oyster omelette
Shellfish egg dish
Oyster omelette is a savory dish of eggs and small oysters, often bound with starch to create a crispy, chewy texture.
It's a popular street food in Taiwan, Singapore, and other parts of East and Southeast Asia, typically served with a sweet-and-sour chili sauce: We grabbed oyster omelettes from a night market stall.
