A photo of my favourite food taken by my friend. I stole this off his Facebook Photo Albumn.
I first knew the existence of this great dish when I went to Singapore for holiday. My family would always go to the food court and order this wonderful dish. In Singapore, people call this “O Neng” (which means Oyster Omelette in Hokkian dialect).
There are many variation of “O”, like “O Jian” (which means Fried Oyster) which is famous in Kuching, Malaysia. I would never pass to order this dish whenever I go to a restaurant in Kuching.
In Kuala Lumpur, this dish can be found at the food court as well, but rarer than in Singapore. I once found one at the nearby food court close to the place I studied and it was actually pretty expensive compared to other dishes.
I think this dish is famous as well in Thailand and I had the best “O Neng” in Bangkok. Unfortunately I was there only for a day. I would love to go back there again and “get fat” (if you know what I mean).
I, however am unable to find this in Australia, so I hade to made it myself (failed!). I would always take a look at the menu to find if this dish exists in Australia. So far I have no luck.
This dish also is not so famous in my home country.
Ok, I am seriously very hungry. I am feeling like Oyster now.
PS: I am not too sure where Oyster Omelette the photo is from. I reckon it’s from Thailand, hence the sweet chili sauce. I am not too sure since the money on the top left looks very similar to Malaysian currency money. I’ll get confirmation. Oh, it’s from Kuala Lumpur!
