How oyster omelette (or luak) is fried (蠔蛋, 蠔煎) (Newton, Singapore street food)

[@ernestkj]

Dear people, it seems to be oily but if he doesn't add in that much oil the egg mixtures won't turned up as fragrant. if u notice at the end after serving everything from the pan, there's still oil left. not everything goes into the plate la. And that's his first fry with a clean pan also. If u still find it oily after my explanation, reduce the amount of oyster omelette u eat la. Chill, people!

[@hazeroth]

This works for me - the ambient sounds (the roar of the gas fire, the sizzle, the clanging of the ladle, order-taking, plating etc) is calming and comforting since these are so much the sounds of my childhood. Thank you Greg and the friendly stall worker.

[@extravagantduck_]

Wow I had no idea how much oil is used in this

[@sithukyaw9019]

Boiling in oil

[@wnose]

LOL, the omelette is doing the backstroke in oil

[@minglim70]

Just by watching this video, my cholesterol shoots sky hight..😬

[@fauxmanchu8094]

The generous amount of oil is what makes the egg/starch mix crispy. Looks delicious and better for you than carcinogenic pizzas.

[@GregoryLeow]

When I did the vlog, I shot a lot of footage of Hup Kee Fried Oyster Omelette 合記炒蠔煎 's 2nd generation owner Issac Lau frying up batches of oyster omelette so I thought I'd show the entire cooking process of how or luak is cooked! Video is nothing fancy ah! So don't expect any fancy video effects or transitions! Link to the vlog is in this video description!

[@wnose]

It's 1 thing to read the recipe but something else completely to actually see it done. Thank you! From other videos, they use 50g sweet potato flour to 150 ml water for the batter. 2 eggs and 6 pcs oyster for the rest. Additions: fish sauce, green onions, sesame oil, cilantro and pepper.

[@junwenwee1152]

Any idea what he pours on top at 05:29? Thanks for the video, good job introducing local food!

Just wanna say i love ur channel!! Thanks for capturing all the local cuisines that we have here in Singapore. At least there are some memories captured on footage of food in Singapore that i can watch at old age even if hawker culture were to die off eventually....

[@horriblehector8595]

Nice... I always say that hawkers get their oil for free. This dish is the notorious artery clogging champion. However, I eat it on a weekly basis without any care for my health or safety.

That's a lot of oil. Scary. But looks good after cooking. For me, i prefer more starch than egg, I like the starchy sticky feel.

中華系料理は手間をかけているところが素晴らしい。 それに国によって地方色がある。添えている野菜は調味料としての香菜（パクチー）だろう。 これで食欲が増す。そして二種類のソース。それで牡蠣が入ったオムレツか、たまらないね。 食べたい。 ソースに関しては、酢醤油、ライム醤油もいいね。

You should eat Oysters Omelette once in every 3 years. When you eat, you have to eat at this stall at Newton Circles. Best in Singapore. Have been eating at his father’s old stall in the 70s at Kuek Road ( now Centrepoint area).

[@robinwong8046]

Back in the day at Orchard Road carpark the omlette did not have the oysters sitting on top and they were smaller and sweeter. just my memory from childhood. Those mentioning the oil brought up a memory of the char quay teow stall at Ang Mo Kio Central air con food court. the cook filled half his wok with oil before he placed the kauy teow in to pre cook it! Heart Attack wah low!

[@anitasubramans]

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

i don’t get why people are so alarmed at the amount of oil used here. regular stuff like fast food uses similar amounts of oil, i feel

[@albertdeng8652]

The difference is that they drain out the oil at fast food restaurants.

Hello Gregory Leow ! It looks delicious! Fried Oyster Omelette food is great (^ ^!

[@abishekraju2988]

My favourite part is at 05:47 by when you are still reeling from oil the oil added until then. Then bham: He rains fresh oil into in from the top. Killer. I would happily eat this if it were lard/ghee/butter/coconut oil as it would suit my macros on a Ketogenic diet, but that looks like industrial oil (vegetable/groundnut) that WILL clog my pipe work.

[@li5807]

I think that's some sort of seasoning. The wok started sizzling a lot which means it's not oil but smth of water content

[@bobbyng6436]

Its not oil.....its seasoning that he added in.

[@p6953]

Wah... knn ... fry oyster or drink oil? Siao bo

[@padredemishijos12]

This is street food for workers who need the energy for hard work, and who have little money. For the poorest its a energy packed meal of the day.

Too much emphasis on the eggs. Less eggs and more oysters.

Man, eat that and have dangerous cholesterol problems. Honesty revealed. Thanks

This is why after eating SG version...you would not take to the Thai and taiwan version.

So the secret is MUST be swimming in oil!😁 Probably some lard for extra flavour!😋

What is the liquid at 05:30 is it just water?

[@stvb2123]

I counted 13 scoops/spatulas' worth of oil- and that's assuming none were 'missed' in the scene cuts. I replicated this several times with water & got approx 300ml... for 4-5 portions of omlette... scary...

Main ingredient is oil. This is oiled oyster omelette

[@chooserenders]

this is omelette topped with oyster , not oyster omelette

[@kennyee2545]

it is my favourite but the cooking oil is a triglyceride issue for the heart, it will cause heart attack unless the cooking oil is changed to virgin olive oil or other cooking oil which is not bad cholesterol

[@macrick]

Olive oil is not suitable for such prolonged cooking time as it has a lower smoking point. You gonna burn the olive oil. And impart an awful taste to the dish.

[@loyckfiona]

Starch and eggs are thicker,more than the oyster. Dont know if there are anyone who can do crispy oyster omelette

Why did he throw away the first batch?

That amount of oil is good for 7 days cooking in a household.

[@anthonylim8854]

It is not Or Luak it is Oil Luak. Better stay away from this kind of food though it is delicious. Once a while is ok. There are other or Luak stay in your neighbourhood that’s use less much oil.

[@bencyber8595]

how fast went into where

[@tonymoly8739]

Super sinfully oily dish and I super love it but I only eat it once in a blue moon. Don't think the hawkers use pork lard in such dishes nowadays. In truth pork lard is good oil, better than oil derived from plants like sunflower, soy, canola and palm. Canola oil is actually an industrial oil, not fit for human consumption. Margarine and shortening are the worst kind of oil. Animal fats and butter is natural and fine as long as you eat it in moderation. Best oil for human consumption is avocado oil, cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil which is rich in lauric acid and MCT as well as olive oil. I only use olive and coconut oil and seldom eat out because hawkers and restaurants use palm or cheap vegetable oil to cook their food. Worse, some use recycled oil that has seen better days.
