After the satisfying dinner of fresh seafood at the back alley, we walked along Jalan Bunga Raya for another well-known oyster omelette (蚵煎,pronounced as Oh Chien in Hokkien Language) among the locals for generations.
Located in Medan Makan Boon Leong, this stall can be easily
spotted with crowd constantly waiting for this delicacy. It only operates from 8pm onwards and do
expect a long queue with stuffy hot weather.
This famous delicacy comes in RM6 per packet, not cheap
though.
Each round of cooking takes around 10 minutes and can only
prepare up to 6 servings.
Imagine our
expression when there are more than 20 orders ahead.
The lady beside will then pack according to the orders.
It will then garnish with coriander leaves, with the option
of dry chilies.
We have chosen to dine in the coffee shop just next to it,
hoping to have it while still hot.
Looks delicious, but taste ok only. The oysters were small,
starchy with the amount of flour being poured inside.
Dry chilies were spicy,
but nothing more than that, no fragrance at all.
Skip this if you are in town, not worth the time.
Another overrated Malacca food.
Shall
share the best oyster omelette I’ve ever had in Penang, not so soon with all
the backlogs though. :)
