阿霞脆皮蚵仔煎

When it comes to the oyster omelette in Taiwan, it is usually believed to originate from the snacks of southern Fujian. However, in Tainan, there’s another legend about the origin of the oyster omelette. It is said that in 1661, Zheng Chenggong landed in Tainan with his army and fought against the Dutch forces. Due to a shortage of food, the soldiers sourced ingredients locally, mixing sweet potato starch and other grain powders into a batter, and combining whatever seafood, meat, and vegetables they could find to fry it into a pancake shape, which became the prototype of the oyster omelette. The oyster omelette I’m introducing today has a unique texture compared to the regular version... 🤤

✅ Oyster Omelette: The outer layer is crispy, with a texture similar to that of a biscuit but somewhat oily. The oysters are quite fresh, without any fishy taste. When paired with the sauce, the flavor is not too strong, but rather has a refreshing taste.

✅ Mixed Fry: In addition to the oysters, it also includes squid and shrimp. The overall ingredients perform steadily, with nothing particularly outstanding but still maintaining a good standard.

The oyster omelette at A-Hsia Crisp Skin Oyster Omelette truly lives up to its name; the outer layer is crispy, while the filling is soft and tender, making the texture very rich and one of the highlights of the shop. On the same day, I was recommended their stir-fried fish by the owner, but after tasting it, I found it overly salty, as if they added too much salt for free, and the price was also a bit high, resulting in low cost-performance value. Therefore, when visiting A-Hsia, the oyster omelette is the top choice, while other dishes can be considered.
