    While Kedai Kopi Seng Thor may have been known for its signature loh mee, the oyster omelette is equally popular. The omelette is deep-fried till golden brown perfection, with enough crisp around the edges. The oysters, in the meantime, are soft and fragrant upon every bite and the entire dish tastes even better when you dip it with chilli sauce!

    Usually crowded during the weekends.

    Things to expect

    Seng Thor’s oyster omelette is clearly not for the faint-hearted - lots of oil is used.

Oysters are fresh as well, so you don’t have to worry about the pungent smell that might turn you off. Instead, they are plump and succulent – two mouth-watering words that defined a tasty oyster omelette dish.

    New World Park Food CourtNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490


    There are no doubt that there are plenty of fried oyster omelette in Penang. New World Park Food Court is one of them and many have agreed that it is certainly one of the best in the area. A thin layer of batter is used on top of fresh oysters, mixed and fried to crispy perfection. As compared to most, the oyster omelette at New World Park Food Court is slightly more charred and crispy. Some may call it burnt, but some will consider it texture and added flavour. However, despite the prolonged period of cooking, the oysters remain juicy and moist - which is a big plus. The homemade chilli on the side too is pretty good.

    Tips

    Cash only.

    Things to expect

    A clean and bright food court.

    Best with

    Iced Herbal Tea, Kopi O or Cham.

    RM5.00 to RM10.00
