The flavor of oyster omelet and shrimp omelet is stable but lacks surprises. The portion of ingredients is moderate, the crust is thicker, with a chewy and soft texture, and the sauce is on the sweeter side. Overall, it is quite greasy and the price is slightly high.
This stall, "Bin Oyster Omelette with Shrimp," does pretty well at the Yanxing Night Market, as you can often see a line of customers. However, to be honest, the flavor isn’t particularly outstanding; it’s just a stable and average oyster omelette.
The quantity of oysters and shrimp is acceptable—not too stingy, but not enough to impress either. The omelette skin is slightly thick, offering a chewy yet somewhat soggy texture, while the sauce is on the sweeter side, following Tainan's style. Overall, there aren’t any major issues, but it is a bit oily, especially when you take it to go; the entire lunch box ends up greasy, and you might need a drink to help with that after finishing your meal.
Additionally, the prices at this stall have risen from 60 and 70 to now 80 NT dollars. While everyone understands the rise in prices, comparing the portion and flavor still makes it feel a bit unreasonably expensive.
What’s interesting is that this stall does not only appear at the Yanxing Night Market; they are mobile vendors and set up at different night markets daily—like in Guiren on Wednesdays and Jiali on Thursdays. So, if you happen to miss them at Yanxing Night Market but are interested, you could check where they’re setting up to potentially avoid the lines.
In summary, this oyster omelette is basically "stable but average"—it won't let you down, but it also doesn't offer any surprises. If you need to wait in line, it may not be worth the special wait.
