Chef Chen Oyster Omelette
×Oyster Omelette
Why you must eat itA stand that fries oysters bought right there inside Bashi. The market's freshness shows directly, the oysters' size and number plain on the plate. The sweet-potato batter is spread thin, tangled with egg and scallion, its edges fried fragrant. Add sweet-chilli and eat the milky sweetness of the oysters with the toasty batter together. In the market's bustle, wait at the griddle, take it, and eat it hot — that is the right way to taste this plate.
The Eighth Market (Bashi) is Xiamen old town's fresh market, packed from morning with seafood, meat and vegetable stalls. Within and around it sit snack stands that cook the market's ingredients on the spot. Oyster omelette is a signature of such market cooking — buying and cooking in one place, it competes on freshness. The market is liveliest in the morning and some stalls close after noon, so go early.
