin layer of batter is used on top of fresh oysters, mixed and fried to crispy perfection. As compared to most, the oyster omelette at New World Park Food Court is slightly more charred and crispy. Some may call it burnt, but some will consider it texture and added flavour. However, despite the prolonged period of cooking, the oysters remain juicy and moist - which is a big plus. The homemade chilli on the side too is pretty good.

    Operated in a humble stall, Jelutong Post Office Hawker Centre's signature oyster omelette is well packed with plenty of pungent smelling oysters and a generous amount of egg fried to crispy and fluffy perfection. Despite the excessive frying, the oysters still retain a really moist and juicy interior, which bursts upon putting it in your mouth.

Instead, they are plump and succulent – two mouth-watering words that defined a tasty oyster omelette dish.

    While Kedai Kopi Seng Thor may have been known for its signature loh mee, the oyster omelette is equally popular. The omelette is deep-fried till golden brown perfection, with enough crisp around the edges. The oysters, in the meantime, are soft and fragrant upon every bite and the entire dish tastes even better when you dip it with chilli sauce!

    Seng Thor’s oyster omelette is clearly not for the faint-hearted - lots of oil is used.
