Penang Fried Oyster Omelette 檳城蠔煎

Fried Oyster Omelette at Seng Thor Coffee Shop (17 April 2011)


Penang Fried Oyster Omelette also known as Oh2 Cien1 (檳城蠔煎) is an oyster omelette dish often available at many hawker stalls and coffee shops in Penang. The omelette is made of a mixture of egg and starch to give it a gooey consistency. The best Penang fried oyster omelette uses fresh, succulent oyster, the bigger the better. Garnished with coriander or parsley, the omelette is served with a dip made of chilli sauce and garlic paste.

The Fried Oyster at Lebuhraya Jelutong Hawker Centre (6 October 2012)


The fried oyster at the Lebuhraya Jelutong Hawker Center, along Lebuhraya Jelutong, near the Jelutong Post Office, is one of my favourites. The stall used to be by the roadside, but disappeared for a while. Then later on I discover that it has moved into the food court itself. I like this one because the price is reasonable while the oysters are quite big and succulent.

Oyster Omelette, Kuta Bali Cafe, Paya Terubong (16 September 2012)


The oyster omelette at Kuta Bali Cafe is a big too wet. Also, there's more starch and egg than oyster. It's my one and only try there.

The fried oyster of Maga Restaurant, Perak Road (28 April 2013)


The fried oyster at Maga Restaurant at the junction of Perak Road and Van Praagh Road is quite good. I like the crispy edges of this omelette.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
