Hup Kee Fried Oyster Omelette
Although Newton Food Centre is known to be a popular destination for tourists, with many stalls selling similar dishes, there’s one Oyster Omelette stall that stands out from the crowd: Hup Kee.
This stall offers a unique combination of the richness of oysters, the fluffiness of eggs, and the sticky heaviness of sweet potato paste that results in a hearty and filling meal. However, it should be noted that the dish can be more on the oily and greasy side.

Heng Carrot Cake is a must-visit and it’s not just because of their Michelin Bib Gourmand award. This beloved eatery has been delighting customers since 1971 with their scrumptious food and remains a popular spot to this day.
One standout feature of the oyster omelette dish is the nice crisp layer of egg, which is perfectly cooked without being too starchy. The omelette is also complemented by plump and tasty oysters, making for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Huat Heng Fried Oyster
Huat Heng Fried Oyster, listed in the Singapore Michelin Guide with a “Michelin Plate” award, offers up a delicious plate of their signature Fried Oyster.
What sets this stall apart from others is its unique cooking technique. Rather than ending up with clumpy, large pieces of fried batter, the baby oysters are fried with the eggs in a way that creates a more even presentation.
The batter is also cut up with a spatula during frying, resulting in a smaller portion that is more crispy and less starchy. Additionally, the chili sauce served at Huat Heng Fried Oyster is worth mentioning for its sourness and subtle hint of lime, which perfectly complements the dish.
