For more information on 'Oar Jien' or oyster omelets that are commonly sold in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, click here.

Here's the fresh tub of fresh oysters from Washington. I called it a tub because that's what it felt to me as I was the only one consuming oysters in my family. Yes, the kids and Hubs are not fans of oysters... so more for me!


This turned out very well with my addition of browned crunchy bacon bits. Not like the ones sold in Singapore, Penang or Taiwan, I'm sure, but the added smokiness and crispiness of the bacon did add to the whole dish. And a few additional dashes of Tabasco made it heavenly.

Second attempt, tried this without the bacon and with the Asian chili sauce. Much spicier! Also added a little oil while cooking this and it did increase the crispiness of the omelet.
My blogger friend Lee Ping has a nice recipe on her site if you are interested in trying out the authentic version.
