Simon Road Oyster Omelette (CLOSED)

Located outside of Singapore’s central area, this store has been around for over 30 years and has moved around for a bit before returning to the same corner stall. It was founded by the late Lim Seng Hong who used to cook the dish with flair and some pyrotechnics. These days, his son Lim Poh Pin helms the pan and boasts the same techniques his father used. The wok is slightly tilted to drain the oil so the batter and egg can crisp up evenly before the oysters (perhaps the biggest you’ve seen) are added. Get your plate of this perfectly charred treat at the very same coffee shop where it all began.
